NO. 94-02 TO CONSTRUCT A 6-FOOT HIGH SOLID FENCE WITHIN
THE REQUIRED FRONT YARD SETBACK OF AN EXISTING SINGLE
FAMILY RESIDENTIAL PARCEL IN THE VERY LOW RESIDENTIAL
DISTRICT (LESS THAN 2 DWELLING UNITS PER ACRE), LOCATED
AT 5333 HERMOSA AVENUE, AND MAKING FINDINGS IN SUPPORT
THEREOF - APN: 1074-231-08.
A. Recitals.
1. Jaime and Donnasue Ortiz have filed an application for the
issuance of Variance No. 94-02 as described in the title of this Resolution.
Hereinafter in this Resolution, the subject Variance request is referred to as
"the application."
2. On the 27th day of April 1994, the Planning Commission of the
City of Rancho Cucamonga conducted a duly noticed public hearing on the
application and concluded said hearing on that date.
3. All legal prerequisites prior to the adoption of this Resolution
have occurred.
B. Resolution.
NOW, THEREFORE, it is hereby found, determined, and resolved by the
Planning Commission of the City of Rancho Cucamonga as follows:
1. This Commission hereby specifically finds that all of the facts
set forth in the Recitals, Part A, of this Resolution are true and correct.
2. Based upon substantial evidence presented to this Commission
during the above-referenced public hearing on April 27, 1994, including
written and oral staff reports, together with public testimony, this
Commission hereby specifically finds as follows:
a. The application applies to property located at 5333 Hermosa
Avenue with street frontages of 185 feet along Hermosa Avenue and lot depth of
106 feet along Vista Grove Street and is presently improved with a single
family residence; and
b. The property to the north, south, and east of the subject
site is zoned for residential uses and is developed with single family homes
and the property to the west is zoned for residential uses and is vacant; and
c. The Development Code identifies the front of a corner lot as
the shorter of the two street frontages. Vista Grove Street, with the 106-
foot frontage, is the front of the lot and Hermosa Avenue, with the 185-foot
frontage, is the corner side yard; and

d. The Development Code allows for the installation of 6-foot
high fences within the required front yard setback provided such fences are
constructed with at least 90 percent of the top 3 feet of their vertical
surface open and non-viewing obscuring; and
e. When the residence was constructed in the 1950's, the house
was designed to face Hermosa Avenue. At the time of the house construction,
Vista Grove Street did not exist and the front of the parcel was along Hermosa
Avenue. The north property line was an interior side yard and did not have
street frontage; and

The subject property was
g. The developer of Tentative Tract 13644, as a condition of
approval, dedicated and constructed Vista Grove Street. With the construction
of the street, the subject parcel was changed from an interior lot to a corner
lot. The access to and orientation of the house, however, remained off of
Hermosa Avenue; and
h. The site is unique compared to other properties in the
vicinity and under similar zoning designations. The orientation of the house
towards Hermosa Avenue results in the rear of the house being set back 15 feet
from the property line. The primary private open space areas are to the sides
of the house rather than the rear of the house; and
i. If the front of the parcel was along Hermosa Avenue, a corner
side yard fence could be constructed on the property line, consistent with the
application.
3. Based upon the substantial evidence presented to this Commission
during the above-referenced public hearing and upon the specific findings of
facts set forth in paragraphs I and 2 above, this Commission hereby finds and
concludes as follows=
a. That strict or literal interpretation and enforcement of the
specified regulations would result in practical difficulty or unnecessary
physical hardship inconsistent with the objectives of the Development Code.
b. That there are exceptional or extraordinary circumstances or
conditions applicable to the property involved or to the intended use of the
property that do not apply generally to other properties in the same district.
c. That strict or literal interpretation and enforcement of the
specified regulation would deprive the applicant of privileges enjoyed by the
owners of other properties in the same district.

of apecial privilege inconsistent with the limitations on other properties
classified in the same district.
e. That the granting of the Variance will not be detrimental to
the public health, safety, or welfare or materially injurious to properties or
improvements in the vicinity.
4. Based upon the findings and conclusions set forth in
paragraphs 1, 2, and 3 above, this Commission hereby approves the application.

