existing building on 3.396 acres of land in the Industrial Park (Subarea 7) Haven Overlay
District, located at the northeast corner of Haven Avenue and Arrow Route -
APN: 0208-622-34. This project is categorically exempt per section 15301 (existing facilities)
of the California Environmental Quality Act and the City CEOA Guidelines. It is a Class I a
categorical exemption because the project only includes minor interior alterations.
Candace Thackerson, Planning Aide, presented the staff report. She stated the City has received
one letter in opposition.
Corkran Nicholson, Assistant Planning Director, opened the public hearing.
Mr. Michael Pauls,203 Argonne Avenue, Representative for Goodwill Southern California,thanked
Staff,Candace Thackerson, and Jennifer Nakamura for assisting with the project. He stated he'has
read the Resolution and Conditions of Approval. He stated he would like clarification to Condition
No. D-5 on Page A-1 6, which states the design of store fronts shall compliment the architectural
program and shall have subtle variations subject to Design Review Committee approval prior to the
issuance of building permits. He asked Staff if he could show that the design of the doors will be in
compliance with the design of the other doors in the same building, would Staff give the approval of
proceeding with an administrative approval rather then taking the plans to Design Review.
Mr, Nicholson asked Ms. Thackerson if this question has been previously addressed.
Planning Director Meeting 1 October 21, 2008
Ms.Thackerson stated that it has been addressed and that it will be considered a'minor change and
would not create problem.
Mr. Nicholson asked Mr. Pauls if this is the only exterior change other than new signage.
Mr. Pauls stated that is correct.
Mr. Nicholson stated that he does not see this minor change to be a problem, but will be leaving the
Condition D-5 as stated in the Standard Condition, He stated he would like the Condition to remain
as written which gives the City the flexibility to still take the design to Design review Committee in
case the door design submitted by the applicant does not compliment the architectural program.
Mr. Pauls stated he would like Mr. Terry Takeda representative of Goodwill Mores, to respond to
the letter received in opposition.
Ms.Thackerson Mated that the City has received one letter of opposition from the Ponderosa Dental
Group, received on 10- 1-0 , and dated 10- 0-03, stating concerns regarding the cliental and
homeless people surrounding the proposed store.
Mr. Pauls stated that it is his understanding that the Ponderosa Dental has had only two issues with
homeless people in the area within the last thirteen years.
Mr. Ferry Takeda, 342 San Fernando Road, Coogle industries, stated he has never received a
formal complaint from the Police Department regarding the issues stated in the letter of opposition.
He stated he felt by removing the donation bin located outside of the building and bringing it inside
will further enhance the neighborhood and make the business operation more seamless. He stated
that the building has been empty for more than a year and it would seem that having an empty
building would only contribute to the homeless situation rather than having an established business
in the southland that has been in business for more than ninety-two years.
Mr. Nicholson stated that he has received and read the letter. He stated that at this time the
Conditions of Approval as set forth in resolution-g3-16 clearly address the issues in the submitted
letter from the Ponderosa Dental Group,
Mr, Nicholson closed the public hearing and approved DRC O ?-00 3o through the adoption of the

No, g, states the donation drop-off site at the rear of the building shall)be manned by an employee at
all times during approved regular business hours. He stated that Condition No.'0 be revised with

under State CE A Guidelines Section 15301.
Rahe Gorginfar, Planning Aide, presented the staff report.
Corkran Nicholson, Assistant Planning Director, opened the public hearing.
Chuck Buguet, Charles Joseph Associates, commented that Condition No. 9 found on Rage A-11 of
the Resolution is problematic for reasons that it is un-enforceable as well as conflicting in the sense
that the conditional use permit and the ABC agency do not permit on-site drinking of alcohol with this
particular license and, therefore, the selling of single-units would not affect such a requirement.
Planning Director Meeting 1 July 22, 2008
He gave the example that someone could purchase a -pack and distribute it to his buddies in the
parking let,thus each receiving a single unit.
Charlie Buquet, Charles Joseph Associates, noted that some bottles of beer are only sold
individually because they are of a larger size.
s. Corginfar explained that her interpretation of the condition was that the store should not sell or
split open pre-packaged 6 packs not intended for individual sale,
Mr. Nicholson noted that there have been previous instances where this was a problem and that the
City is very concerned about public safety.
Mr, Chuck Suguf suggested that the problem could be fixed by re-wording Condition No, 1 on Page
AR1 0. He suggested adding the word"only"as follows. Approval is for Non-Construction Conditional
Use Permit ORC 0 8- 0405, the operation of a 4-hour gas station and convenience store in
conjunction with a Type 20 ABC License (beer and wino sales for off-site consumption only)...
Mr. Nicholson was amenable to the change and deleted Condition No. g as well. He cautioned the
applicants that this direction is applicable to this project but that the issue would be taken under
advisement and further:direction would be sought for any future protects and that they should not
assume that this direction will always apply.

