HARMA MAGHAKIAN October 13, 2004 Page 2 D Background On September 8, 2004, the Planning Commission approved the associated Development Review DRC2001-00154 and Variance DRC2001-00155 The associated subdivision was mistakenly filed as a tract map and had to be re-advertised as a parcel map This is the reason why the parcel map is before the Commission tonight ANALYSIS General The proposed project is to form a separate parcel for each building with associated parking The parcels are less than the YZ acre minimum for this zone, however, the Development Code allows the Planning Commission to consider smaller lots within master planned developments The Planning Commission approved the master plan (DRC2001-00154) on September 8, 2004 A Desion Review Committee The Committee (McPhail, Stewart, Fong) reviewed the protect on February 17, 2004, and on July 6, 2004 recommended approval of the protect to the Planning Commission (Exhibit "C") B Technical and Grading Review Committees The Committees reviewed the protect and recommended approval subtect to the conditions outlined in the attached Draft Resolution of Approval C Environmental Assessment The applicant completed Part I of the Initial Study Staff completed Part II of the Initial Study and found that there could be a significant adverse environmental impact onshort-term air quality during site preparation Such impacts would be caused by grading and equipment exhaust Mitigation measures will be regwred to reduce the short-term air quality impact to aless-than-significant impact Also, the protect would necessitate removal of a Eucalyptus Windrow, hence, replacement planting is regwred as mitigation If the Planning Commission concurs, then an issuance of a Mitigated Negative Declaration would be in order CORRESPONDENCE This item was advertised as a public heanng in the Inland Vallev Daily Bulletin newspaper, the property was posted, and notices were mailed to all propertyowners within a 300-foot radws of the protect site RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends approval through adoption of the attached Resolution and issuance of a Mitigated Negative Declaration of environmental impacts Respecffull submitted, Brad City Planner BB DF/ma Attachments Exhibit "A" -

Design P~ arm The site is severely constrained by its small size and shallowness. This mfill site is vacant with a stand of Eucalyptus trees along the north property line. The site is approximately 6 feet below the adjoining Atchison Topeka i~ Santa Fe Railroad (used by Metrolink) to the north The site slopes to the south with a fall of less than 2 percent. To the east is the Cucamonga Creek concrete flood control channel To the south, across 8th Street, are residential condominiums, to the west, across Vineyard Avenue, is a bar and automotive repau uses; and to the southwest is a small step commercial center This intersection is designated by the General Plan as a gateway that should feature an Entry Monument in similar Mission Revival forms and cobblestone walls as the existing Archibald Avenue/4th Street gateway. The prolect contains three small sized buildings, which range in size from 6,033 square feet to 7,210 square feet, and are similar to other industrial bwldings along 8th Street. The buildings are rectangular shaped, which is conduave for the intended use. Access into the prolect site is off of 8th Street Additionally, the applicant has provided an outdoors employees' area for the prolect The prolect also has an associated parcel map for each budding and associated parking. The stucco buildings include decorative details, recessed reflective glazing, metal seam roofing, fiberglass molding around windows, multi colored paint scheme, and slate file accents at the entryways Budding "A," which fronts the corner of Vineyard Avenue and 8th Street, has a tower element When you consider the existing development in the area, this prolect will be a major architectural improvement Vanance The applicant has requested flexibility from the required building and landscape setbacks along both street frontages The small area and shallow depth of the site is similar to nearby //~ DRC ACTION COMMENTS SUBTT16769, DRC2001-00154, AND DRC2001-00155-HARMA MAGHAKIAN February 17, 2004 Page 2 properties on 8th Street for which the Planning Commission has granted setback variances Staff Comments The following comments are intended to provide an outline for Committee discussion. Major Issues• The followmg broad design issues will be the focus of Committee discussion regarding this protect. 1. Site Plan -The site is overdeveloped or poorly conceived as evidenced by these elements• 3. r1 LJ Location Buildings A, B, C Site Plan Challen e Does not comply with one tree per 30 linear feet because of the lack of lantern or lantern too narrow for the trees Budding A Trash enclosure has no landscaping to soften and creates a blinds of for drivers backin out of ad omen arkm stall. Budding B Cannot count the space in front of the loading door on the west elevation as a parking stall. Why is a 5-foot walkway shown between the outdoor plaza and the loading zone Trash enclosure has no landsca m to soften Building C Angled loading zone is impossible for trucks to maneuver in/out Angled parking space cannot be backed out of without making a multiple-point turn. No handica arkm s ace is rovided Lot A, B, C North property line does not comply with the 5-foot minimum continuous landsca a stri Lot A No stacking distance -vehicles exiting the protect will block the on-site parking stalls. Outdoor plaza relegated to "left-over" space and has no shade trees or trellis. Lot B Does not comply with the landscape "island" at the south end of the arkm rows Lot C No landscaping north of the parking spaces. Outdoor plaza relegated to "left-over" space and has no shade trees or trellis City Entry Monument -Redesign to be consistent with the General Plan requirement to use similar Mission Revival forms and cobblestone walls as the existing Archibald Avenue/4th Street gateway (Exhibit A") Staff will make this a