Response to issues related to the proposed rezoning of the
Spruce/Foothill Parcel in Rancho Cucamonga, California
This memorandum has been prepared by Realty Development Research, Inc.
(RDR), in response to the April 23, 1994, letter submitted by Urban Research
Associates (URA) to the City of Rancho Cucamonga Planning Division regarding
the proposed rezoning of the subject Terra Vista parcel at Spruce and Foothill.
The purpose of this document is to provide additional information on two key
variables -- Department Store Type Merchandise (DSTM) expenditure potential
and future trade area population -- used in RDR's analysis to measure the level of
local market support for new retail space. This memorandum also reexamines
the demand for additional retail space using DSTM expenditure levels suggested
by URA.
DSTM expenditure potential. As discussed in the introductory section of
RDR's November, 1993, study entitled "Market Support for New Retail Space
and Commercially Zoned Acreage," stores in the DSTM category normally
occupy the majority of space in shopping centers of the kind under consideration.
DSTM is defined as the range of goods no.nally sold in full-line department
stores (both conventional and discount). It includes the following merchandise
lines: apparel and accessories; home furnishings and appliances (including
electronic equipment); as well as various specialty items like jewelry, books,
stationery, cards, gifts, sporting goods, luggage, cameras, toys, hobby items, and
the like. DSTM, a concept that is standard in the retail industry, is also termed
shopping goods or GAFO (for stores car~ing general merchandise,
apparel/accessories, furniture, and other miscellaneous shopping goods) in U.S.
Department of Commerce publications.
It is important to note that URA apparently did not include most of the other
miscellaneous shopping goods category in their DSTM calculations.
Accordingly, URA's DSTM expenditure figures as a percentage of per capita
income are naturally lower than RDR's figures. For example, the U.S. Bureau of
Labor Statistics (BLS) survey figure of 9.4% of per capita income that URA cites
(which is compared by URA to RDR's 13.8% figure) appears to include only
potential spending for apparel, home furnishings, home appliances, and electronic
equipment. With the inclusion of the remaining shopping goods categories, the
j~realty
development research, inc.
Western Land Properties
Page 2 May 10, 1994
BLS survey figure is in the neighborhood of a considerably higher 12.0%.
It should be recognized, however, that the BLS survey information uses
expenditure categories that are not truly compatible with U.S. Census of Retail
Trade tabulations either by merchandise line or store type. The BLS expenditure
categories mix goods and services and do not cover the full spectrum of DSTM
buying. The definition of income used by the BLS is also somewhat different
from that used by the Census Bureau. Thus, while the BLS data has some
usefulness in the development of information regarding broad national spending
patterns, local sales data is needed for market sensitive perspective. The U.S.
Census of Retail Trade provides the most consistently reliable data base for retail
sales of geographic units from states down to smaller towns. Further, census
information is also more reliable than sales tax collection data. While sales tax
collections offer a more recent data base than information for the most recently
published retail census year (1987), RDR's experience with these data in many
areas indicates that it is not comparable to the census information for a number of
reasons: (I) undercounting due to non-reporting by merchants; (2) late reporting
by merchants; (3) mistakes in attributing the taxable sales of large chains to
specific geographic units; and (4) misallocation of businesses to the major store
categories. At the same time, since DSTM items are typically taxable in most
states, this issue is not especially relevant as it is, in contrast, to food and drug
store sales.
In order to corroborate RDR's percentage of per capita income spent on DSTM,
an analysis was undertaken of the San Bemadino County example provided by
URA in its Exhibit 3. Based on the actual San Bernadino County DSTM sales
figure of $1.9 billion (URA's Exhibit 3 showing the 1987 Census of Retail Trade
information revised to correctly include the DSTM portion of the miscellaneous
shopping goods category) and using DSTM potential calculated from the
reported 1987 population and per capita income figures contained in the Census
Bureau's Series P-26 reports, residents of San Bernadino County spent
approximately 14.5% of their income on DSTM purchases in that year. This
percentage is higher than the RDR expenditure figure used in the November,
1993, study.
It should be noted that RDR's percentage of per capita income expended on
DSTM was actually derived from a composite of western states defined as the
Western Region by the Census Bureau. The 13.4% derived from this analysis
was adjusted upward slightly to 13.8% to account for the greater trade area
propensity to spend on DSTM items o- especially on home related merchandise --
due to the Rancho Cucamonga area's ongoing residential development.

