Corkran Nicholson, Assistant Planning Director, opened the public hearing.

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. 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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. 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, B.

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.

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.

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.

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.
