TO: FROM= BY: SUBJECT: CITY OF RANCHO CUCAMONGA STAFF REPORT April 13, 1994 Chairman and Members of the Planning Commission Brad Buller, City Planner Steve Hayes, Associate Planner TIME EXTENSION FOR CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT 90-16 (GOVERNMENT REFERRAL 89-08) - CHINO BASIN MUNICIPAL WATER DISTRICT - A request for a time extension to establish a wastewater treatment plant on 32.5 acres of land in the Heavy Industrial District (Subarea 15) of the Industrial Area Specific Plan, located at the southwest corner of 6th Street and Etiwanda Avenue - APN: 229-283-62. BACKGROUND: Conditional Use Permit 90-16 was conditionally approved by the Planning Commission on January 22, 1992. Each phase of the wastewater reclamation plant is capable of handling 7 million gallons per day (mgd), for an ultimate plant capacity of 28 mgd at its estimated completion date of 2007. Also, the approval included four buildings composed primarily of split-face, fluted block and stucco with metal posts, as well as numerous tanks and basins scattered throughout the project area. The proposed time extension would grant the CBMWD their first one-year extension to January 22, 1995. The Development Code Section 17.02.100(B) allows three possible time extensions in twelve-month increments not to exceed a total of five years from the original date for all projects approved by the Planning Commission. ANALYSIS: Staff .has analyzed the proposed time extension request and has compared the proposal with the current development criteria as outlined in the Development Code and the Industrial Area Specific Plan. Staff found that this project, as originally approved, was not affected by any revisions to the Industrial Area Specific Plan or the Development Code over the past two years. Therefore, staff has determined that the project still complies with all applicable City codes, requirements, and development criteria within the Heavy Industrial District of the Industrial Area Specific Plan and all applicable Development Code regulations. RECO~4ENDATION: Staff recommends that the Planning Commission approve a one-year time extension for Conditional Use Permit 90-16 through adoption of the attached Resolution. / Citf Plannek~--" Att'achments: Exhibit "A" - Cover Sheet/Vicinity Map Exhibit #B# - Aerial Photograph Exhibit "C" - Site Plan Exhibit #D" - Landscape Plan Exhibit "E" - Grading Plan Exhibit #F" - B~ilding Elevations Exhibit 'G" - Resolution No. 92-11 Exhibit "E" - Letter from Applicant Resolution of Approval ITeM A . ..~-T IIB II IJ I t ~E :: i[ il '1 ,L I :h 'I' RESOLUTION NO. 92-11 A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF RANCHO CUCAMONGA, CALIFORNIA, APPROVING CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO. 90-16 FOR A WASTEWATER TREATMENT PLANT ON 32.5 ACRES OF LAND IN THE HEAVY INDUSTRIAL DISTRICT (SUBAREA 15) OF THE INDUSTRIAL AREA SPECIFIC PLAN, LOCATED AT THE SOUTHWEST CORNER OF 6TH STREET AND ETIWANDA AVENUE, AND MAKING FINDINGS IN SUPPORT THEREOF - APN= 229-283-62 A.

David Barker, Chairman ATTEST: Brad Bullet, Secretary I, Brad Bullet, Secretary of the Planning Commission of the City of Rancho Cucamonga, do hereby certify that the foregoing Resolution was duly and regularly introduced, passed, and adopted by the Planning Co~mission of the City of Rancho Cucamonga, at a regular meeting of the Planning Commission held on the 13th day of April 1994, by the following vote-to-wit= AYES= COMMISSIONERS= NOES= COMMISSIONERS: ABSENT; COMMISSIONERS: DATE: TO: FROM: BY: SUBJECT: CITY OF RANCHO CUCAMONGA April 13, 1994 Chairman and Members of the Planning Commission STAFF REPORT Brad Bullet, City Planner Steve Hayes, Associate Planner ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT AND CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT 94-03 - RYDER TRUCK RENTALS - A request to install a 1,152 square foot temporary office module on a 4.23 acre parcel currently containing a 3,404 square foot shop building and open truck storage areas within the General Industrial District (Subarea 14) of the Industrial Area Specific Plan, located at 9366 Santa Anita Avenue - APN: 229-321-11. Staff reco-~ends issuance of a Negative Declaration. PROJECT AND SITE DESCRIPTION: Action Requested By Applicant: The applicant is requesting approval for the interim use of a temporary office module. Site Characteristics: The site is currently improved with a 3,404 square foot metal shop building. O~en vehicle storage areas occupy a majority of the site. A block wall, Eucalyptus trees, and curbs and gutters exist along the Santa Anita Avenue frontage. Chain link fencing and sporadic landscaping exist along &11 interior property lines. C. Parking Calculations: Number of Number of Type Square Parking Spaces Spaces of Use Footage Ratio Required Provided Office 1,152 1/250 5 8 Shop/Storage 3,404 1/1000 3 3 TOTAL 4,556 8 11 ANALYSIS: ae General: The applicant is proposing to utilize a 1,152' square foot manufactured building as a temporary office facility for Ryder employees being relocated from their closing Santa Fe Springs facility. The temporary office building will house approximately five employees during regular weekday business hours. For further information about the proposal, please refer to the applicant's letter (see Exhibit "A#). The Site Plan (Exhibit "C#) indicates a future 1,600 square foot permanent office building near the main driveway entrance. PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT CUP 94-03 - RYDER TRUCK April 13, 1994 Page 2 The purpose of requiring a Conditional Use Permit for temporary office modules is to assure that the module will be removed and replaced with permanent buildings over a specific period of time and to improve the aesthetic integrity of the buildings by requiring improvements such as ~oundation skirting, roof variation, and equipment screening. The Development Code requires permanent street improvements and landscaping with the placement of temporary offices through the Conditional Use Permit process. These items are incorporated into the attached Resolution of Approval as recommended by staff for this specific scenario. Land Use Compatibility: Currently, industrial distribution and manufacturing businesses occupy the buildings to the south and east of the site, while the properties to the north and west are currently vacant. The trailer is planned to be located near the northeast corner of the site, away from any buildings or activity on adjacent developed properties. Therefore, staff expects no compatibility problems to arise with the proposed location of the trailer. Parking: With the addition of the office module on the property, an additional five parking spaces will be required for a total of eight overall. The applicant is proposing to construct an 11 space parking area on-site per City Standards. The parking area has been conditioned to be constructed in conjunction with the office facility. With this condition, staff anticipates no parking problems to occur. Modular Structure: The Development Code requires that office modules be designed to look permanent, including screening temporary foundations, screening utility equipment, and using architectural elements, such as overhangs and walkways. The "Designer Suits" as shown in Exhibit "D" appears to meet the requirements of the Development Code by providing a majority of the recommended design elements. Therefore, staff feels that the modular structure as shown will meet the intent of the Development Code for providing a more permanent aesthetically pleasing look. Site Improvements: The Development Code requires "necessary street improvements, grading, drainage facilities, and landscaping" be installed in conjunction with temporary office modules. The street frontage of the property is lacking full improvements, specifically, sidewalk, street lights, and landscaping. Staff recommends the following improvements per Industrial Area Specific Plan standards: Landscape the full frontage (i.e., 25 feet average depth of landscape). 2. A screen wall, 8 feet height, along the full frontage. Provide solid metal gates to replace the existing chain link gates along the street frontage. Landscape the interior property lines (trees planted at 30 feet on center). PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT CUP 94-03 - RYDER TRUCK April 13, 1994 Page 3 5. Provide sidewalks along the Santa Anita Avenue frontage. 6. Landscape screening of the utility vault in the streetscape. 7. Provide new driveway approaches and street lighting along the street frontage. Environmental Assessment: Upon review of Part I of the Initial Study and completion of Part II of the Environmental Checklist, staff has found no significant impacts related to locating a temporary modular building on the subject property. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recon~nends that the Planning Co~nission approve Conditional Use Permit 94-03 through adoption of the attached Resolution of Approval with Conditions.