Mr. Correa read the conditions.
Planning Director Meeting 2 October g, 2007
Mr. Nicholson opened the public hearing.
Dick Evitt stated he is representing the applicant. He noted the applicant has been in business for
many years and has no violations on his record. He stated this is a convenience store and not a
liquor store. He reported that there is only a small amount of space allotted to liquor,
Richard Gross, 8003 Hillside Road, stated opposition because he counted 7 other stores selling
liquor and a bar all located within one mile. He added that he is also opposed because of the
store's proximity to schools,
Keith Cowan, 7022 Cameo Street, expressed opposition. He said people will do their business and
leave and that this store operation will cause more people to drink, drive and then go to the bars.
Michael Christiana, 8371 Mandarin Avenue,commented that there are too many drunk drivers. He
said there is already a bar in the center, that this will encourage loitering and that we are not
considering the children walking home from school.
Danessa Cochran, 8005 Hillside Road, said she is a school teacher and is opposed to the project
for the same reasons.
Mr. Nicholson asked about the report from Alcohol Beverage Control (ABC), He asked if that
among the 9 allowed locations if there is a breakdown between liquor stores and general markets.
Mr. Correa commented that this project is specifically a Type 21 license (for off-site consumption).
He reported that Type 47 is for on-site consumption and would include restaurants and bars, He
noted that grocery stores fall under the Type 20 license (storage). He added that 9 licenses are
allowed in the census tract and that there are currently 7 leaving 2 more available. He noted that he
had contacted the Sheriff and there are no violations. He stated he also called Pomona Police
Department and they also reported no problems, He said this specific area of the project has not
had any related problems for quite some time, He added that the applicant has met all the
requirements for approval.
Mr. Nicholson asked if the ABC has its own requirements and enforcement,
Mr. Correa stated they do and they even have their own sworn officers,
Michael Christiana remarked that with easy access to the 210 Freeway nearby, this store location
could create problems,
Mr. Nicholson stated he shares his concern but that he must make findings in support of the case.
He noted the applicant has a positive background with no violations,the ABC is restrictive and that
this application does not exceed the number of licenses allowed.
Danessa Cochran asked for the license types to be explained again,
Mr. Correa repeated his previous review.
Danessa Cochran remarked that there is a difference between the license for a convenience store
and a liquor store.
Mr. Evitt stated this is not a full fledged liquor store. He added that it is only 1,500 square feet and
that there will be people on duty to access liquor from behind the register area.
Eliars Bakhous, owner of Red Carpet Liquor, arrived at 2:30 p.m.
Planning Director Meeting 3 October 9, 2007
Mr. Nicholson said there is a different license for taking the alcohol away from the store for
consumption versus alcohol to be drunk on site in a public setting.
Mr. Evitt remarked there are also groceries being sold.
Mr. Nicholson asked if they wanted to sell liquor only,would the license be the same and is the sale
area for hard liquor limited.
Mr. Correa stated that this is a full liquor store and that restrictions were never addressed. He noted
that there will only be a small percentage of their sales would be from the sale of groceries and
other products.
Mr. Nicholson noted that several members of the public are opposed for many reasons. He added
that Mr. Evitt indicated that liquor is only accessed by employees from behind the counter.
Mr. Backhous confirmed this and restated that the store is only 1,450 square feet.
Mr. Evict commented that the only way into the store is from the parking area and not the sidewalk.
He added that all property owners within 660 square feet of the project were notified and that the
schools are beyond that notification area.
Michael Christiana commented that in prior years a bar was on the site and that there were
'problems and now it is cleaned up and a "classy" place is there now.
Mr. Correa commented that there is no comparison between a bar and a liquor store and that the
City does not have control over their behavior.
Danessa Cochran stated that the description sounds misleading and that it could turn into a full
liquor store.
Mr. Nicholson prepared to approve the project with an added condition requiring the hard liquor to
be displayed only behind the cash register area where it can only be accessed by employees. He
remarked that the applicant stated that this is not a full liquor store but that is what has been
presented by the applicant.
Mr. Evict commented that most of the shelving is for groceries and one and one half of the shelves
is for nice wines that cannot be stored in the cooler.
Mr. Nicholson asked how much area is needed for wine,
Mr. Backhous stated about I shelf.
Mr. Nicholson closed the public hearing and commented that the applicant will be held to what is
shown on the floor plan:that the two front shelves will be for groceries ratherthan being visually"hit"
with liquor as soon as one enters the store, He suggested the fine wine shelf would be the next one
beyondthat. He added that he would agree to changing the hours as requested,and that the use is
compatible with the neighboring uses. He then approved the project by adopting the resolution of
approval with the amended conditions as noted.

PUBLIC HEARINGS
A, NOON-CONSTRUCTION CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT D C2 7- 880—ABLETRONICS—A
request to operate a retail sales business totaling 1,800 square feet;in a 7,440 square foot
building on approximately 7.27 acres in the General Industrial District(Subarea ), located at
860 8th Street-AW 0209-2 1-87. This project is categorically exempt per Section 15301
(Existing Facilities)of the California Environmental Quality Act and the City CEQA Guidelines.
It is e Class la categorical exemption because the project only 'includes minor interior
alterations.
Daniel Correa, Planning Technician, presented the staff report. He noted three letters had been
received regarding the project proposal from neighboring business owners: Safari Printing, Ideal
Comfort and [Michael Base (Exploration Geologist), He indicated that concern was expressed
regarding the parking of the complex and the related CCRs. He noted that the overall perking plan
and design were both reviewed and approved by the Design Review Committee.
Corkran Nicholson,Assistant Planning Director asked if any opposition was expressed at the time of
the original project approval.
Mr. Correa stated none was rioted.
Mr. Nicholson asked for clarification about the parking concerns.
Planning Director Meeting 1 September 11, 2007
Mr, Correa reported that the CC&Rs for the complex specifically states that "there shall be no
reciprocal or shared parking between and among the parcels." Mr. Correa commented that staff is
not suggesting a reciprocal agreement,that the parking calculations actually indicate a net gain of 7
spaces and that Building 5 has 1 extra space. He noted that he and Jennifer Nakamura,Associate
Planner,visited the site three times and no parking problems were observed,that each building has
their own parking allotments and they are standing on their own without a reciprocal agreement®
Mr. Nicholson asked if the complex is Code compliant,
Mr. Correa stated that it is.
Mr. Nicholson asked if there are other issues.
Mr. Correa commented that there is concern about allowing a retail business in this industrial
complex and the future parking situation if the complex should become overcrowded with retail uses.
Mr. Nicholson confirmed that the onsite parking provided considers the mix of uses allowed in this
development.
Mr. Correa stated that it was considered and to further clarify, only 1,000 square feet of the
1,800square feet of leased space (part of a 7,440 square foot building) will be used for the retail
purpose, including the shelving area. He briefly reviewed the breakdown of the parking found on
page 2 of the staff report.
Mr. Nicholson opened the public hearing and asked if the applicant has read and understands and
agrees with the conditions of approval,
Chuck Buquet, Charles Joseph Associates, 10681 Foothill Boulevard, Suite 395, stated he
represents the applicant and he was also involved with the approval of the original development of
the complex. He noted he was not aware of any letters and/or concerns and if he was, he would
have tried to address them. He said the proposed use is consistent with the Development Code that
no modification of the Code is involved, and the zone allows retail as an ancillary use. He said the
retail use has been taken into account in the parking calculation. He said the original project did not
provide for reciprocal parking and that each building must stand on its own for their parking. He said
the concerns of the other businesses are more perceptive than anything.
Mr. Correa commented that if there was a request to modify or intensify the use,the Conditional Use
Permit would have to be brought back for review.
Ronald Base, on behalf of Michael Base, 9846 6th Street, remarked that when he purchased
Building 8, he was told he had to share parking with Building 7 and therefore he had to give up 7
parking spaces. He expressed concern because the CC&Rs notes parking cannot be shared. He
noted that no tenants currently occupy Building 7 but he wanted his concern noted for the record if in
the future Abletronics decides to expand and therefore requires more parking. He said he would at
least like communication about that should it occur.
Mr. Nicholson recommended that should that request materialize, a meeting with staff and the
applicant could be arranged to address it before it becomes a problem.
Mr. Base said he had concern that it could not be challenged later.
Mr. Nicholson assured him that staff is here to help in that event.
Mr. Base reported that he was told that no retail uses would be allowed in the complex.
Planning Director Meeting 2 September 11, 2007
Mr. Nicholson stated that it is not uncommon to allow a restricted amount of retail space in industrial
areas, He said the retail use is not a primary use for the development but is permitted with a
conditional use permit and is compliant with the Development Code which was approved by the
Planning Commission,
Dennis Muller, Ideal Comfort, 9836 6th Street, reported that the center is only 50 percent occupied
and that there is only one entrance and exit for the entire complex. He said he is concerned that
there may be too many trucks trying to enter and exit the property if more retail is allowed in the
future.
Mr. Buquet commented that full retail uses would not be allowed; only retail uses that are ancillary.
He reiterated that each individual building cannot exceed the parking specifically allowed for them,
Mr. Muller expressed a concern that retail customers really don't care where they park, they park
wherever they want.
Richard Shyer, Abletronics, 9860 6th Street, asked if signage could be used to mark his spaces.
Mr. Nicholson commented that he should note the parking limits for his use in the resolution and that
he should be a good neighbor about that. He added that this use and the related parking for it is not
considered an exception;that this action for the complex is considered independently as any future
actions would be as well. He said each project must stand on its own merit. He said staff does not
want to see signs posted around the development for parking other than small curbface painted
signs that are only seen by vehicles pulling into a space. Mr. Nicholson then closed the public
hearing and approved DRC2007-00580 as recommended by staff as evidenced by the Resolution of
Approval with conditions.

