the design. He stated unfortunately, there is no money in hand. He stated it will probably be a couple
more months before they find out if they are even going to get any money. He stated the most important
thing Ms. North can do for him is to start talking to people about getting the City right-of-way so they can
start working in their area.
Ms. North stated it was her understanding the City would fund this if they couldn't get the FEMA money.
Joe O'Neil, City Engineer, stated he did not know at this time that it depends on budget constraints, etc. at

Addressing the City Council were:
Harold Haver, lives below this area, stated he does not want a lot of high-density property in this
area. He stated he walked up to this site and could not believe where the notice for this project
was posted. He felt this was one of the last remote areas left in the City and should be left alone.
He stated he is opposed to higher density around him. He felt there should be 15 acres set aside
for a preserve.
Leslie Grimes stated she has heard this is a done deal with the County pertaining to this project.
She asked if this is a done deal. She did not feel this open space should be built on.
Mayor Alexander asked her how she felt the City should set up a deal to purchase this.
Ms. Grimes stated she does not have the answer, but felt this property should not be 2 - 4
dwelling units per acre, but should be 1 - 2 units per acre.
Jack Lam, City Manager, talked about the history of the sphere area. He said the whole issue of the
sphere area has been talked about for the last 20 years in Rancho Cucamonga. He stated prior to the
City incorporating, most of this area was General Planned Industrial. He stated a few years later, the
General Plan was modified in the County area for Residential. He stated historically the City has fought
with the County for many years because the County allowed higher densities than the City would allow.
City Council Minutes
June 2, 2004
Page 9
He stated because of the rights of properly owners in that area to develop under the County codes, it
became a disincentive for property owners to incorporate into the City because the cost would go up, the
requirements would be higher and so forth. He stated the only thing the City could do at this time was to
follow a legal process and file suit. He stated development couldn't be stopped, just delayed so that
negotiations could take place to develop a better product. He stated the City has always had to negotiate
regarding this area. He stated if this is left in the County, the development would still occur, they would
use City services and facilities, and the City would get no revenue from that development. He stated the
City would like to have greater control over this sphere area.
Pauline Haver talked about the beautiful area they live in and hoped the Council will consider not
letting this area be destroyed by it being developed.
Hilda Phillips stated she lives in Terra Vista and stated the is concerned about the animals in the
mountains and hoped whenever possible to keep certain lands vacant and not build on them.