Ryder recenfiy closed it's Truck Sales Center In Santa Fe Springs, California so as to consolidate more of Its business operations into the Rancho Cucamonga community. With the closing of this facility, I would estimate our current number of employees and payroll in the city of Rancho Cucamonga to be as follows: Ryder Commercial Leasing & Sewices - District Office 40 Employees 8301 Elm Avenue $1,275,000.00 Annual Payroll Rancho Cucamonga, Califomia 91730 Ryder Consumer Rental - D!strict Office 8301 Elm Avenue Rancho Cucamonga, California 91730 15 Employess $500,000.00 Annual Payroll Ryder Commercial L_~e_sing & Sewices - Branch Office 27 Employees 9306 Santa Anita Avenue $1,100,000.00 Annual Payroll Rancho Cucamonga, California 91730 Ryder Commercial L_~_sing & Sewices - UTC Center 5 Employees 9366 Santa Anita Avenue $325,000.00 Annual Payroll Rancho Cucamonga, California 91730 As you are aware, our cond~ion~ use perm~ ap¢c~ion per~in~ o~y to prope~y located at 9366 Santa Anna Avenue, a Ioc~k~n U~at Ryder presm~y has under lease until the year 2001, with a ol:Xion to renew the lease for an(Xher five (5) years. Mr. Dan Coleman F~brua~/14, 1994 Page T~o The current building does not provide enough oltlce space to adequately house our employs, without e~er~ive remodeling to the current building under isese. This remodeling is not compatil~e with our current buelnes~ m~ds. so we f~t that the purchase of a new *Top-of*the. Une" 48'x24' modular office building would provide the additional office space we need to co~duct our business from this location. Our plans call for a professional site plan and set-up of this temporary housing solution to our lease property, that conforms to the specific recommendations of the Planning Division regarding a Icing term improvement to the property and community. As de~ailad in our site plans, Ryder is prepared to invest in additional property improvements in land_.xc_~_plng and sidewalk additions around the location, and to ensure that the modular office building will be placad and ski~tad to give the appearance of a permanent building, that is appealing to the local business commune. I hope that I have provided you with some insight into our current business plans and investments in the community, and that you and the Planning Division can recommend approval of our plans to the city of Rancho Cuce~. Thank you for assistance with this project and please call Jim Fantocone at 714/939-9550, if we can provide any additional information on this permit application.

'Staff recommends issuance of a Negative Declaration. (Continued from March 9, 1994). BACKGROUND: The Planning Commission reviewed the above project on March 9, 1994, and continued it to this meeting. At that meeting, the Commission raised several design issues as well as the inaccuracies among the different plans such ae elevations, perspective of the front elevation, floor plan, aite plan and landscape plan. The Commission directed the applicant to clear up the inaccuracies and revise the elevations to address their design concerns and submit them for the Design Review Committee to review. At the April 5, 1994, meeting, the Design Review Committee (McNiel, coleman) reviewed the revised plans and recommended approval. Attached is a copy of the action comments of that meeting for the Commission to review. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the Planning Commission approve Development Review 93-20 through adoption of the attached Resolution of Approval and issue a Negative Declaration.

Background: At the March 9, 1994 meeting, the Planning Co. mission reviewed the above project and continu~ it to the April 13, 1994 meeting. The Commission raised several ~esign issues as well as the inaccuracies among the different plans such as elevations, perspective of the front elevation, f!lonr plan, site and landscape plans. The Commission directed the applicant to clear up ~he inaccuracies, revise the el.various to address t~eir design concerns and s-~t them for the Design Review C~lttee revie~ at the April 5, 1994 meeting. Attached ~o~ the Co~*ttee's reference is a copy of the ~ch 9, 1994 Co~ission m~nutes. The applicant has revised the development plans accor~ing to ~he discussions he had with staff and C~issioner Maleher at a meeting on March 14, 1994. The following section of the report describes the revisions to ~Jae project. Staff North Elevation~ The firs~ set of col-~s and horison~al panel is projected a distance of 4 ~eet while the second set (closest to the ~riangnlar element) is projected a distance o~ 10 feet from the building wall. All the colmane and horizon~al panels are sandblasted ~aterials and are provided with so,fits. At the west side o£ the triangnlar element, a vestibule is proposed. According to ~he applic~nt, the ter~nt, San Berr~r~ino County Department of Public Social SeTvices, recitalted the vesti]~lle to address the wind issue. The outer set of glass win~ows and ~oore are recessed 3 feet frou the horizontal panel while ~he main entry doors are at the bu/lding line. 2e East and We~t Elevationst Instead o~ the 9-inch pop-out building wall, ~h~ ~ columns and horizontal panels with soffi~ as in the north elevation are proposed. The 3 oul'I~ in the middle are projected a distance of 4 ~eet and '~e set of ~raneitional columns are projected a ~oot from the building wall. South Elevationst This elevation i~ unchanged except for the 4-foot wall p~nels that ere turned into 4-foot columns consistent with the other elevations. DESIGN REVIEW CO~ENTS DR 93-20 - WILKINSOH April 5, 1994 Page 2 Comment: The floor plan, site an~ landscape plans are co-ordinate~ to reflect accurately the revisions to the elevations. One minor item that the Comm4ttee may consider is to ~ecide on whether the outer set of windows and doors of the vestibule at the north elevation should use the same sapphire blue glass or. clear glass for visibility into the main entry. Staff believes that the applicant has revised the plans to meet the concerns raised by the commission. EMoign Roview~mmitteeAction: Members Present: Larry McNiel, Dan Coleman Staff Planner= Nancy Fong The Committee recommended approval of the revised elevations with the con~ition that the outer set of windows and ~oors of the vertibule at the north elevation be of clear glass. Attachment: Planning Comm~SSiOn Minutes dated March 9, 1994 Commissioner Melcher said it appeared the games would not then attract unaccompanied minors and he did not foresee problems. Commissioner Lumpp asked if the applicant agreed to the condition-jj Mr. Baker said the conditions were acceptable. Hearing no further testimony, Chairman Barker~"~ed the public hearing. Motion: Moved by Melcher, s~ ~ued by Tolstoy, to adopt the resolution approving Conditional U~ _£mit 94-05 with modification to delete the condition stating thae/.~e approval would run with the applicant.