square feet to 5,169 square feet that is located within the Neighborhood Commercial D
District at 979 -9798 1 th Street-API : `I 7 -01 -0
James Troyer, Planning Director, commented that he has reviewed the site and noted that there are
signs that have been installed without sign permits, He commented that he is inclined to continue
the item to allow the applicant to work with staff to resolve the sign issues:
Deeb 1. Deeb stated he is the applicant:
Dick Evict, All Star Realty, said the signs would definitely y
be down b this afternoon..
Mr. Troyer asked what he plans to install longterm.
Timothy Harbors, said he works for the shopping center and they did not approve those signs, He .
said they normally review them and approve thew before they go up. He said he works for Patton
Development that owns the center and is the superintendent on the site. He said if :staff would
indicate what they want them to conform to,then they could probably work it out. He said he is not
the decisionmaker as to what the signs say; his office is and these signs were never approved:
Dick Evitt said the beer/wine and lotto sign would be removed today, that he just did not have a
chance to do it before now, He said Town and Country would remain; that there would be one at the
parking lot and the other on the other elevation:
Planning Director Meeting August 7, 2007
Tabe van der Zwaag, Associate Planner remarked that they could have a total of 3, one on each
elevation. He said the sign indicating a list of products would have to be changed if it is to remain.
Mr. Herbers noted the sign with the phone/address number is a requirement of the Fire Department,
Mr, Troyer explained that signs cannot be installed without a permit, that it is not sufficient to just
change the face of the sign.
Mr. Deeb said he could just reverse the plastic sign for now,
Mr, Troyer asked if the sign cans would be removed,
Corky Nicholson, Assistant Planning Director confirmed that the "Town and Country" sign would
remain, only one sign per elevation is allowed, but the two additional cans would have to be
removed.
Mr. Herbers said he did not think it would be a problem to have them removed,
Mr. Nicholson said that because the liquor store is occupying the additional space, they could only
have one sign per building elevation whereas, the additional cans on that elevation were for a
previous occupant and would have to be removed, He said this is necessary to bring it into
compliance for code. He added that it would be helpful if when the superintendent observes a new
business going in,that he would tell them to come in a get a sign permit before installing their signs.
He commented that signs are often installed over the weekends and that it would help if he
(superintendent) notices a sign going in if he would ask for verification from the sign installer of their
sign permit.
Mr. Troyer said the language in Condition 8 is being changed to read, "Prior to the building permit
issuance, a sign package shall be reviewed for approval by the Planning Director prior to installation.
Advertising shall be in conformance with the dimity's Sign Ordinance." He said now they need to
remove the signs that are not approved and submit a sign package for review and approval. He
then approved the resolution approving the Conditional Use Permit as modified,

they can continue the item to a future Planning Director meeting after they meet with the
Building and Safety Department to come up with a resolution or if they are in a hurry to move
in, the City can approve the project as it is now and the applicant can appeal it.
Mr. King stated that he felt that continuing the item to a later date and resolving the firewall
issue with the Building and Safety Department as well as the Fire Department was the best
idea for him.
Planning Director Meeting 2 May 8, 2007
Tabe van der Zwaag stated that the f rewall`requirement is from the Building Code and it is not
mandated by the City of Ranch Cucamonga Planning Department,
Ms. Leung stated that she understood the applicants issue with the Building Code: The
Building and Safety [department is responsible for interpreting the Building Code.
Ms. Leung asked if there were any further questions from the public and seeing that there
were none, chased the public hearing.
Ms. Leung stated she will continue this item to either the May 22, 2007 or the June 12, 2007

SCHOOL OF COSMETOLOGY: A request to operate a training school of about 5,575 square
feet in a retail building of about 24,990 square feet in the Community Commercial (CC)of the
Foothill Blvd, (Subarea ), looted at 9170 Foothill Blvd. APN: 020 - 8 - 8.
Daniel Correa Planning Technician presented the Staff Report.
Candyce Burnett, Senior Planner opened the public hearing and asked if there were any questions
or comments and if the applicant had an opportunity to review the Resolution of Approval and
related conditions.
James Nass
er,sr 9170 Foothill Boulevard stated that he is the applicant rf d that he has read and
understood the Conditions of Approval. H added that he has bn asked by many students when
or if he would be opening a s p g drool in Rancho Cucamonga and felt that he has the passion to run
the business and loves teaching and would like to pass his knowledge down to his students. He
also stated that he feels that the City of Rancho Cucamonga is in need of a good school.
Bob Cross„ owner of Salon Success at 185 E. Foothill, Boulevard Upland stated that he is the
owner of the "bad" salon and that he had operated a school in Rancho Cucamonga for 17 years
and about a year ago he had spent quite a bit of time looking for a new location in the City but
based on the criteria there wasn't much available, and what was available was extremely expensive
so he ended up-locating his school on Foothill Boulevard in Upland. He asked how the City of
Rancho Cucamonga is abbe to approve this project in the location that is being proposed with the
small amount of students that the applicant is proposing to have in each classroom. He:also asked
that the project be denied based on the fact that the applicant ignored the application process.Mr.
Gross stated that he resented being referred to as the "bad" salon by the applicant and added that
he felt that there is no way that Mr. Nasser"s salon is going to be successful with such low student
enrolls-Went and that when he applied for his salon in the City, he was required to have more
Planning Director Meeting 1 April 10, 2007
students per classroom than Mr. Nasser is required to have.
Ms. Burnett asked the applicant if there was a student minimum to start business.
Mr. Nasser replied that there is not.
Ms. Burnett asked Mr. Correa if the applicant is meeting standards in all areas including parking.
Mr. Correa replied that the applicant is meeting all standards and the parking ratio includes
prospective students as well as the public.
Ms. Burnett stated that it looks as though this project is accommodating everyone and asked if there
were any other comments.
Mr. Gross replied that there are other complaints from other business owners, but they could not
attend today's meeting. He added that it's just a matter of time before Mr. Nasser violates the
Conditional Use Permit because he isn't going to be able to turn away students once his classrooms
fill up and he isn't going to be able to pay his bills with such a low student population. He added
that he did not want to leave the City of Rancho Cucamonga because it has great retail business
opportunities and both of his locations were in retail centers but they both wanted him out so he had
to leave and is now in Upland. He went on to say that he feels Mr. Nasser should be held to the
same standards as he was when he wanted to keep his school in the City.
Mr. Nasser responded by saying that the City of Rancho Cucamonga is the perfect place for his
business and that the City as well as California is growing and there is enough business to go
around so that everyone gets their share.
Ms. Burnett inquired if Mr. Nasser had opened his business already without approval of the
Conditional Use Permit,
Mr. Nasser responded that he has not opened his business yet.
Mr. Correa interjected that the only problem was that one of Mr. Nasser's staff members didn't
handle the application process correctly, but once that problem was discovered,it was corrected by
the applicant and everything is up to par at this point. He added that the applicant has met all the
conditions of approval and there is no reason to deny the Conditional Use Permit, especially on the
basis of the applicant possibly violating the Conditional Use Permit in the future, he added that the
City has no way of knowing what any applicant is going to do in the future in regard to violating or
not violating their Conditional Use Permit.
Ms. Burnett asked if there were any further questions from the public and seeing that there were
none, closed the public hearing.
Ms. Burnett stated she will adopt the Resolution of Approval and Standard Conditions as presented
by staff.