condition of approval Architecture -Provide larger areas of the 12-inch by 12-inch slate tiles as the second two primary exterior materials This material will mostly be hidden by cars or landscaping as currently proposed along the base of the buildings Also, additional design elements are needed along the north elevations of the buildings faang the Metrolink Spandrel glass and material changes are recommended Landscaping -Only one tree is proposed on-site Also, diamond-shaped tree planters must be installed in the parking lots in order to shade at least 50 percent of the pavement and to satisfy // DRC ACTION COMMENTS SUBTT16769, DRC2001-00154, AND DRC2001-001 55- HARMA MAGHAKIAN February 17, 2004 Page 3 the minimum City standard of one tree per each 3 parking stalls and one tree per 301inearfeet of bwldmg Second=ry Issues' Once ail of the mayor issues have been addressed, and time permitting, the Committee will discuss the following secondary design issues 1. The block wall that is proposed along the north properly Ime should be decorative and reflect the architecture of the buildings 2. Parking Space #40 for Budding C may conflict with the other adtacent parking spaces when a vehicle attempts to back out 3 No exterior downspouts are to be visible on any of the buildings 4 The employee eating areas should have trellises and furniture that can withstand the Santa Ana winds. 5. Landscape needs to be provided around trash enclosures 6 Parapets are to be high enough so as to screen all roof-mounted equipment Shrubs should screen transformers , Policy Issues The following items are a matter of Planning Commission policy and should be Incorporated into the protect design without discussion: Paint roll-up doors and service doors to match the building elevations. Staff Recommendation Staff recommends that the protect be rewsed and return forfurther review by the Design Review Committee as a regular agenda item. Desion Review Committee Action: Members Preseni Cristine McPhail, Pam Stewart, Nancy Fong Staff Planner Doug Fenn At the meeting, the applicant attempted to explain how they had addressed many of the mator issues The Committee stated that the design issues outline under the mator and secondary issues as listed m the report have not been addressed The Committee specifically expressed that each parcel shall meet the parking requirements. The Committee stated that leasing the adtacent MetroLmk land for outdoor storage and yard area would not be acceptable because the yard area would not be screened from wew The Committee instructed the applicant to redesign the protect and work out the many technical issues with staff before rescheduling the protect for a Design Review meeting The Committee empathized with the applicant, but informed him that he was trying to do too much on a small piece of land ~8 ~{ ~ I City of Rancho Cucamonga Planning Diwslon (909)477-2750 uoisiniC 6mu~~e~~ e6uoweonC ououe~+lo `. ~ ENVIRONMENTAL IOGZ 9 ~ ~,`.~ INFORMATION FORM ,~ pania~aa (Pay I -Initial Study) '1'tie'purp~oset`of,,;thisform;is;,to'~inform-.the Ci#~t;ofi-'ilie4basicrycoinponents;~of~the~:paposed~ ~~m- ,,project~,so,tlat the City may~revi~ the protect pursuantMto~CityF polices; o~di ances~andy, guiilelines,,the California Environmental Qual>I~;Act, and the City~~~R~~e~a~n~~cedu~es'' #o°I_mplement~CEG1A~`I't:is im,porta`n't+#Fiat ttis` infoiination.requested ~z#h'~5~a'p~,, ication~ti~~.~ -i, f_r '/`, '„o''.'°~ ?`'E y, °.``ku??'u x",~ rr`S nk:>~~, ,,f''="_y ,j. -'s. ~' iR`~., N~,~.~'._ +z'"~'~ n~ piO~ld@C~~1~1'fU~i ;: uS,,~-.~=~ , E t 3 tk.?#4 ~- '=h.~ ' :±,.~,~z.n~ ~r~..x '~ ~~ '`~N^ _ ''i~'~3 {~~rttb~ reek ~ .;`~, ~4`-~'" 5z~~r, r'r' '~_' ~.~ w p~M1(` tip`, .:4i,.

Comments. a) The protect site is located in an area developed with industrial and office/professional uses The site has been previously disrupted during annual discing for weed abatement According to the General Plan Exhibit IV-3, and Section 5 3 of the General Plan FEIR, the protect site is not within an area of sensitive biological resources b) If the proposed protect were approved, then the applicant would be required to develop the site in accordance with the City of Rancho Cucamonga General Plan The 2001 General Plan was adopted along with the certification of a Program FEIR, Findings of Fact, and a Statement of Overriding Considerations for significant adverse environmental effects of build- out in the City and Sphere of Influence The City made findings that adoption of the General Plan would result in significant adverse effects to aggregate resources, prime farmland, air quality, the acoustical environment, library services, and aesthetics and visual resources Mitigation measures were adopted for each of these resources, however, they would not reduce impacts to less-than-significant levels As such, the City adopted a Statement of Overriding Considerations balancing the benefits of development under the General Plan Update against the significant unavoidable adverse impacts (CEQA Guidelines Section 15092 and 15096(h)) These benefits include less overall traffic volumes by developing mixed-use protects that will be pedestrian friendly and conservation of valuable natural open space With these findings and the Statement of Overriding Considerations, no further discussion or evaluation of cumulative impacts Is required c) Development of the site under the proposed land use change would not cause substantial adverse effects on human beings, either directly or indirectly The Initial Study identifies construction-related emissions of criteria pollutants as having a potentially significant impact Proposed mitigation measures would further reduce emission levels Additionally, impacts resulting from air quality would be short-term and would cease once construction activities were completed The Initial Study identified potentially significant impacts associated with the exposure of people to increased noise levels Mitigation measures contained in this Initial Study will ensure impacts are at less-than-significant levels Initial Study for