Staff recommends issuance of a Negative Declaration. Brad Bullet, City Planner, presented the staff report. Chairman Barker invited ~blic comment. Tim Beadle, K B & Associates, 9650 Business Center Drive, Rancho Cucamonga, stated he represented the ~wner. Me said that the plans had gone through a number of changes in the design review process and the plans now represented what had been requested. Me thanked staff and the Design Review Committee for their assistance and said he felt the design had been improved by going through the process. He noted that the resolution calls for bicycle storage spaces within a certain distance from the main building entrance and further requires at leaIt five %ockable, all weather storage spaces. He questioned if the bicycle lockers could be located near the employee entrance rather than the main entrance. Mr. Bullet replied that was acceptable. Mr. Beadle observed that the resolution requires dedication of a 33-foot right-of-way for Red Oak Street. He said the street was 'already fully 'dedicated and improved. Dan Jamel, Senior Civil Engineer, thought the current dedication is only 30 fee~. Planning Commission Minutes -6- March 9, 1994 Mr. Beadle thought the requirement had only been for 30 feet at the time the original project was approved. He ~aid the road is fully improved and it was his understanding it had been dedicated and accepted by the City. Mr. James responded that the sidewalk has not been installed. He said the additional 3 feet is required to bring the project up to current standards and would be included in the sidewalk area. Mr. Beadle did not think there should be a problem so long as the additional 3 feet does not impact the landscaping plan or placement of trees. Mr. James replied that the approved plans had been available for the applicant's review during the process. Commissioner Lumpp recalled there had been some discussions regarding the location of the bus shelter. Mr. Beadle stated they had met with the City Engineer regarding the location of =he bus shelter. He said they had been informed that staff policy is to place the bus shelter on the private side adjacent to the public right-of- way.. He believed the shelters are a public facility and should be placed in the public right-of-way and turned over to the City for maintenance. He said they would be willing to accept the bus shelter on the private side but he would like the opportunity to discuss the matter further with the City Engineer. Commissioner Lumpp questioned why bus shelters are built on private property. Mr. Bullet stated that the City desires that bus shelters be architecturally integrated with the surrounding development and that the shelters be privately maintained by the business entity. He said shelters are therefore placed outside of the public right-of-way but adjacent to the walkways. Commissioner Tolstoy believed the policy should remain as is. Commissioner Lumpp disagreed and felt the matter should be studied. He noted that the plans indicate "bus Itop area (by others)." He asked for confirmation that the applicant would be building the bus shelter. Mr. Beadle confirmed that was correct. Comm£se£oner Halchar coo~nented that Mr. Beadle had requested that he review the architectural concepts. He said he thought a number of understandings had been reached at that meeting. Commissioner Melcher felt that the rendering does not adequately represent the elevations. He observed that the elevations show the parapet height to be uniform while the rendering shows a portion of the north side to extend above the remainder of the parapet. He hoped the height is to be uniform. He noted that the elevations depict columns in the ~rea that the rendering depicts the ribbed concrete surface extending under the overhang. He felt the rendering is the preferable option. Commissioner Melcher remarked that according to the floor plan, the recessed area shown on the rendering to the west of the triangular projection is no longer there as Planning COmmission Minutes -7- March 9, 1994 the area is now enclosed by glass and will be used as a vestibule with doors on the western end. He indicated that the landscaping depicted on the west side of that area in both the rendering and the conceptual landscape plan would have to be deleted if the doors open to the west. He stated he had also been given some hope that there would be some layering in the other three elevations~ however, they appeared to remain very flat with only minor offsets on the east and west elevations. He thought the employee rest area also appeared very plain. Mr. Beedle etated the process had gone through a number of changes since he had earlier discussed the project with Commissioner Melcher. He said the reliefs on the sash and west elevations ware portrayed in the designs which were reviewed by the Design Review Committee and the Committee opted to pull out the wall rather than having a porte-cochere over entrances on the east and west wings. He said revisions to the south elevation had been made at the direction of the Design Review Committee to enhance the employee rest area. He sHeted that the rendering was an earlier concept which had been presented during the initial review by staff. He said earlier designs did not have a lintel which is part of the vestibule entrance which was added following discussions with staff. He said the final detail elevations reflect structural requirements in order to design the lintel. He said the design depicted in the rendering would not be able to structurally hold the lintel because of the sheer wall that iH is connected to. He said the lintel must rest on & column and therefore the columns ware introduced. He noted the door entrance had been repositioned to avoid the Santa Ana wind problem. He suggested the door could be moved back. Chairman Barker thought the rendering should not have been provided for this evening since it does not reflect the proposed building. Mr. Beedle felt the rendering was necessary to give the proper identification of the forms and characteristics. He said the detail elevations show what occurred during the Design Review Committee process. Mr. Bullet agreed the illustration should not be part of the approval unless the Commission wished to go in that direction. He said the hard line elevation drawings would be referred to if the project were approved tonight. Chairman Barker believed the rendering should agree with what the Commission was being asked to approve. He did not feel thole Commissioners who ware not on Design Review should have to reinterpret the elevations. He thought the renderings depict creativity while the elevations reflect rather plain architecture. He requested that in the future renderings not be presented unless they accurately reflect what the Commission is to approve. Mr. Beedie felt the addition of the columns would not greatly affect the appearance. Commissioner Melcher felt the changes from the rendering are significant. He said the rendering suggests the entrance is recessed, when in fact the glass would be pushed out. He noted the nice effect of the sloping surface sliding under the other is no longer there. Planning Commission Minutes -8- March 9, 1994 Mr. Beadle felt the rendering reflects the overall thrust of the design. Comm£aaioner Lumpp stated he had been on the Design Review Committee and staff had expressed concern about the triangular portion and the Committee had viewed a rendering similar to the one shown this evening. He said he had relied heavily on the rendering and liked the recess on =he north elevation. He did not favor approving the project if it is not reflective of the rendering because he would like to see it built as depicted in the rendering. Mr. Beadle stated the design of the vestibule entrance was to accommodate the ccanments regarding the Santa Ana wind. He said they could adjust the design to provide for the setback several feet back from the drip line. He commented that unfortunately the rendering is not strutrurally sound because a column is necessary for support of the lintel and they could modify the rendering in order to depict the column. Mr. Bullet suggested the Commission could review the project based only upon the oliveriehl excluding the rendering, continue the matter, or take action with an added condition that elevation features could be deferred back to staff or Design Review to consider the specific architectural elements prior to islu&nce of building permits. Commissioner Tolstoy suggested that a more accurate rendering be provided. Mr. Beadle felt the building design is as reflected in the rendering with the exception of a column to hold the lintel. Me felt the overall character of the building is accurately depicted on the illustration. He volunteered to move the entrance door back to the north side. Marshall Wilkinson, the consternation. of the entry. 20401 Bayview Avenue, Santa Ana Heights, apologized for He thought the bulk of the problem occurs in the treatment Chairman Barker felt all of Commissioner Melcher°a concerns were valid. Mr. Wilkinson said the entL-y feature is approximately 9 feet deep from the face of the building to the drip line. He stated they could do whatever they wanted within the 9 feet. He recalled it had been suggested during the design review process that they locate the doors on the west elevation of the entry feature in order to prov£de some protection from the Santa Aria winds. He said that locating 6-foot wide entry doors within the 9-foot element limits the amount of recess available on the glass. He felt they could create 1 to 2 feet of recess with the use of · soffit. He said that as more recess is created, anyone entering the door will be faced with t glass well. He said the recoil could be created by moving the doors back to the north elevation. He etated the proper~y Lo currently in escrow end he would like to commence construction as soon as possible. He requested the pro~ect be approved and he be able to work out the matter with staff. There was no further public testimony. Plann£ng commission Minutes -9- March 9, 1994 Chairman Barker stated he did not wish to see the entire Commission function as a Delign Review Committee. He noted that focus had been aimed at the primary element of concern, the north entry, but he felt all the concerns raised by Commissioner Melcher were valid. Co~issioner Tolstoy suggested the applicant provide renderings which reflect what will occur as well as a floor plan that is compatible with the illustrations. He said he agreed with Commissioner Melcher's concerns regarding the front. Conuniasioner Lumpp stated he had looked at the rendering at Design Review and he had used it as a focus feature for changes that were pointed out. He felt the matter should be continued until an accurate rendering is presented. Chairman Barker was comfortable with referring the matter back to the Design Review Committee. He invited further public comment. Mr. Beadle stated they had made the changes recommended by the Design Review Committee. Chairman Barker felt the important thing at this point was to process the project through so that the property owner could build his project and the City is happy with the building which is built. He thought enough recommendations had been given this evening to facilitate the process. Mr. Bullet thought the east, west, and south elevations depict the direction given by the Design Review Committee. He did not think the glass vestibule area was reviewed by the Committee. He thought the Commission had expressed a preference for the illustration and the removal of the glass vestibule. He said the applicant had expressed a willingness to do that. He was not sure if the column is 'strutrurally necessary for the lintel. He thought that if the column is necessary, the Design Review Commission may wish to look at other options. He suggested that the Commission advise the applicant now if the columns are acceptable as in the elevations, rather than the rendering. Commissioner Melcher suggested the proper approach would be to refer the matter back to the Design Review Committee to look at a full set of integrated exhibits. Mr. Beadle asked if they could bring exhibits to the March 15 Design Review Committee meeting. Commissioner Melcher commented that the building will probably be in existence for the next 30 to 50 years. He said he respected the developer's time constraints but he wanted to be sure City standards are met. Mr. Beadle asked if the matter could be brought back to full Commission at =he March 23, 1994, meeting. It was the consensus of the Commission that the matter should be continued to the April 13, 1994, Planning Commission meeting with the applicant prov£d~ng accurate comprehensive drawings for the April 5 Design Review Comm~%ee meeting. Planning Commission Minutes -10- March 9, ~%94 Mr. Beedle confirmed that the applicant should provide a floor plan, rendering, and elevations which are precise to each other. He asked if there was consensus that the east, south, and west elevations represent what the Design Review Co~gaittee and staff had recommended. Chairman Barker stated that if he were on Design Review, he would point out that there are several things which can be done to the other elevations which would improve the project. He felt Commissioner Melcher had articulated some good suggestions and suggested that Mr. Beedle either review the tapes or talk to Commissioner Melther. Commissioner Melcher felt his other comments should be considered. Commissioner Lumpp agreed.