Park (IP) District, Subarea 8, located at 11981 Jack Benny Drive, Suite 101 -APN- 0229-022-09.
Michael P. Diaz, Senior Planner presented the staff report.
James R. Troyer, Planning Director, opened the public hearing and asked if there were any questions
or comments and if the applicant had an opportunity to review the Resolution of Approval and related
conditions.
Christopher L. Berg,471 Stanford Drive, Rancho Cucamonga,stated that he understood the conditions
and did not have any questions, Mr. Berg commented on the concerns for noise and odor controls
which he believes have been resolved.
Mr. Troyer asked how he resolved the noise and odor control.
Mr. Berg stated that they will be using high grade insulation between the walls, and the procedures will
be in a room within a room.
Mr. Troyer asked if they started construction for the insulation or if they are going to wait?
Mr. Berg commented that they have not yet started insulating yet; but when they start construction the
insulation will be done at the same time. He added that once the construction begins, they will have a
Planning Director Meeting 1 February 13,2007
ventilation system installed that that will decrease odor, which is needed because certain rooms need
more ventilation than others.
Susan Bahrer,471 Stanford drive, Claremont, stated she is a Veterinarian and that the kennels will be
stored on the side of the walls in the comerwhen surgery takes place and barking dogs will be far away
from everybody else so noise levels will be contained.
Mr. Berg commented that the Contractor has gone to great lengths to address the concerns of the
business owners and other tenants, He responded;they had a meeting a couple of weeks ago to
address the comments and concerns from the business owners in the neighboring facilities, Mr. Berg
stated that he attended the association meeting last week to address any concerns or comments that
might have come up since the previous meeting. He added that he felt that the meeting went well and
believed that the tenant next to him was satisfied.
Mr. Troyer asked if anyone else would like to make a public comment:
Chris Atkinson, 1 7 Bast Olive Avenue, Monrovia,stated he represents The Bates Company can behalf
of Management Company and managers association;_ He said, Chris and Ron Berg's presentation last
week was well done and the owners did not have a problem with the use. Mr.Atkinson stated that the
owners discussed that the building should be in a free standing,building but not in their building.
Mr. Atkinson asked for clarification on the isolated wall and if the applicants were going to tear the wall
down, insulate the interior, and then re-dry wall.
Joe Scott, 9892 Frederick Circle, Huntington Beach,stated he is the contractor,and that each individual
wall within the complex and in the ceilings will be insulated, and the insulation of each wall is going to
be the sound barrier throughout the unit;
r Atkinson stated that he understands the walls being insulated but that there would not be an
additional wall added with the existing wall.
Mr. Scott stated that the walls will be 6 inches thick and is sufficient enough for the sound barrier.
Mr.Atkinson commented that there are two properties which have animal facilities within the complex
and that after the renewal is up he will not be renewing their contract because the other properties
assured the same measures of noise and odor control and each of the facilities have not complied..
Debbie Scott, 9892 Frederick Circle, Huntington Beach,Contractor,asked if the ether properties were;a
Veterinarian hospital or grooming facility.
Mr. Atkinson replied that it is a grooming facility.
Mrs. Scott commented that most of the grooming facilities are very small and the animals are not kept in
rooms that are not insulated for sound. She indicated that at grooming facilities there are more animals„
that are healthy and feeling well, but they are having baths which the animals do not like,which causes
moire noise. She added the only similarities of the two are the animals. She explained there are no
other similarities of a Veterinarian hospital because the animals corning in are not feeling well,are sick,
or are coming in for surgery and are not energetic as healthy animals. She said there are ways to
control noise by lowering the light, keeping there in kennels, and having the rooms closed up so the
animals will go to sleep.
Mr.Atkinson stated there are differences''that the owner next door has as well;
r Troyer stated that a statement needed to be made and there can not be debate back and forth,
Planning;Director Meeting 2 February 1 , C 7
Mr.Atkinson replied that they do not want to have tenants like the tenants they have now from the other
city which may cause vacancy in the complex because of the situation.
r. Scoff stated they have been building these hospitals since 1988 and dealing with the centers that
they have built. They have discussed this with the tenants and the property managers and have sent
the information to a Frank Spaeth, (a concerned condo owner)and they did not have any problems. In
these complexes there are manufacturing,automotive and sheet metal businesses which are making a
lot more noise than a veterinarian hospital would.
Mr. Troyer asked if there were any conditions on the construction that they are proposing in the
resolution.
Mr. Diaz commented that nothing in the resolution to the actual construction method; only sound
attenuation is a condition which is stated in the resolution as number 3.
Mr. Troyer asked if Mr.Atkinson represents the neighboring property owners or the property in question.
Mr. Atkinson replied he is in association; he is an owner in the park and a manager that manages
the facility.
Mr.Troyer asked if Mr.Atkinson manages the park in question. He asked if there were any letters that
the other owners have objected.
Mr. Atkinson stated that he sent the letter the clay prior to the meeting to Mr. Diaz,
Mr. Diaz said he had not received the letter and asked Mr.Atkinson if he had a copy on hand. Mr. Diaz
looked at the copy and then realized that the name was incorrect,and stated Mr.Atkinson had sent the
letter to someone else which is why he hadn't received the letter.
Mr. Berg stated at the Association meeting that the business tenant, 'Mr. Spaeth, felt ok-with the
veterinarian hospital coming in; also, Mr. Spaeth had made a comment that the tenant he had chosen
was more of a problem than the applicant which made Mr. Berg feel at ease because Mr. Spaeth was
satisfied, Also they asked twice if anyone had any concerns. No one else had any concern at the time
it was discussed.
Mr. Troyer asked Mr. Berg how many animals they anticipate staying over night at the Hospital?
Mr. Berg replied that it depends on if they have been medicated or hospitalized animals.
Mr. Troyer asked how many do they plan to service on a daily basis'
Mr: Berg commented they will be seeing appointments every 30 minutes on a daily basis two to four
hours in the morning and three hours in the evening and that most pets are treated and discharged the
same day. He added;that at the beginning, there will not be as many surgeries,for their full capacity,
and at a future date, maybe four to five at a time and as for ill patients staying over night;there could be
about three to seven patients a night.
Mr. Troyer asked what about maintenance issues with people parking in the parking lot and pets.
relieving'themselves? He asked how the issues were addressed.
Mr. Berg commented that they usually talk with clients to inform them when these issues happen, so
they can have staff go and clean the waste and put a chemical on the waste so that it disinfects the
area and neutralize odor, He said they would like to be a positive facility with in the complex.
Planning Director Meeting 3 February t , 007
Ms. Bahrer commented that there is a routine for maintenance and that staff will check the facility for
waste, which they will dispose and clean up if needed.
Mr. Berg stated that they will be keeping the facility clean because the first impression of their facility is
in the parking lot.
Mr.Troyer commented that the lot in question is jointly dawned and the parking areas are maintained by
the owners.
Mr. Berg stated most of their clients will be parking by the facility and staff will be walking around the
facility when they are open to assure that the facility is maintained;
Mr.Atkinson commented that since the lot has been operational,the parking lot already gets full, In the
evenings parking decreases and during the day there are no guarantees that theywould be able to find
parking in front of their facility. He commented that the customers will be parking in front of the other
tenants,which then their pets will be able to relieve themselves in front of the other facilities: He said
owners would get upset and then management'will be receiving ells. He expressed appreciation for
efforts that have been taken, but it is hard to understand hove the animal will be able to control itself.
Mr.Troyer said he wants to approve CUP but needs to mitigate all effects of the business which may be
able to be done. He said he would like to meet main in two weeks to discuss and negotiate the matter
between the two.
Ms. Bahrer asked if in two weeks if they will have the finalization for the Conditional Use Permit,
because they have not closed escrow.
Mr. Troyer asked when they would;close escrow.
Rory Berg, 10281 Capri Drive„ Alta Loma, stated` that escrow closes the next day which is
February 14, 2007. He supported the project,
Chris Mittino, 10750 Civic Center Drive, Rancho Cucamonga, representative.for Prudential, stated he
did talk to the property owners and they were in support of the applicant.
Mr. Troyer stated that it puts staff in a difficult position in trying to approve a CUP the day before escrow
closes. He noted there is no guarantee that the CUP will be approved the same day.
Ms. Bahrer commented they were trying to avoid the delay, but they are working hard to get the parking
analysis and to make sure the City had all of the documents that were needed to approve the
Conditional Use Permit;she said they do not want to purchase a property if they can not use the facility
as a hospital.
Mr.Troyer continued the meeting to .45 p.m, to allow discussion and mitigation measures.'
Mr.Troyer called the meeting back to order. Staff modified and added a condition. The conditions that
have been modified are 3 and 10 in the resolution and number 12 has been added, He asked if the