Trade area population. The populations shown in RDR's November, 1993,
report for both the Primary and Secondary trade area zones were based on 1990
U.S. Census census tract-level figures and census tract forecasts for 2000 and
2010 published by the Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG)
in November of1993. These forecasts, although preliminary in November, 1993,
had already been through several levels of review and were lower than the census
tract level forecasts that had been initially calculated. SCAG staff report that the
final census tract level forecasts are now ready for publication. While RDR has
not had an opportunity to obtain and examine these forecasts in a detailed
manner, SCAG staff believe that the final forecasts are probably 1%-2% higher
than the preliminary figures for the portions of the region included in the Rancho
Cucamonga trade area.
Supportable DSTM space using URA's lower expenditure level. While
RDR's analysis of market demand is very supportive of the need for additional
space designated for DSTM facilities, our assessment of the URA evaluation
indicates that it is also supportive of the need for additional space of this type.
This need is evident despite the lower levels of expenditure potential used by
URA. In a sense, URA has provided an "acid test" evaluation of demand with
their methodology.
RDR has recalculated the level of DSTM sales potential based on LIRA's
BLS-derived expenditure percentage of 9.4%. This lower expenditure level
correspondingly lowers the supportable DSTM sales totals and DSTM square
footage figures to $301.3 million/1.2 square feet in 1992, $348.3 million/1.4
million square feet in 1995, $409.4 million/1.6 million square feet in 2000, and
$567.6 million/2.3 million square feet in 2010. However, even with the lower
URA expenditure figures included in this version of the analysis, the findings
indicate that need for additional DSTM square footage in the near term.
URA estimates (shown in Exhibit 1) that there are about 700,000 square feet of
major general merchandise, apparel/accessories, and home furnishings/appliances
operators currently located in Rancho Cucamonga. URA's inventory includes the
Wal-Mart and Price Club stores in Foothill Marketplace but excludes the
additional DSTM space (about 30,000 square feet) resulting from the relocation
of the Kmart store into a larger unit. Since about half the 111,000 square foot
Price Club store is taken up with such non-DSTM items as groceries and drug
store items, this omission does not significantly impact the overall answer.
Adding in something on the order of 100,000 square feet of DSTM small stores
that URA omits from their inventory, 800,000 square feet of DSTM are currently
operative in Rancho Cucamonga.
realty development research, inc.
Western Land Properties
Page 4 May10,1994
When this existing 800,000 square feet is compared to the amount of space
warranted in the Primary zone alone, demand for an additional 600,000 to
800,000 square feet of DSTM uses is indicated. This would allow for the
development of the proposed retail property (approximately 225,000 square feet
with three to four anchor stores) as well as Phase 1 of the planned Victoria
Gardena regional mall complex (which at buildout will total about 1.2 million
square feet including three to four department stores).
This above re-analysis of supportable DSTM square footage does not include any
additional surcharge from the spending of persons living in the Secondary trade
area zone. Factoring in a percentage of sales inflow from the Secondary zone
will further increase the near-term level of DSTM demand by something on the
order of 400,000 to 600,000 square feet, assuming URA's lower level of DSTM
expenditure.
Moreover, as discussed in the conclusion statements in both the RDR and URA
documents, there are several other factors which enhance the near-term level of
market support for the proposed new retail development and rezoned acreage in
Rancho Cucamonga. Most notably, the area is currently significantly understored
in those very key DSTM uses targeted as tenants in the proposed retail
development. The parcel being considered also offers the needed amount of
available land at a regionally accessible location for the future development of a
retail facility of the subject type.