BACKGROUND: Under the City's Sign Ordinance, no specific criteria is established for the Regional Related Commercial designation. The sign criteria, therefore, is submitted by the applicant and is reviewed and approved by the Planning Commission. On May 21, 1992, the Planning Commission approved the Uniform Sign Program for the Foothill Marketplace. The program established a hierarchy of signs for anchor, major, intermediate, and shop tenants (see Exhibit "B"). To date, three signs have been approved within the center - the two anchor tenants (Price Club and Wal-Mart) and one freestanding pad (In-N-Out Burger). On April 28, 1993, the Planning Commission considered a sign program amendment submitted by the applicant to modify the definition of a "major tenant." The request was to lower the square footage requirement from 30,000 square feet to 23,500 square feet and would have allowed larger signs for Office Depot (23,500 square feet) and Petsmart (25,050 square feet). After reviewing the information, the Planning Commission denied the amendment request without prejudice (see Exhibit "E"). ANALYSIS: The applicant has again submitted a request to amend the Foothill Marketplace Uniform Sign Program. The applicant is proposing to lower the major tenant square footage from 30,000 square feet to 17,000 square feet. This would allow Office Depot, Petsmart, and Michaels to have 30-inch letters, with the possibility of 36-inch letters subject to Design Review Co~m%ittee review and approval. A 30-inch sign can be read from 1,250 feet away and a 36-inch sign is legible at ~,500 feet (see Exhibit "F"). The result is an 'increase of 6 inches in the letter height for those three tenants. Elevations of both the 30-inch and 36-inch letters have been provided. The tenant mix within the entire center would change as follows: ITEM D PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT AMENDMENT TO USP 119 - FOOTHILL MARKETPLACE April 13, 1994 Page 2 TYPE OF TENANT ORIGINAL NO. PROPOSED NO. Anchor 2 2 Major 3 6 Intermediate 3 0 When reviewing signs for a tenant, one of the key elements to consider is the relationship between the size of the sign and the area of the building face. Given the current tenant names (Office Depot, Petsmart, and Michaels) and the bui].ding face available for signage, staff believes that the 36-inch letters are proportional to the building. However, should the tenants change in the future, staff is concerned that tenants with larger names will "force" a sign in order to utilize 36-inch letters. During the Comission meeting of April 28, 1993, the Co~nission discussed the possibility of establishing criteria to prevent excessively long signs. No such criteria has been submitted with the application. Another important element of sign design that can increase or decrease visual "impact" is the line weight or thickness of the letters. For example, even though the letter height is the same in Exhibit "C-2," the thicker, block- style letters in the Petsmart name read as much larger and bolder than the thinner, script letters in the Michaels name (which are further diminished by the use of lower case letters). Therefore, the flexibility exists for tenants to make their lettering heavier to obtain a greater impact, even though the letter height doesn't change. The Planning Commission has also expressed aesthetic concerns with such sign designs, including the previous amendment proposal. The Commission has traditionally taken a conservative approach to signage to avoid overbearing signs while maintaining adequate business identification. There have been no recent decisions that would indicate a change in this position. The current criteria will provide adequate business identification. RECO~WENDATION: Staff recommends that the Planning Commission deny the application through minute action. ,BB:SM/jfs Attachments: Exhibit "A" - Letter from Applicant Exhibit "B" - Site Plan Exhibit "C# - Building Elevations Exhibit "D" - Sign Program Excerpt Exhibit "E" - Planning Co~ission Minutes dated April 28, 1993 Exhibit "F" - Sign Visibility Chart FOOTHILL MARKETPLACE PARTNERS 3620 Birch Street, Suite 100 Newport Beach, CA 92660 (714) 757-7776 FAX (714) 757-7788 Februa~ 10, 1994 Mr. Scott Murphy Associate Planner CITY OF RANCHO CUCAMONGA 10500 Civic Center Drive Rancho Cucamonga, CA 91789 t-'E B 1 5 i9S4 Re: Sign Program Foothill Marketplace Rancho Cucamonga, CA Dear Scott: Once again, I find it necessary to apply for an amendment to our Uniform Sign Program. As stated before, I believe that 30" letters will be architecturally out of scale to the grand entries to our major tenants. For example, Sport Chalet being 36,000 square feet is allowed 36" letters. However, since 13,000 square feet is aii~ibuted to mezzanine, theft footprint is smaller than both PetsMart and Office Depot yet they have the similar architectural entry. Therefore, I request that our inte, mediate tenants be allowed, upon Planning Commission's review, to have 36" channel letters. The City has designated this site to be a regional shopping center. Let it be one and let it compete with adjacent City's projects. Don't diminish the architecture we, together, have worked so hard to attain by forcing our tenants to have small, out of scale signs. Thank you in advance for your consideration. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me. Sincerely, Gregory. A.