Ms Bahrer asked for reassurance that the CUP is finalized and will not be appealed'.

Planning Director Meeting January9,2007
Kelly Tofalo, Enterprise Rent -Car, 5462 Holt Boulevard, explained that Enterprise has
00 locations in Southern California and is careful to avoid parking impacts with other businesses.
She added that the area of the parking lot has plenty of parking spaces. She explained that their
cars would be located next toRalph's Grocery Store which would be completely away from any
other store fronts. She added that their cars would not be stored on the lot and would be parked
only for a few hours until picked up by the customers.
r. Diaz asked how this Enterprise is different from the other Enterprise operations in the City.
Ms.Tofako stated that their primary customer coming to their location is typically one that either has
had a car in the shop, been in an accident or has had their car stolen. She added that they actually
pick up the majority of the customers that come in, which rakes them a very community based
business and stated that as a company they pride themselves on being within 15 minutes of ninety
percent of the population. She explained that they do not service airport rentals. They do however;
sometimes rent to the occasional weekend traveler's wanting to go to Las Vegas; Phoenix,or San
Francisco at that location.
Mr, Diaz inquired as to how the cars would get delivered to the site;
Ms. Tofako explained that they have a driving team of about fifty part-time drivers who move cars
between branches as needed.
r. Diaz asked ghat office customers call when they contact Enterprise:
s.Tofako replied that customers usually call their local office or call the 800 number listed which is
located in St. Louis who then rout their call to the office closest to them,

request to operate a banquet hall facility in the General Industrial District(Subarea ), located