Dear ~4r, Buller,
I am writing this totter to inform you that Best Buy Co., Inc. has entered into a binding letter of intent to
locate a new 58,500 square foot store within the above captioned proposed project being doveroped by
Western Land ProDeRies.
For your general information I have a:tached a Fact Sheet which details some of the key statistics regardinit
our stores. We currently operas. 1.52 stores nationwide, and do in excess of three billion dollars in sates
annually.
After careful review of potential available locations within the City of Rancho Cucamonga, we came to the
conclusion that the subject location was the only location within the city which met our requirements.
This was due to the proximity of the successful Terra Vista Town Center project, the tie in with the Terra
Vista master planned community, and the easy accessibility to the offices to the south via Haven Avenue.
Our planned store will be one the first new 58,500 square foot prototype nationwide, and our required
openin8 date of November 11, 1994 is designed to dovetail with our initial entry into the Southern
California marketplace, as we will be opening numerous stores throughout Southern California on that
date.
We look forward to working with Western Land Properties, and you and your staff in the months ahead,
and expect great things from our proposed Rancho Cucamonga location. .
If you have any questions please call me.

ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT AND GENERAL PLAN AMENDMENT 94-01A -
WESTERN LAND PROPERTIES - A proposal to amend the General Plan Land
Use Element Map to change the land use designation from Office to
Community Co~ercial for 25 acres bounded by Foothill Boulevard on
the south, Spruce Avenue on the west, Church Street on the north,
and Elm Avenue on the east - APN: 1077-421-58 and 63. Related
File: Terra Vista Community Plan Amendment 94-01.
PROJECT AND SITE DESCRIPTION:
Surrounding Land Use and Zoning:
North - Terra Vista Planned Community (TVPC) Medium Residential (4-14
dwelling units per acre) and Parks; vacant and planned La
Mission Park site
South - Industrial Area Specific Plan, Subarea 7; vacant and hotel
East - TVPC; Mixed-Use Financial, Restaurants, Residential; vacant
West - TVPC Co~mercial and High Residential (24-30 dwelling units per
acre); Terra Vista Town Center and vacant
General Plan Designations:
Project Site - Office/Park
North - High Residential (24-30 dwelling units per acre) and Medium-High
Residential (14-24 dwelling units per acre)
South - Industrial Park
East - Office and Commercial
West - Office and Co,unity Commercial
Site Characteristics: The site is vacant but was used as a vineyard in
the past. The ground slopes 3 percent from north to south with a large
portion of this grade change occurring at the north end of the property
adjacent to Church Street. There is no mature vegetation on the property
nor any existing structures. The surrounding streets are improved with
the exception of Elm Street to the east. The view corridors are the
mountains on the north and the valley as it spreads out to the south,
east, and west.
ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT: Staff has reviewed the Initial Study, Part I, and
completed the Environmental Checklist, Part II of the Initial Study, and has
found no significant adverse environmental impacts to occur as a result of the
ITEM B

GPA 94-01A - WESTERN LAND PROPERTIES

proposed General Plan Amendment and accompanying Community Plan Amendment.
Potential impacts, determined not to be significant, include the following:
Air Quality: The change in land use is expected to increase the air
emissions (from vehicle trips) due to development of the site for retail
commercial purposes above that expected from an office project. Staff
completed an air emissions inventory comparing anticipated development
under both land use scenarios and found that the increased emissions are
below the threshold levels for significance as reco~ended by the South
Coast Air Quality Management District.
Traffic: The Engineering staff has noted potential access and interior
circulation issues related to the proposed shopping center design. The
peak traffic periods will shift from office to retail co~ercial
character. The proposed land use change will present some design
challenges given the four existing street frontages which make the site
more conducive to a free standing office building complex which can
utilize multiple driveway locations to distribute the parking demand. The
typical shopping center, with parking concentrated on one side, will
reduce the effectiveness of the driveways on at least one frontage
(rear). Future project design submittals should be required to analyze
traffic for local circulation to assure that demands on the surrounding
frontages, Spruce Avenue in particular, will not exceed what would have
occurred with an office park use. Site designs should make optimum use of
the existing signalized entry at the intersection of Spruce Avenue and
Town Center Drive. These concerns, while technical in nature, are
inherent to the predominate design issues with shopping centers. The
potential impacts could be considered significant, but should and can be
resolved at the Design Review level.
LAND USE ANALYSIS:
Appropriateness of the existing designation: The development along
Foothill Boulevard in this area has been a combination of retail
cora~ercial on the north side and office on the south side with one hotel
and specialty restaurant. The existing office designation is compatible
with the surrounding uses and designations, and is in compliance with the
community plan zoning of Office Park.
Need and appropriateness of retail comercial uses in the area and with
the specific site: With the surrounding office, retail, and related
commercial uses, the proposed land use is not out of character within the
general area. The proposed project is within the criteria established in
the General Plan which specifies the amount of gross leasable area within
a community commercial site as 100,000 to 300,000 square feet (200,000+
square feet proposed). The anticipated uses at this location are in
conformity with those listed in the Co--unity Commercial provisions.