A request to amend the Uniform Sign Program for Foothill Marketplace to change the definition of a "major tenant" and to allow for "logo graphic signage" within a previously approved commercial retail center in the regional Related Commercial designation (Subarea 4) of the Foothill Boulevard Specific Plan, located on the south side of Foothill Boulevard between 1-15 and Btiwanda Avenue - APN= 229-031-27 through 44. Scott Murphy, Associate Planner, presented the staff report. Commissioner Tolstoy asked if Mr. Murphy was able to find the chart the Commission once had regarding sign heights. Mr. Murphy replied he had not. Dan Coleman, Principal Planner, stated he knew where it was and that he would get i.t. Chairman McNiel opened the public hearing. Greg Wattson, Foothill Marketplace Partners, 3620 Birch, Newport Beach, stated what they are proposing for Office Depot is 36 inch letters which are more in scale with the building's architecture and msssing and could be read from Foothill Boulevard. He referred to a study from an independent sign consultant, Gemini, Inc., that stated the readable distance for signs that far from the street (460 feet) is 42 to 48 inches. He stated that the 24- or 30-inch signs are too small for the buildings' architecture. He commented that approving their request does not take the matter out of the Commission's hands because it has to come back to the Commission for final approval. He did not feel that staff's comparison of their center to Terra Vista in the staff report was appropriate. He stated that other stores would be obscuring the view of these buildings which is not the case at Terra Vista. He also con~nented that Terra Vista had two categories for signage= over 50,000 square feet, which allows a 4 foot 3 inch sign; and under 50,000 square feet, which allows a 24 inch sign. He stated that Ross Dress for Less is 26,000 square Planning Commission Minutes -8- April 28, 1993 feet and was approved for a 24 inch sign, but there sign is 48 inches high. He said his tenants are 24,000 and 25,000 square feet, respectively, and they would be comparable to Rose in square footage. He stated Big Five has a total of 42 inches of signage. Chairman McNiel asked what color the Office Depot signs are. He etated he thought it was a royal or dark blue. Mr. Wattson etated the signs are yellow with a royal blue outline. He commented that Petemart would be red. Chairman MeNial asked how tall the letters for Petsmart are, including the bouncing ball. Mr. Wattson stated what they are asking for is a 36 inch sign. Commissioner Melcher asked what the area of the footprint is for Office Depot. Mr. Wattson replied that it is 24,978 square feet and it is 150 feet long. Commissioner Melcher etated that if the footprint were 33 feet deeper in the north/south direction, the store would contain 5,000 more square feet and the frontage would stay the same, but by the definition of the sign program, they would be entitled the larger sign. Me commented he did not have a problem with the requested change. Chairman McNlel asked who the five major tenants are. Mr. Wattson replied the major tenants are Food 4 Less (50,000 square feet), Sports Chalet (36,000 square feet), Circuit City (33,000 square feet), Office Depot and Petsmart. Mike Bank, Sanetel Coordination Consultant for Office Depot, 4949 Bthel Avenue, Sherman Oaks, stated he has worked with Mr. Wattson closely on this project and he agrees with his comments. He etated that Office Depot is a tenant of a comparable class to the major tenants in the center. He stated that because of the size of the entrance to the building that a 36 inch sign would be more appropriate. Chairman McNiel closed the public hearing. Commissioner Vallette stated she could not remember how the larger Terra Vista signs got approved. Mr. Murphy co;rented that there was at least one amendment to the sign program that made an allowance for Roes, Service Merchandise, and Montgomery Wards to have larger signs. Commissioner Tolstoy stated that those stores were approximately 770 feet from the street where Office Depot and Petemart are only 390 feet from the street. Commissioner Vallette asked why Mr. Murphy was reco~mending approval of the trademark logo signs and denying modifications to major tenant. Planning Commission Minutes -9- April 28, 1993 Mr. Murphy stated that with the logo there is not accompanying lettering so it means a reduction in sign area which is a tradeoff for allowing the logo. He commente~ the issue with the letter size is based on what has been allowed in the past, in this center as well as other center. in the City, for the necessary height for clear visibility from Foothill Boulevard, and the architecture. Chairman McNiel asked if the Commission followed staff'. recommendation if the applicant could come back to Design Review for the 30 or 36 inch letter.. Mr. Bullet responded that, if the Commission approved this request, the applicant's options are 24-, 30-, or 36-inch signs but the applicant is limited to 30 inch.. or less if thi. request were not approved. Commissioner Melcher stated he has concerns about the shape and design of the Pet.mart sign. He commented that, if the request were granted based on the Office Depot sign, the Commission may want to remember that the applicant cited the overall dimensions of the field that is occupied by a sign and it might be a good idea to deal with the Pet.mart sign on that basis - from the top of the uppermost curve to the bottom of the lowermost curve - to regulate its height. Mr. Murphy stated that, even if this request were approved tonight, there was no guarantee that the applicant would get anything beyond a 30 inch sign. Commissioner Chitlea stated that she did not see the justification for the request and she agreed with staff on the intermediate sign sizes because the stores are not as great a distance from the street as the stores mentioned at Terra Vista. Commissioner Tolstoy co,anted that he also agreed with staff's recommendation. Chairman McNiel asked for further clarification that if the request were granted, it still wouldn't commit either the commission or the applicant to a sign that large if it doesn't fit architecturally. Mr. Murphy stated that it only commits everyone to a 30 inch letter; everything just shifts six inches - 24-30 inch letters are currently allowed; approval would change that to 30-36 inch letters, subject to Design Review approval. Chairman McNiel stated the Commission had been concerned previously over the size of a sign on a building and it turned out fine; he cited the Target building as an example. He remarked that he thought that sign would be too large, but he didn't think so after it was up. Mr. Bullet suggested an alternative might be to develop a formula that would allow up to 36-inch letters if there is excess space horizontally. Commissioner Vallette stated she has always been in favor of addressing the sign program because it is important to the business community to make sure Planning Commission Minutes -10- April 28, 1993 that their business has the visibility it needs to succeed and it serves the community to let them know what exists there. She stated she thought it could be done tastefully, as Mr. Bullet suggested. Commissioner Tolstoy asked Commissioner Vallette if she was suggesting the applicant be allowed to have 36 inch letters if the Commission changes the definition. Commissioner Vallette replied affirmatively, if it could -be done within the appropriate available space and if it fit architecturally. Commissioner Tolstoy stated if that was the case, approval should be done on a case-by-case basis rather than a blanket basis. Mr. Bullet stated that all signs are approved on a case-by-case basis if they wish to go up to 36 inches. He stated that staff could establish a policy that states 30- to 36-inch letters would be allowed only if certain criteria are met. Commissioner Melcher remarked that the change makes some sense, but the Commission has to be careful how it will impact the other three stores. Commissioner Tolstoy stated that it opens the door for other regionally related centers to increase their signage and, by changing the square footage, the Commission would be setting a precedence. Commissioner Melcher stated he thought each center had it own program. Mr. Bullet replied that both centers have their own sign programs. He stated that they used the Town Center as a guide but this program is different from the Town Center and it has been accepted by definition by the Commission. Motion: Moved by Vailerrs, seconded by Tolstoy, to accept staff's recommendation to approve the use of trademark logo signs, and deny modifications to the major tenant definition. Mr. Bullet stated if the Commission wanted to keep the door open for the option he mentioned, they could deny this request without prejudice, and then the applicant could come beck with a request for · 36-inch sign if they meet the additional criteria to be established. Commissioner Vailerrs stated she would include that in her motion. Commissioner Tolstoy stated he would also accept that amendment to the motion but it was just putting off the argument for another time. The motion carried by the following vote.

BAQCGI~NI): On June 25, 1986, the Planning Comtsston conditionally approved Parcel Map 9896 con~nonly referred to as the Bixby Business Park. The area is zoned Industrial Park and is within Subarea 12 of the Industrial Specific Plan. With the subdivision the public improvements for 5th Street were installed to City standards. The street light spacing follows the standards for an industrial area. For this classification of a street the spacing would be at intersections only. In fact there are two existing street lights on 5th Street, one at Milliken Avenue the other at Pittsburgh Avenue with a total distance of 550 feet between the two. Pomona First Federal recently occupied the building. The building was approved with the original approval of the Bixby Business Park Master Plan in lg86. The building directly to the east was also part of the original approval and is currently occupied by $TE. The other parcels on the south side of 5th Street are State Farm and the California Highway Patrol. None of these uses generated the need for additional street 1 tghts. NIALYSlS: MDR 94-03 was conditionally approved by the City ~anner on March 1, 1994. The Engineering Division condition to instil a street light on 5th Street was based upon the possible increased night use in an industrial area. The applicant has stated the primary use of the ATM is during the day by the local workers. They feel minimal use of the ATM at night will Occur.