Rolynne Thompson, Contract Associate Planner, presented the staff report.
Can Coleman,Acting City Planner,opened the public hearing and asked the applicant if there were
any questions or comments and if she has had an opportunity to review the resolution and related
conditions.
ola Oduyemi, 11905 Jack Penny Drive, Suites 107-11 ,indicated she is the applicant and stated
that she had a concern regarding condition#g in the Resolution; it states that"They will obtain all
necessary licenses from the Department of Alcohol and Beverage Control if alcohol is served,"the
applicant stated that the wording should be changed to,'"They will obtain all necessary licenses from
the Department of Alcohol and Beverage Control if alcohol is sold," rather than 'served, because
they will not be serving alcohol.
Mr. Coleman stated that this is a very gaud question and since they will not be serving alcohol at,
their place of business,the last statement in that sentence would be struck and amend the sentence
to read, "They will obtain the necessary licenses from the Department of Alcohol and Beverage
Control."
City Planner Meeting 1_ February 21, 2006
Mr. Coleman asked the applicant if they had done this type of business before and the applicant
responded that they had a business in the city of Pomona. Mr. Coleman questioned if he were a
customer would he have to use their"caterer
Ms. Odyemi answered that they will not offer catering,that customers will provide their own food and
beverages or use their own caterer.
Mr. Coleman noted that them is an apparent rowed for this type of business because the City"s
Central Park banquet facility is booked through the rest of this year.
r. Coleman closed the public hearing and adopted the resolution with the revised condition as
noted.
B. NON-CONSTRUCTION CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT-DRC2005-999 1 -CORINNE ATKINS-
A request to operate a self and professional grooming facility for dogs and cats with incidental
retail in the general Industrial District (Subarea )" located at 11996 Jack Benny Drive,
uite'19b -API : 9229-01-
Ro dlynne Thompson, Contract Planner, presented the staff report:
Dan Coleman, Acting City Planner; asked Ms. Thompson to repeat the hours of operation and
asked why she didn't think the hours of operation were going to be a problem:
Ms.Thornpon explained that the hours of the surrounding businesses would not coincide with their
proposed business hours.
r. Coleman, opened the public herring and asked the applicant if there were any questions or
comments and if she had an opportunity to review the resolution and related conditions.
Corrine Atkins,1199 Jack Benny Drive, Suite 105, stated that she is a'Veterinary Technician and
has worked in an animal hospital from many years and decided it would be better for her, and more
enjoyable, if she groomed the animals as her primary function. She stated that she has a lot of
knowledge,in the animal field which is why she decided to go this route with the business.
Mr. Coleman asked if this type of operation allows the option of washing your dog yourself or having
it professionally groomed.
Ms. Atkins explained how her business works. She stated that she has come across a lot of
animals that have anxiety problems and/or are aggressive and cannot be handled by anyone other
than their owner. She stated that she has found for a short-haired dog the cost is at least seventy
five dollars for a grooming, but the owners n do it themselves for twenty dollars at her facility.
She Mated that a`lot of people don't get their dogs groomed because they#can't afford to pay that
much money, so this is a good way for people to groom their animals themselves at an affordable
price. She said her facility"is also good for elderly dogs because there are stairs that lead up to the
hydra-pooh and its good for people who do not like to bathe their animals in their homes or use their
personal towels for drying there. She said they also offer professional grooming for dugs than do
require it.
Mr. Coleman asked what happens when you mix clogs and cats together.
Ms. Atkins answered that nothing happens as long as you have there separated. She stated that
every area in her facility is separated and gated; that safety is her number one priority.
City Planner Meeting 2 February 21,, 2006
Mr, Coleman asked what happens if a dog tries to jump out of the tub and whether or not the
animals are kept on leashes.
Ms. Atkins answered yes, they are kept on leashes and there are looks on the lack walls of the
tubs that the animals will be hooked to so they cannot jump out. She stated that If a dog does
somehow get loose, he is enclosed in his own fenced unit anyway, so there's no problem there.
Mr. Coleman asked if they will be offering flea dips as a service.
Ms.Atkins answered that they would not be giving medicated flea dips;onlywhat is available at pet
stores because you have to be a licensed Veterinarian to give medicated flea dips. She stated that
if a dog comes in that looks like it has a skin condition, she will refer its owner to a licensed
veterinarian.
Mr.Coleman asked if she knew if county animal control inspectors needed to do inspections on this
type of business.
Ms. Atkins replied that the only time a business like hers needs to be inspected is if they are doing
'kenneling';which she stated they are not. Ms.Atkins then added that she wanted to clarify that the
noise level would not be a problem because of the dance studio's music is loud.
Mr. Coleman asked if the dance studio music could cause a problem for the animals.
Ms. Atkins answered that she didn't think it would be a problem because the concrete wall in the
facility goes all the way up to the roof and she added additional drywall to it.
Mr. Coleman asked if there were any other comments; seeing none he closed the public hearing
and adopted the resolution as presented by staff. He also reminded both applicants to be aware of
the Cit)(s,sign requirements.

Kew Avenue -APN: 0227-464-15,
Mike Diaz, Senior Planner, presented the staff report,
Brad Buller, City Planner, opened the public hearing and asked if any calls or comments had been
received regarding the project.
Deborah Kerr, Kerr Project Services, 4655 Cass Street, San Diego, stated she is representing
Mainstreet Properties who own this particular TGI Friday's location, She reported that she has
reviewed the resolution and conditions of approval and has no exceptions,
Mr" Buller remarked that in prior meetings, staff had recommended a mural treatment on the east
elevation wall, He asked why it is not being indicated in the exhibits now.
Mr. Diaz reported that the building elevation was modified to rearrange the brick and plaster
treatment. He said that with the rearrangement,the area dedicated to the proposed mural became
too small. Therefore, the applicant requested that they not be required to produce the mural.
Ms. Kerr reported that the applicants could not come up with a mural design that fit the space that
the principals could agree upon. She noted that in the Design Review Committee meeting, the
Commissioners agreed to allow the mural treatment to be deleted,
Mr. Buller noted that since the mural has been deleted, the wall appears stark in relation to the
walkway and the wall. He said he would like the applicant to add a bench and a planter or potted
plant to soften the appearance of the wall.
Ms. Kerr noted that Forest City is responsible for the street furniture elements, but that she would
work with Forest City to make that happen.
City Planner Meeting 1 July 12, 2005
Mr. Diaz commented that it is a good idea and noted that the plans indicate enough room on that
portion of the wall and walkway and should not prevent the addition of the new street furniture.
Mr. Buller asked if a separate condition had been added for benches and the planter.
Mr. Diaz said it had not because Forest City is in charge of adding these elements,
Mr. Buller closed the public hearing and commented that he is adding Condition No. 8 to read,
"Benches, potted plants and other street furniture as deemed appropriate by the City Planner shall
be installed along the Kew Avenue (east) elevation of the building," He then approved
DP C 2005-00326 with the added condition as noted,

of the Victoria Community Plan, located at 8025 Day Creek Boulevard, APN: 0227-464-037.
This action is within the scope of the project reviewed in an Environmental Impact Report(EIR)
(State Clearinghouse No. 20010301028)prepared for Development Agreement 01-02,Victoria
Community Plan Amendment 01-01, and Tentative Parcel Map SUBTT15716. Said EIRwas
certified by the City Council on February 20, 2002, and no additional environmental review for
the discretionary actions mentioned in this notice is required pursuant to Public Resources
Code Section 21166,
Mike Diaz, Senior Planner, presented the staff report,
Brad Buller, City Planner asked what the actual number of parking spaces exist within the boundary
of the parcel lines. He said it appears to be more than the 34 noted in the staff report.
Mr. Diaz counted and confirmed a total of 38 spaces.
Mr. Buller opened the public hearing and then asked if the 34 onsite spaces noted in the staff report
are required by the square footage being proposed,
Joe Donati, Investwest, 1048 West Fremont Street, #C, Stockton, stated only 30 are actually
required for the 2,500 square foot building and the 500 square foot patio.
Mr. Buller commented that he is trying to balance the parking demands related to parking provided.
He asked if any of these spaces are needed for Pad 15,
Mr. Donati replied that they are not. He said the use is strictly retail and they won't be needed. He
remarked that since they own this parcel and are not just land leasing and therefore,they own the
spaces, He mentioned they have three other Pads, 15, 2, and 3 that are land leased. He clarified
that they are not giving up any parking.
Mr. Buller directed Mr. Diaz to verify the parking calculations for the future uses and that it is
understood that when Pad 1 is developed,these extra spaces are not theirs (the owners of Pad 1).
He commented that he has a concern that when the remaining pads are developed parking demand
and allocation be accurate and carefully managed.
Mr. Donau added that they (Investwest) have reserved spaces in case they choose to develop a
restaurant on Pad 15 because in that event, they would need 8 more spaces than what they
currently have available.
City Planner Meeting 2 July 12, 2005
Mr. Buller commented that the record should reflect that the parking is based upon the site plan
submitted and the evidence of the square footage of the project
Mr.Conati commented that the parking designated for the use was calculated based upon building a
4,000 square foot building,when in tact, they downsi ed to a 2,500 square+foot building. He noted
that they last some spaces because they did not calculate in the spaces taken by the patio element
and the trash enclosures. He remarked that this is a prototype store, it has a drive thru and is
unusual it that customers will be given the opportunity to download music and it will be a place
where patrons will feel free to enjoy the fireplace and sit and stay for awhile; He said they are ready
to submit plans and everyone seems to be happy with it;
'Ir. Diaz remarked thattarbucks is one of the largest record retailers with the sale of their music
selections they play in their stores,
Mr, Puller closed the public hearing and offered thanks to the applicant for their early participation
and cooperation during the process. He said they listened well and came in with what we were
after. He commented that they have a good location and a gaud project. He approved Conditional