The issues which may be of concern are 1) need for additional retail
commercial land in the area and City, and 2) the suitability of the
specific site for retail commercial activity. In response to staff's
inquiry on these issues, the applicant provided a market and economic
study, "Market Support for New Retail Space and Co~nercially Zoned Acreage
Rancho Cucamonga, California, November 1993" and Addendum, March 1994.
This report concluded "that the area's understoring in the uses targeted"
for this site "as well as the excellent locational positioning vis-a-vis
the more developed portions of Rancho Cucamonga and the 1-15 interchange
as especially strong arguments for rezoning." The report's "analysis
indicates that considerable retail demand will also ren%ain available to
other key cou~nercial developments in this inm%ediate vicinity." These
conclusions are largely based on analysis which depended significantly on
current aggregate sales leakage size and substantial expected population
growth by the year 2000.
An independent review of the above-referenced report, "Terra Vista
Com~nunity Plan - Proposed Rezone of Spruce/Foothill Parcel" was completed
by a City selected consultant (funded by the applicant). Some of the
significant points raised in the review of the report include:
Overly optimistic assumptions of future populations in the target
market areas in justification for increased retail co~ercial
acreage.
Overly optimistic anticipated levels of spending as a percentage of
per capita income for the target market areas in justification for
increased retail co~ercial acreage.
Operations of new large retailers, while generation and retaining
significant sales in the co~x~unity, have "brought about loss of
business at certain other local retail outlets."
The City does continue to suffer from net sales exports which can be
reduced in selected merchandise lines such as home furnishings and
appliances, electronic equipment, quality restaurants, and specialty
groups (toys, book, sporting goods, music). The consultant's belief
that valid rational exists for additional retail co~nercial sites
along Foothill Boulevard is based on an assessment of current
economic development needs in these merchandise lines.
Locationally, staff concurs with the applicant that the site is well
suited for the intended uses. The conclusions provided from the review of
the applicant's market analysis identifying specific merchandise needs in
the community combined with the site's suitability with the immediate area
does make a viable case for the amendment. The suggestion from the City's
consultant for a conm~itment to development of certain retail uses is not
i~m~ediately available, as land use approvals cannot be conditioned. Only
the enactment of a development agreement between the land owner and the
City can limit the wide range of uses authorized in a land use
designation.

Conformance with the General Plan and Co~nunity Plan: The existing office
designation is in compliance with the Community Plan zoning of Office
Park. If the Commission recommends amending the designation to the
requested Community Co~nercial, then it would be appropriate for the
Conm%ission to also favorably consider amending the Co~nunity Plan
designation (Terra Vista Community Plan Amendment 94-01) to the same
designation, Community Commercial. The Community Plan application, which
the Commission will be reviewing later in this meeting, contains policy
amendments which will make the proposed land use internally consistent
with the development standards of the plan.
FACTS FOR FINDINGS: Based on the facts and conclusions listed above, staff
believes the Planning Co~nission can make the following findings regarding
this application:
ae
The property is suitable for the uses permitted in the proposed land use
and development district designation in terms of access and size as
evidenced by the site's location on the City's primary co~nercial arterial
and is im~aediately adjacent to existing major community co~nercial
development.
Be
The proposed amendment would not have significant impacts on the
environment nor the surrounding properties as evidenced by the conclusions
and findings of the Initial Environmental Study which indicated that no
significant impacts would be expected as a result of this land use change.
The proposed amendment is in conformance with the General Plan and
Development Code due to the site's capacity to promote the goals and
objectives for community commercial development.
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.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the Planning Con~nission adopt the
attached Resolution, thereby reco~nending that the City Council issue a
Negative Declaration and approve General Plan Amendment No. 94-01A.

ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT AND TERRA VISTA COMMUNITY PLAN AMENDMENT
94-01 - WESTERN LAND PRDPERTIES - A request to amend the land use
designation for a 25 acre piece of vacant land from Office
Professional District to Community Co~ercial District bounded by
Foothill Boulevard on the south, Spruce Avenue on the west, Church
Street on the north, and Elm Avenue on the east - APN: 1077-421-58
and 63. Related File: General Plan Amendment 94-01A.
BACKGROUND: This amendment request is a result of the related General Plan
Amendment to change the land use for the above-described site from Office to
Commercial. In addition to the proposed land use change, the applicant is
requesting to modify various parts of the text and the graphics in the Design
Guidelines (Chapter IV) of the Co~m~unity Plan, that apply to this site. These
changes are needed to establish the identity and the character for the
development of the site in the future.
ANALYSIS: This section of the report describes the proposed changes to the
Community Plan followed by a brief coment or analysis from staff. The
proposed changes are as shown in the attached Exhibits "A" and "B." For
clarity, text changes are underlined while graphic changes are clouded.
Land Use Change: Modify the Land Use Plan, Figure III-17 (page III-23),
by changing the land use designation for the site bounded by Foothill
Boulevard, Church Street, Spruce and Elm Avenues from "OP" Office
Professional to "CC" Cobraunity Co~ercial. Modify the text and the
graphics in the Commercial Land Use section pages III-26 and III-27,
describing the intent and the arrangement of the co~ercial uses. Modify
the Land Use Su-~,ary, Table III-2 (page III-32), by changing the
distribution of the gross acreage by land use types. (Exhibits "A-l" to
"A-5").
Staff Comment and Analysis: The analysis of the proposed land use change
is in the separate General Plan Amendment (GPA 94-01A) staff report. If
the Commission decides to reco~end the proposed "Comercial" use for the
site to the City Council, then the appropriate zoning district of
"Co,unity Co~ercial District" should also be reco~ended, for
consistency purposes. The proposed text and graphics changes are
acceptable.