The cost of providing a public street light is prohibitive relative to the size of this project. According to Southern California Edison, there is no existing conduit run available along 5th Street that will accommodate a new street light. Edison says a new street light at the Engineering Department's requested location would need to be connected to th' nearest axisting transformer which is located on our site over 230 feet sway. This would require trenching, backfilling, repaving and repair along the entire distance at our expense. We would also have to pay Edison their cabling cherries. In addition, the city will require either a cash deposit or bond security for the work to be done, and approval of the city security agreements will necessitate a city council hearing. The necessary coordination we would need to do with the city and with Southern California Edison for work to be done in the public right*of-way will surely add further costs and the delays to what we feel is a very simple project. The primary users of this new automated teller machine will be those people who currently work in the immediate area during regular business hours. The number of people using the ATM at night-time is expected to be minimal. The resulting increase in traffic along 5th Street will be negligible. Therefore, we feel installing a new street light is not necessary. Existing on-site lighting levels are adequate, and new wall mounted light fixtures were added as part of our recent improvements. In addition, lighting levels within 50 feet of the ATM will be even greater as required by State Assembly Bill 244. For these reasons, we ask that the condition for the new street light installation be removed.

David Barker, Chairman ATTEST: Brad Bullet, Secretary I, Brad Bullet, Secretary of the Planning Commission of the City of Rancho Cucamonga, do hereby certify that the foregoing Resolution was duly and regularly introduced, passed, and adopted by the Planning Cc~mnission of the City of Rancho Cucamonga, at a regular meeting of the Planning Commission held on the 13th day of April 1994, by the following vote-to-wit= COMMISSIONERS: NOES :: COMMISSIONERS: ABSENT: COMMISSIONERS: DATE: TO: FROM: BY: SUBJE(.~.- CITY OF RANCHO CUCAMONGA STAFF REPORT April 13, 1994 Chairman and Members of the Planning Co~nission Brad Bullet, City Planner Richard L. Alcorn, Code Enforcement Supervisor REVIEW OF OFF-SITE HANDHELD ADVERTISING - CITATION HOMES REQUESTED BY BACKGROUND: AS a result of information received from the public, and independent observations by Code Enforcement Staff, it was determined that the Citation Homes subdivision "Country Estates" (Tract 13063) was using off-site advertising signs in non-compliance with the City Sign Ordinance. "Country Estates" is located on the east side of East Avenue, south of Highland Avenue. Persons holding signs were observed at various locations along City streets, on public property, advertising and directing customers to the subdivision. This off-site advertising activity constituted a violation of the Sign Ordinance S~ction of the Rancho Cucamonga Municipal Code, specifically Section 14.16.020 - Prohibited Signs: off-site signs, portable signs., and signs within the public right-of-way. The first contact regarding this matter came on Wednesday, February 23, 1994, by Code Enforcement Officer Mary Burgan. In telephone conversations with Shivon, an on-site sales office representative, and Tracy Friedman, Citation Homes Marketing Department, Officer Burgan explained City Sign Regulations and requested that the off-site advertising activity be discontinued. Officer Burgan felt confident from the response by Ms. Friedman that Citation Homes would voluntarily comply. An inspection conducted o~ Saturday, February 26, 1994, found the off-site advertising activity was continuing; however, no contact was made at the time of the in6pection. On T~esday, March l, 1994, contact was made with a sales agent at the "Country Estates' sales office by Code Enforcement Supervisor Richard Alcorn. The sales agent, Shivon, confirmed that the off-sAte advertising activity had occurred the previous weekend. Shivon was informed by Richard Alcorn that another telephone call would be made to Tracy Friedman at Citation Homes to resolve this issue. She was also informed that continued violation would jeopardize the temporary permits allowing the operation of the on-site sales office and ~isplay of on-site subdivision signs. In a telephone conversation on Wednesday, March 2, 1994, Jerry Linton, Citation Homes Land Acq%lisition Manager, and Richard Alcorn discussed the issue of off-site advertising. Richard Alcorn again explained that the signs used were considered portable off-site advertising signs, and that their use was prohibited. Mr. Linton disagreed with the City's position that the signs held by persons were illegal, and wanted a chance to discuss this matter with ITEM F PLANNING CO~ISSION STAFF REPORT Off-Site Advertising - Citation Homes April 13, 1994 Page 2 either the Planning Con, lesion or City Council. Since no resolution coul~ be agreed upon, including discontinuing the illegal activity, a Planning Division Correction Notice was issue~ at the sales office later that day, ~ocumenting the violations that had occurred and warning of legal action upon continued violation. On Saturday, ~vch 5, 1994, an inspection was conducte~ and foun~ no off-site advertising activity. O~ Monday, March 7, 1994, a letter was received from Mr. Linton formally objecting to the City~s interpretation of the Sign Ordinance, claiming the right to a hearing prior to compliance, and requesting that this matter be reviewed by the Planning Con, lesion if no staff level resolution could be obtained. In subsequent telephone conversations involving Mr. Linton a~d the City Planner, it was determined that staff could not support the position of Citation Homes, and the matter was schedule~ for Planning Comission consideration. ANALYSIS= There are essentially two issues raised by Citation Homes with regard to the use of their "directional aids~ (signs) an~ applicable City Requlations~ (1) That the "directional aids" are not signs and are therefore not regulated by the Sign Ordinance~ and (2) If the "directional aide" are signs, Citation Homes has the right to an abatement hearing prior to any enforcement action that woul~ require in~nediate compliance. Ae "Directional Aidsm are Signs. The initial contention that "~irectional aide" and arrows are not signs is contrary to the definition of a sign containe~ in the Sign Ordinance. To paraphrase the Sign Ordinance, a sign must possess all of the following characteristics= (1) any surface, (2) of any material, (3) with any illustrative or graphic display, (4) made visible for the ~urpose of calling attention, (5) to any person or activity, (6) in any location. The "directional aid" used by Citation Homes, consisting of a flat wooden arrow with the worde "Country Estates," ~isplayed so as to draw the attention of passing traffic for a subdivision sales office, in the City of Rancho Cucamonga, would appear to meet the ~efinition of a sign. Off-site advertising signs have been identifie~ in the Sign Ordinance Section 14.16.020 as a prohibited type of sign. The only type of off-site signage that is permitted is an off-site subdivision directional sign as administered by the Building Industry Association (BIA) kiosk program. The purpose of the BIA program is specifically intended to eliminate all other forms of 'bootleg' off-site subdivision directional signs. The lmlrpose of the signs use~ by Citation Homes, by their own ~escription and staff observation, is clearly intended to ~ireot customers to the subdivision sales office from off-site locations. Such use of a sign easily fits the definition of an off-site sign (~CMC Section 14.08.230), or an illegal off-site subdivision sign (I~/~C Section 14.08.240) -- illegal due to the lack of an approved sign permit and by virtue of the sign design.) PLANNING CO~ISSION STAFF REPORT Off-Site Advertising - Citation Homes April 13, 1994 Page 3 Abatement Hearing Not Required. The regulations contained in Sign Or~inance Section 14.16.040E regarding abatement of signs located within the p~blic right-of-way are not applicable to this situation. The p~rpose of abatement proceedings is to provide a metho~ of due process for an individual, prior to the City taking or altering their property for the purpose of abating a public nuisance. The use of abatement procedures is not required, is not a prerequisite, nor does it preclude the enforcement of sign regulations through the criminal courts. In addition, although Section 14.16. 