Emily Cameron,Associate Planner, presented the staff report.
Brad Buller, City Planner asked if notices of the project had been sent to the adjacent businesses
and if any calls or comments had been received on the proposed daycare projects
Irs. Cameron stated that no calls had been received.
Mr. Buller opened the public hearing and asked the applicant how things are going with the
neighbors:
Sterne De "Young, Senior Pastor, Mountainview Faith Community Church, 7986 Haven Avenue,
stated there have not been any problems with the neighboring businesses and that he believes the
church provides services like the other businesses do. He commented that he anticipates the
employees of the other businesses to be excited about the daycare facility because they may use it
for their own children while they are working.
Mr. Buller asked how the parking is working out:
Pastor Lie Young replied that because the, center has a common use agreement, all the parking
spaces belong to everyone. He reported that the church does not have a high use during the
daytime hours, so parking has not really been an issue. He said Wednesday evenings and
weekends are busy.
Mir® Buller asked for a review of Exhibit C, specifically the play area. He asked if the State requires a
specific amount of shade to be provided in the play area,
City Planner Meeting 3 duly 12, 2005
Vicky Herman, Mountainview Faith Community Church said she is acting as an administrator for the
preschool and that in the future a directorwill be hired, She commented that State Regulations-Title
22, does not specify the amount of shade to be provided, only that it be provided. She remarked
that in consideration of the warm climate, they plan to provide more shade than what would be
required,the play area will have the shade structure,the play tables will be shaded,water will always
be available, and toys and small equipment will be stored in shaded areas to prevent them from
becoming hot while the children are indoors,
Mr. Buller referred to the exhibit which indicates an open wrought iron fence and asked if that is
correct.
Pastor De Young said that it is.
Mrs, Cameron confirmed that it is,
Mr. Buller asked how tell the fence would be.
Marina Magnolia, Andresen Architecture, Inc., 17087 Orange Way, Fontana, said it is 6 feet high.
Mr. Buller noted that although this portion of the site is not really visible to the rest of the center, it is
the only portion of the center using wrought iron fencing. He asked for confirmation that the fencing
will be consistent, a warm earth tone color, and in keeping with the architecture of the rest of the
center,
Ms. Magnala said it would be consistent.
Mr, Buller asked how the children would access the playground from the building.
Ms. Herman reported that there are double doors that lead from the hall on the inside of the building
that open out to the west side of the building into the play area. She said the layout prevents the
children from interfering with anyone or the other businesses.
Mr. Buller noted a hedge shown on Exhibit C that appears it would prevent the children from
accessing the play area. He asked if the outside play area is all one or is it split into two areas
separated by the hedge shown on the exhibit.
Pastor De Young reported that all shrubs next to the building are being removed and all surface
materials will be approved. He noted that there will be some grass and some hardscape,
Ms. Herman said they have not finally decided upon the materials, but that the material under the
play equipment will be a soft texture to help prevent injury,
Pastor De Young added that there are two walkways that lead out from the theaters that will remain
in place for emergency purposes and they, as well as the gates,are outfitted with panic hardware for
emergencies.
Mr. Buller commented that there were some older pepper trees on the property that have now been
removed. He said he prefers some natural shade in the area. He asked if a final landscape plan is
available.
Mrs. Cameron noted there is a condition of approval requiring 1 tree for every 3 parking stalls,
Mr. Buller closed the public hearing and stated that his concern is for the backside of the property
and that if all the bushes are removed and if hardscape is put in all the way up to the wall there
City Planner Meeting 4 July 12, 2005
would be no way to soften the appearance of the wall. He said he wants staff to review a plan that
shows what is being removed and what is being put in. He added Condition No, 12 to read, "The
applicant shall submit precise playground and landscape plans for review and approval by staff prior
to occupancy." He commented that the church has been a good neighbor and that he is arrays
interested in how churches fit into existing centers. He said it is not always a good match, but that
he is happy to report to the Planning Commissioners success stories when we have there. He then
approved the project with the added condition as noted.