Be
Design Guidelines Changes: Chapter IV of the Commaunity Plan, Design
Guidelines, describes the identity of the different commercial centers
along Foothill Boulevard and sets the design flavor and character for each
one. The following su~arize the proposed changes to various parts of
the Foothill Boulevard Centers Concept section of the Design Guidelines as
they pertain to the site:
2e
Center Identity and Specific Uses. Change the use of the site from
"Corporate Park" to "Co~nercial Park" (page III-48) as shown in
Exhibit "B-2."
Staff Co~nent and Analysis: The proposed change is acceptable.
Access and Co~m~unity Gateways. Modify Figure IV-64 (page IV-49) by
adding a primary access point on Foothill Boulevard midpoint between
Spruce and Elm Avenues and adding a Type III Gateway at the
intersection of Foothill Boulevard and Elm Avenue, as shown in
Exhibit "B-3."
Staff Comment and Analysis: The proposed addition of a primary
access point shown by an arrow sy~l on Foothill Boulevard implies
an opening to the existing median island. An opening to the median
island at this location would require an amendment to the Circulation
Element of the General Plan. Since the applicant has indicated that
they are not requesting an opening in the median island, staff
recommends that the arrow symbol be deleted from Figure IV-64. The
addition of Type III Gateway is acceptable since the northwest corner
of Elm Avenue and Foothill Boulevard is a terminus for a greenway
trail.
Site Planning and Pedestrian Network. Modify the site planning and
pedestrian network design concept by describing the arrangement of
buildings, parking areas, and pedestrian walkway for the proposed
Co~nercial Park Center, as shown in Exhibit "B-4."
Staff Con~nent and Analysis: Because of the proposed co~ercial land
use, the site planning and pedestrian network is changed to be
similar to the concept of the existing Tow~ Center. Staff recommends
adding language to emphasize large open space with a defined
pedestrian spine that traverses the site from north to south. The
design of a development project at this site will have to create
centralized and large open spaces that will enhance the "window"
effect (i.e., views into the community and the mountains).
Landscape Treatment. Modify Figures IV-65 and IV-66 as well as the
Design Guidelines (pages IV-51 and IV-52) describing the landscape
treatment concept for the Co~ercial Park, as shown in Exhibit "B-5."
PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT
TVCPA 94-01 - WESTERN LAND PROPERTIES
May 11, 1994
Page 3
Staff Co~m%ent and Analysis: The original concept for the Corporate
Park was to have open landscaped areas within the site creating a
"window effect" for providing a view into the commaunity as well as a
visual relief of the commercial development along Foothill
Boulevard. Staff recommends that the proposed design criteria needs
to be strengthened by adding language to state that large landscaped
open space areas will be provided, as shown in Exhibit "B-5."
5o
Commercial Park. Modify Figures IV-70, IV-71 and IV-72 and the
design criteria (pages IV-57, IV-58, and IV-59) by changing the
graphics and the design guidelines to reflect a commercial
development, as shown in Exhibits "B-8" through "B-10."
Staff Comment and Analysis: The proposed language on page IV-57
expounded the design guidelines as described in the above sections
"Foothill Boulevard Centers Concept." The proposed graphics include
an example of a conceptual site plan and conceptual views of the
design character for the development of the site to illustrate the
intent of the design guidelines. Staff recommends that the proposed
design criteria for the north-south pedestrian spine be strengthened
by adding language to ensure wide, open space landscaped areas, as
shown in Exhibit "B-8."
C. Miscellaneous Changes in the Con~nunity Plan:
other graphic changes. As a result of the proposed land use change,
a number of figures as listed in Exhibit "C" will be modified since
they use the Land Use Plan as a base for the graphics.
Staff Co~nent and Analysis:
incorporated by reference.
Acceptable, as the changes will be
Overview of various commercial centers along Foothill Boulevard.
Modify Figure IV-67, page IV-53, by replacing the "Corporate Park"
with the proposed "Co~mercial Park" concept.
Staff Comment and Analysis: Acceptable, as the changes will be
incorporated by reference.
Discrepancies on the balance of the Community Plan. In reviewing
this proposed amendment, staff found that changes from previous
amendments have not been incorporated into the Community Plan, such
as, the "Multi-family Development Standards" adopted on September 11,
1991.
Staff Comment and Analysis: Staff recommends that a condition of
approval be placed requiring the applicant to bring the document up
to date and submit a master copy to the City within 60 days from the
date of the final approval of this amendment.

Environmental Assessment: The proposed land use change for the 25 acres
of vacant land as described in the title of this report and the various
text and graphics changes to the Co~nunity Plan will not have a
significant effect on the environment. However, a project level
environmental review should be required at the first development
application to ensure the development of the site in the future will not
have a significant impact to the environment. Staff reco~ends issuance
of a Negative Declaration for the proposed amendment.
FACTS FOR FINDINGS: The proposed amendment does not conflict with the Land
Use Policies of the General Plan and will provide for development in a manner
consistent with the General Plan and the Terra Vista Community Plan. The
proposed amendment would not be materially injurious or detrimental to the
adjacent properties and would not have a significant impact on the environment
nor the surrounding properties.
CORRESPONDENCE: This proposed amendment has been advertised 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.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the Planning Co~ission adopt the
attached Resolution, thereby recoma%ending that the city Council issue a
Negative Declaration and approve the proposed amendment with the modifications
noted in the staff report.