040E does not speak specifically about ~ermanent construction, a reasonable person would conclude that an illegal portable sign capable of being i-~e~iately relocated, should not be allowed to remain in the right-of-way pending the disposition of the abatement process. In this situation, enforcement action was directed at the use of illegal off-site advertising signs by Citation Homes. The abatement process was never initiated because physical removal of the signs from the right-of- way was not the enforcement objective. The purpose of enforcement contac~ was to have Citation Ho~es voluntarily discontinue the use of the signs. Continued violation wo~ld result in court appearance citations issued to Citation Homes and the individuals in possession of the signs. Once cited, the in~ividuals possessing the signs would discontinue the activity, which also removes the signs, and therefore requires no abatement action. CONCLUSION: The a~vertising activity conducted by Citation Homes involved the use of ~irectional signs a~vertising the D~me of the subdivision, and ~irectional arrows to route traffic to the subdivision. The signs were held by persons, or placed next to them on the ground, at major intersections lea~ing to the subdivision, and on streets outsi~e of other housing s~bdivisions within the City. The Sign Ordinance clearly prohibits the use of off-site a~vertising and portable signs, and restricts the use of off-site sub~ivision signs only to those ins~alled through the Building Industry Association (BIA) on approved kiosks. The signs used by Citation Hemes are no ~ifferent in purpose than any other off-site ~ubdivision sign or temporary a~vertising sign, and should be subject to the same regulations. The use of persous to ~raw the attention of passing traffic to a business operation is a legal end accepted form of a~vertising within the City. These persons, however, must be located upon the site of the business operation for which they are a~vertising, and any sign used in conjunction with this activity must comply with the Sign Ordinance. The use of persons for off-site . a~vertising to promote a business operation is typically unsuccessful without the use of signs to identify or direct customers to that business. PLANNING COF~4ISSION STAFF REPORT Off-Site Advertising - Citation Homes April 13, 1994 Page 4 RECOMMENDATION= It is the reco~nendation of staff that the Planning Co-~%ssion support the interpretation that the "directional aids" used by Citation Homes are off-site advertising signs, and are therefore prohibited by the Sign Ordinance.

Box 807 Rancho Cucamonga, Ca. 91729 Re: Sign Ordinance Enforcement Dear Mr. Buller: We discussed recently the issue of our hiring individuals on the weekends to stand at various locations near our "Country Estates" development in Eftwanda for the purpose of encouraging people to visit our sales office. Our sales office was visited yesterday by your code enforcement office who threatened to shut down our sales operation if we utilize our directional aides again. Today, we were served with a correction notice. I have reviewed your sign ordinance, and section 14.16.040 appears to offer us a hearing at the planning commission to contest the correction notice prior to the City issuing any '~ourt Appearance Citation" as described in the 3/2.J94 correction notice. We feel quite strongly that these directional aides, while not in conflict with your ordinance, are essential to the continuing economic viability of our home sales program. Since we started this program four weeks ago, the volume of visitors to our sales office has increased 66%. This has had, not surprisingly, a correspondent increase in our sales. These directional aids cannot be viewed as "portable sig. ns" as there is no temporary or permanent attachment to a structure proposed nor ~s our usage consistent with the definition of "sign" in 14.08.330. We are not "placing" a sign as defined. What we have, is a nicely dressed, clean-cut person holding a directional arrow designed to assist potential homebuyers in finding our tract. There is no abnormal appearance or activity associated with the persons involved. They stay off private property and clearly pose no hazard to pedestrians or vehicular traffic. They are "on-duty' approximately seven hours on Saturday and Sunday. They leave no potential litter. These are extraordinary economic times, and essentially builders are doing their best to survive while still offering a quality and competitively priced product. Clearly, the intent of our actions is not to blatantly install non-permitted signs or even put up temporary signs for the weekend, but rather use an innovative and non-intrusive successful marketing technique. 15101 Redhill ~/enue, Suite 100, TUstln, CA 92680 0'14) 258-1300, FAX (714) 258-1415 March 1, 1994 Page 2 We ask your favorable consideration in withdrawing the City's correction notice, or failing that, grant us a hearing on this matter at the Planning Commission.

For comparison included is last year's Executive Summary showing those projects budgeted for the current fiscal year. The summary outlines the capital projects, the funded activity, the budgeted amount for each project, and the funding source(s). The projects are categorized by the funded activity of each prq]ect. Those activities being: Design .............................................These projects generally have their initial funding in this year. The majority of the design of these projects will occur during this year. Complete Design .............................Funding for design usually occurred in the previous year. These projects are of such a priority that as soon as funds become available, whether through the normal accumulation of typical funding sources or through special grants, these projects will be ready to construct. Design & Construction ...................These projects will be designed and constructed, either in their entirety or the initial portions of the project, within the fiscal. Construction ...................................Design is complete or construction was commenced in a previous year for these projects. C, onstruction Administration ....... This funding can also be considered as "clean-up" work on a project. The construction has been completed, or funding for construction occurred in the previous year, and only funds for work such as soil testing, survey work, or special inspection is required. Reimbursements .............................These are programs for which developers.who have agreements with the City, will be reimbursed for their costs associated with the construction of City master planned facilities. Right~of-Way Acquisition .............. This funds only the acquisition of right-of-way. Usually design is complete and construction (which is programmed for funding in a subsequent year) can not commence until this activity is completed. Study ...............................................These are special studies which are usually not directly related to a construction project. ITEM G ALso included is a breakdown of the funding sources and the percent allocation to the capital budget with a similar breakdown by project activity and project type and an exhibit identifying capital project locations. Lastly, I've included a copy of Engineering's 7-year Capital Improvement Program (CIP). This CIP is a listing of all types of public works projects and does not consider actual or projected annual revenue streams for the funding sources. One consequence of the reduction of development within the City is a corresponding decline in the smount of development fees which the City takes in. Transportation, General City Drainage and Etiwanda Drainage Fees have in the past been used to fund Engineering's capital projects. These fees have declined to a fraction of what was being received during the mid '80's. However, to help offset this reduction is an increase in gas t~x revenues resulting from the passage of State Proposition 111. In addition, the County's Measure I is a major source of funds for the improvement of Haven Avenue north of Foothill Boulevard and Milliken Avenue between Arrow Route and Foothill Boulevard. A second reduction to the City's capital funding sources is to the Clty's Transportation Development Act (TDA} Article 8 allocation. This fund has primarily been used to fund new signal installation. Over the past few years it has been cut significantly due to the Omnitrans/Cities funding agreement. This agreement permits Omnitrans to appropriate TDA Article 8 money as needed with the remainder being allocated to the Cities. Omnifrans has been replacing older buses in addition to purchasing new buses to accommodate its expansion policies. While we do not anticipate any revenue from this source in this, or subsequent years, the City is carrying over from prior years a rretained fund balance of TDA Article 8 monies which will go towards the installation of traffic signals in various locations throughout the City.