regarding the provision of music for patrons was discussed only as a consideration at the Design
Review Committee meeting as opposed to a condition. He requested that the condition be changed
City Planner Meeting 1 dune 21, 2005
to suggest consideration of music. ;He said that Chevron did not want to be bound by this formal
condition. Mr.Tidball expressed his satisfaction of the contents of the staff report with the exception
of this point:
Mr. Buller thanked Chevron on the behalf of the City of Rancho Cucamonga for bringing such a nice
project to the city from a;design standpoint.. He asked Mr. Tidball if this was the first Chevron station
project of this magnitude.
r. Tideball responded "yes." He stated that since Chevron decided to do the retro theme, they
have the desire and ability as a corporate entity good enough to do it right:
Mr. Buller asked if the proposal included murals, particularly on the main gas station buildings.
Mr.Tidemall replied"yes,"and that one will be located on the back of the retail building facing Monet
Avenue and one on the car washing facility that fades the interior of the service station development;
Regarding the color rendering provided at ITC, he stated that Chevron considered superimposing
some historic black and white photos. He said that they still creed to work with an,artist to develop a
final design and submit for final staff review,
Mr. Buller asked Mr. Diaz what condition applied to the murals.
Mr. Diaz said that it is Condition No, 16 on Page 8.
Mr. Buller asked the applicant if they had decided on a mural design.
Mr. Tidmall stated that they were undecided, but wanted to keep the main part of the process
moving to obtain building permits while working with the details of the mural simultaneously,
r. Buller mentioned that other applicants of similar projects took photos, projected them on tiles,
pressed the images on the and cut them up, and created a mosaic. He wished Mr. Tidmall good
luck with the project and expressed that depicting the route 66 theme would be very important,
Regarding the Site Mari, he asked what is the latest paving plan as far as enhanced paving,
Mr. Tidmall answered that the pedestrian area and parking lot in frontof the site is enhanced paving:
Mr. Buller said that he had two questions to ask regarding' the east elevations over the main
entrance: "l j What are the requirements for scorelines on the large tower beacon element? Is there
a requirement from a construction standpoint to contain scorelines and what is the reasoning behind
the absence of them? He noticed that theme are no score lines on the elevation that has the "EM"°
sign.and 2)Why is stucco being used on the southwest elevation instead of the suggested spandrel
glass on the shop front '
Mr.Tidmall responded that there will be vertical and horizontal score lines. The vertical score line is
cut off on the exhibit on the elevation in question. He said that the lather three elevations on the
tower element do not contain signs and vertical neon scorelines wil be used to enhance the beacon
element. He said that Chevron modified the score lines to match the spacing of the mullions of the
building, He replied to the second question by stating that spandrel glass was not used in that
historic time period, and felt that it would be more true to the time period to have a solid mall in that
location and glass where there is store interior:
Mr. Buller stated that instead of the use of stucco, he would prefer to see a mural on that blank wall
and the meeting minutes would reflectthe conversation between them regarding the east elevations.
He also strongly encouraged ""Oldies" be played for the patrons at the canopy.
City Planner Meeting 2 dune 21, 2005
Mr,Tidmall said that he will work with Chevron to consider the possibility of providing outdoor music,
Mr Buller directed staff to modify Condition gF to reflect the change to consider outdoor music as
opposed to making it a condition to provide it
Mr.Tidmajl, commenting on Mr. Buller°s previous suggestion regarding adding a mural to the wall of
the south elevation instead of leaving it blank, said that they are considering putting up a orc line-
typo sign that may have been used at a service station during the time period to be depicted,
r. Buller suggested that it could be an old route 66 design and he further expressed his dislike of
the blank wall. He said that it has very little softscape landscape, or treatment. Because it is the
front, he suggested consideration of something else, but he will not snake it a condition: He stated
that the minutes would reflect the conversation that Chevron will consider another option.
r. Buller closed the public hearing and approved the Resolution of Approval with modification to
Condition #gF as presented by staff.

City Planner Fleeting 1 May 24, 2005
industrial tenants. He said that churches that locate in these parks need to be aware that they may
encounter noise or other issues related to the industrial uses. He noted that, in this particular
location, Point of Grace church will be in a freestanding building within this park and therefore may
not be as impacted by their industrial neighbors, He commented that one particular problem often
encountered is the use of illegal signs. He cautioned them to follow the approved sign program for
the industrial park. He added that if the church use does become a problem, the Conditional Use
Permit could be Brought back for review:
Mr. Francis asked if any signs are legal.
Mr, Buller replied that only the signs on the buildings are legal. He explained that some industrial
parrs have a marquis, but when there are a number of businesses located in the park, a marquis is
less likely to be provided. He suggested that when the church holds special events or sends out any
advertising, that they add a map to their flyers or bulletins so that people can find their location
without the use of illegal signs. lr. Puller then closed the public hearing and approved the

PUBLIC HEARINGS
A.- CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT (NON CONSTRUCTION) - DRC2004-010 3 a KENN TH S.
SANTLICI -A request to establish a paint ball equipment distribution and retail business in a
7,650 square foot tenant space in a 26,775 square foot building that is part of a 129,565 square
foot,five building industrial parr on 7.12 acres,currently under construction on the east side of
Rochester Avenue, in the General Industrial District(Subarea ), located at 8423 Rochester
Avenue, Suite D -APN: 0229-021-34 van der Z+ aag,Planning Technician;,presented the staff report. He noted that several others,
including a church and a party/recreational facility have recently expressed interest in this location
as well. He commented that because of the intended use of the center as industrial condominiums,
staff is recommending a parking ratio of 20 percent for the office/retail portion of the business and
80 percent to be allowed for manufacturing and storage.
Brad Buller, City Planner, opened the public hearing. He asked Mr.Van der Zwag if any calls had
been received regarding this project.
Mr. Van der Zwaag said no
r.Buller commented that he appreciates staffs limits on the retail component of the business. He
noted that the intended use for the complex is not for a retail outlet but is allowable to have a
warehouse with retail as an ancillary component. He said that it would seem better to have this use
in a retail commercial center and not in an industrial business parr.
City Planner Meeting January 11,2004
Everett Gibson, 12434 Silk Oak Court,Rancho Cucamonga,stated he has done Mr. antuci's books
for 10 years and he would represent hire for the purposes of this hearing. He reported that at their
Upland location" they average only 27 cars per weak and that recast of their patrons come after
.gg p.m when the industrial uses will most likely be closed for the day. He said they sell high dollar
items and most of their revenue is generated by the retail sales. He noted that they expect the
industrial uses to need more spaces than them. He commented that they went to expand the
wholesale portion of the business.
r. Buller asked if their Upland location has both retail and wholesale.
r. Gibson said they do and they typically sell in units rather than in large quantities.
MrBuller asked how they are marketing their business,
r. Gibson said by word of mouth and with the"Val-Pac"mailers. He said they are very successful
with this because the paintball market is small and they know most of the people that are interested
in this sport. He said they are small"start-ups," He added that they did 1.2 million dollars in sales
last year and that their profit is gained primarily from the sale of accessories" not the paintball guns
themselves.
r.. Buller voiced his concern that although they are limiting the business to paintball equipment
today" it maybe scooters and other things tomorrow. He said he does not:wantto see this become
a retail outlet for 20 other things besides paintball equipment. He said they would allow this use,but
that they need to understand this is not a retail center and if someone else came along and wanted
to put in a sporting goods share, he would have to turn them down..
r Gibson said they need the retail component to make the business work, but they want to
develop the wholesale side,
ra Buller emphasized the importance of following the ity's Sign Ordinance and the sign program
for the center. He cautioned' Mr. Gibson against using illegal sandwich board signs and banners
and said that if he becomes aware of sign infractions,he could bring the project back and revoke the
Conditional Use Permit:
rGibson stated they are successful with the mailings and they will follow the=signage laws. He
asked when the grow Route ofitramp would be going in because the mall and the other
development along Foothill Boulevard has made traffic a problem.
r. Buller said it could be at least another 3 years, and that it would definitely improve the traffic
flow, Mr. Buller then closed the public hearing and approved DR 0 -01083'by adoption of the
Resolution of Approval with conditions as presented by staff.