ANALYSIS:
General: The applicant is proposing to develop an 8,540 square foot
restaurant located at the corner of Foothill Boulevard and Spruce
Avenue. The restaurant's entrance will face Foothill Boulevard.
Hardscape and benches will be provided along the Foothill Boulevard
frontage. Parking for the facility will be located to the east and north
of the restaurant building. Access to the site will be gained via a
driveway off Spruce Avenue, and also ultimately from Foothill Boulevard.
Design Review Committee: The Design Review Committee (Lumpp, Buller)
reviewed the application on March 15, 1994. At that time, the Co~nittee
recon~ended the following conditions be incorporated into the plans prior
to Planning Co~nission consideration:
Additional architectural detailing/treatment should be provided on the
Spruce Avenue (west) elevation. The detailing should include the use
of col%unns slightly recessed to appear as a structural element.
2. Columns should be provided to frame the main entry.
3. The stucco and cornice treatment provided on the parapet should be
carried around to the back side of the parapet.
4. The loading area at the north side of the building should be striped
and posted for "loading only."
5. The trash enclosure should be redesigned to include an overhead
trellis, roll-up door, and wall cap.
The screen wall along the north elevation should be extended to a
point in line with the tower element and landscaping should be
provided on the north side of the wall.
The applicant should explore the possibility of providing additional
hardscape, benches, tree wells, etc., at the southeast corner of the
building to provide a more inviting waiting/plaza area.
8. A cap should be provided on the screen walls.
To address the Co~ittee's concerns, the applicant has revised the site
plan to extend the screen wall and provide landscaping along the north
elevation and has provided additional hardscape and benches along the
southern portion of the building. Staff has spoken with the applicant
about the possibility of providing additional hardscape and benches at the
main entry. The applicant has expressed concern about the grading that
will take place within this area and, therefore, suggests that additional
review with staff occur prior to building permit issuance. The applicant
has also revised the building elevations to provide columns at the main
entry and along both the east and west elevations. The coluams however
PLANNING CO~4ISSION STAFF REPORT
DR 94-02 - CRH0 ARCHITECTS, INC.

are not recessed as suggested by the Design Review Co~ittee. The
applicant believes that recessing the columns will obscure their
visibility and not provide the relief desired. Additionally, the
applicant believes that it will not be noticeable that the columns are not
supporting a structural element because the tops of the columns are under
the awnings. A condition of approval has been included in the Resolution
requiring the recessing of those column elements. If the Planning
Co~mission believes that the condition is not necessary, it should be
removed prior to adoption of the Resolution.
All other items identified by the Design Review Committee have been
included as conditions of approval in the Resolution.
Environmental Assessment: Staff has completed Part II of the Initial
Study and determined that the development of the restaurant will not have
a significant impact on the environment. As a result, staff recommends
that the Planning Co~ission adopt a Negative Declaration for the project.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff reco~ends that the Planning Commission approve
Development Review 94-02 through adoption of the attached Resolution and issue
a Negative Declaration for the project.

Chairman and Members of the Planning Commission
Brad Buller, City Planner
Matt Everling, Planning Intern
STREET NAME CHANGE 94-01 - CITY OF RANCHO CUCAMONGA - A
request to change the street name "Pierson Court" to
"Pearson Court," located east of "Johnston Place."
BACKGROUND: In a recent letter to the Planning Department dated March
21, 1994, Mr. James W. Clark expressed a concern that within Tract 13556
(Vintage Valley Estates), the street name "Pierson" is misspelled, and
requested a correction to "Pearson." As a third generation native of
Etiwanda, Ms. Cheryl Hickcox Guyer also desires to have the name changed
to its correct historic spelling in a letter dated February 24, 1990.
The Pearson family name was misspelled as "Pierson" based on a list of
historic family names compiled and approved by the Historic Preservation
Co~ission in 1984.
DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS: The name Pearson relates to Mr. Willis Grant
Pearson, who came to Etiwanda at the turn of the century. He was one of
the early citrus growers in the area and he worked with Henry in
building the Virginia Dare Winery. In an effort to represent the City's
historic past correctly, it is staff's intention to correct the
misspelled street sign. This is consistent with the City's Street
Naa%ing Ordinance.