CITY OF RANCHO CUCAMONGA STAFF REPORT DATE: TO: FROM: BY: SUBJECT April 13, 1994 Chairman and Members of the Planning Commission Brad Bullet, City Planner Dan Coleman, Principal Planner STREAMLINING TRE PLANNING PROCESS Since incorporation, the City has striven to refine and improve the planning process. Permitting procedures should be periodically reviewed and u~dated to keep them in good running order. The process should be as simple to administer, and as economical in its use of time, effort, and money, as possible - both for the applicant and the City. However, pursuing efficiency cannot be allowed to compromise the valid public purpose for which the Development Review process was created. Like- wise, efficiency must not be achieved at the expense of effectiveness, fairness, and procedural due process. In previous discussions, the Commission identified the following objectives for streamlining the planning process: OBJECTIVES: To simplify the process without compromising the quality of development. To create greater efficiency in the process to allow the Commission to focus on broader policy issues rather than details. * To maintain a process that is timely, fair, and thorough. PROPOSED CHANGES: In concept, the following changes are reconwended to streamline the planning process: Deleaate areater permit approval authoritv to City Planner. In order to free-up Planning Commission time to focus on broader issues, many of the items that appear on its agendas could be handled by staff instead. specifically, non- construction conditional use permits (CUPs), time extensions, and emaller development/design review projects could be subject to City Planner review and approval. This is a common practice in many cities and counties. All other permit entitlements would continue to be processed as usual (see Exhibit ITEM H PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT STREAMLINING THE PLANNINQ PROCESS April 13, 1994 Page 2 Amend zonino reaulations reoardina conditionaliv permitted uses. Both the Development Code and Industrial Area Specific Plan are at least ten years old. Experience has shown that many uses should not need a CUp process. By making more uses pe~mitted by right, rather than conditionally pe~laitted, the process can be expedited by eliminating the lengthy public hearing process. For example, 93 percent of CUP requests do not involve construction~ hence, they have not been controversial. Shorten the review process. The Development Review process can be shortened for public hearing items (i.e., subdivision, CUPs) by reducing the period for Technical/Grading/Design Committee review of plans, and prescheduling items for hearing (see Exhibit #B"). City Planner approvals, which do not require Commission review, are significantly expedited. Shortening the time frames for review may result in some technical issues being conditioned for resolution during the plan check process. RECOMMENDATION= Staff recommends that the Planning Commission initiate the necessary Code Amendments by directing staff to prepare the necessary ordinances for your review on an upcoming agenda.

Included in this amendment is an expansion of the definition of a legislative body to include "standing committees...which have a continuing subject matter jurisdiction or a meeting schedule..." Because of this expanded definition, some of the Planning Commission Committees will be considered legislative bodies which subjects them to enhanced noticing and reporting requirements. ANALYSIS: Staff has prepared a Planning Commission Committee Summary sheet (attached hereto as Exhibit "A") in order for the Commission to evaluate the number and types of co~nitteee in which the Commission currently participates. After each committee, staff has provided a short analysis of how the committee was formed and its current status. The City Attorney has advised that, in the future, when establishing new committees, it is highly important to avoid unnecessary situations which create a standing committee. Such situations could be alleviated be removing as many ambiguities as possible. A good way to alleviate such situations is to establish a program that requires the development of a mission statement, by a formal action (staff report, resolution, etc.), that would fully set forth the goals and purposes of the committee, a schedule of anticipated tasks and actions, and the identification of a time deadline to report back to the main body and thereby identify a termination or conclusion of the committee's tasks. RECOMMENDATION: It is clearly evident that the amendments to the Brown Act will require a substantial amount of additional staff work in terms of agendas, preparation, posting, and noticing. Therefore, careful consideration of the manner in which we establish standing committees is highly important. Respmctfully submitted, Brad Bullet City Planner BB:LJH:sp Attechmente: Exhibit 'A" - Planning Commission Committees Smmaar~ ITEM J PLANNING COI~4ISSION COMMITTEES SUMMARY THE FOLLOWING COMMITTEES MEET AT REGULARLY SCHEDULED TIMES: Larry McNiel John Melcher Peter Tolstoy (1st Alternate) Heinz Lumpp (2nd Alternate) David Barker (3rd Alternate) This Committee has been established under section 17.06.010 of the City Development Code. The Committee's purpose is to ensure that Development projects comply with all applicable local design guidelines, standards and the ordinances; to minimize adverse effect on surrounding properties end the environment; and are consistent with the General Plan which promotes high aesthetic and functional standards to complement and add to the physical, economic, and social character or Rancho Cucamonga. The Committee is comprised of two Commissioners and the City Planner and meets regularly on Tuesdays of the week preceding each Planning Commission meeting. ~DVZSORY COMMZTTEE: Peter Tolstoy to 7/27/95 David Barker to 7/27/94 Heinz Lumpp to 7/27/95 (Alternate) The general purpose of the Committee is to assist the Planning Co~mission in implementing the trails system as envisioned by the City's General Plan. The Co~mittee meets on the third Wednesday of each month and includes two members of the Park and Recreation Coo~aission and two co~munity members. THE FOLLOWING COMMITTEES MEET ON AN AS-NEBDED BASIS: ROUT~ 30 C~,IOI]TTBB= John Melcher Peter Tolstoy Heinz Lumpp (Alternate) This coo~lttee was set up in September 1991 when the City Council directed the Public Works subcommittee of the City Council to represent the City in the fobatica discussions of a Joint Powers Agreement (JPA) for Route 30. The Planning Commission was invited to attend the meetings on Route 30 and have es over the last year. Meetings and agendas on Route 30 are set by the City Council subcoo~nittee. 4. COMMeRCiaL SIONTASK FORCE= Larry McNlel '. Peter Tolstoy David Barker (Alternate) This c~.=;.£ttee was set up in October 1993 at the direction of the City Council to review the Sign Ordinance. The committee has worked with staff, the chamber, and other community members, and will likely bring back a proposed amendment for C6mmission consideration within the nex~ few months. Planning Commission Committees Summary --2-- DEVELOPMENT REVIEW PROCESSING COMMITTEE: Larry McNlel David Barker (Alternate) John Melcher This committee was set up by the City Council in January 1991 to review the Development Review Process. Two members of the Planning Commission were selected to work with the Council. Since the development of the Pt.-Application process, this committee has not met with the City Council except to discuss the success of the new process and to keep the doors open to potential new changes. EXV-v-SXDE DB%~OPMENT STANDARDS COMMITTEE= Heinz Lumpp David Barker (Alternate) Peter Tolstoy After the adoption of the City Hillside Development Ordinance, the Planning Commission formed a cow~ittee in July 1992 to evaluate the effectiveness of the Ordinance. The Committee was intended to examine implementation details and recommend changes to maximize effectiveness. The committee's recommendations have been presented to the Commission and an amendment to the Hillside Development Ordinance was added to the work program. The committee does not meet on a regular basis. PRESERVATION O~DXNANCE COJO4X~A'EE: Peter Tolstoy John Melcher Formed by the City Council in October 1990, to review the existing Tree Preservation Ordinance; i.e., its effectiveness, problems, and need for modification. The Committee was designed to offer a balanced perspective with two members from each Commission (Environmental Management Commission, Planning Commission, Public Safety Commission, Park and Recreation Commission, and Historic Preservation Commission). The initial overall direction was to strengthen the ordinance in regard to tree removals on public property and improve ways to ensure continued maintenance of existing and replacement of tree plantings, reconsider the definition of "Heritage Trees' and approval for preservation of Eucalyptus windrows, especially Blue The Committee did not have a regular meeting schedule and met only three times over the last three years. The Committee last met on August 3, 1992. With the elimination of two Commissions, the consolidation of two others, and the change in Commission membership in the remaining two, only three of the original ten Commissioners are still participating. The c~tttee has not met since August 1992, and issues related to trees or tree preservation have been addressed separately. Unless directed otherwise, the tree issues will continue to be addressed under the current Tree Preservation Ordinance.
