D Site Characteristics The Southern Pacific (former PaGfic Electhc Railway) comdor bisects the
middle of the City of Rancho Cucamonga ingenerally aneast-west direction The rails have
been removed and this abandoned comdor has become blighted and has caused law
enforcement, weed abatement, and fire protection problems The comdor contains non-native
and ruderal plant speaes The Casa de Cucamonga (a County Museum listed in the National
Register of Historic Places) adjoins the south side of the comdor, east of Vineyard Avenue
The historic Etiwanda Station adjoins the comdor's north side at Etiwanda Avenue
ANALYSIS The protect will eliminate problems of blight, crime, and property damage associated
with the current abandoned status of the railroad comdor Current burdens upon City enforcement
services would be dramatically reduced and the overall appearance would be significantly improved
Implementation of the protect will reduce traffic in the commurnty and region by providing for
alternative forms of transportation, will establish an attractive recreational faality, link other bicycle,
pedestrian, and equestrian trails in the City and the region, and provide a means of direct access to
the City's largest planned park, nearby parks, schools, and shopping centers
The project includes the potential acgwsition or lease of the Casa de Cucamonga and Etiwanda
Station for use as trailhead facilities The existing Casa de Cucamonga parking lot is suitable if
resealed and striped The Etiwanda Station sits on 4 acres of land sutable for parking and trail rest
area faalities The Station could be renovated into a Pacific Electric Railway museum
RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends that the Commission, by minute action, forward a
recommendation of approval to the City Council

Initial Study for City of Rancho Cucamonga
Paafic Electric Inland Empire Trail Page 9
Comments:
a-d) Since 1981, the City of Rancho Cucamonga's General Plan has identified a
planned trail system to provide a network of interconnecting off-road trails that
are integrated with recreation and open space, both within and beyond the
community border The hiking/riding trail system is also intended to connect the
residential and commercial activity centers, as well as the system of on-street
bicycle trails The regional trails traversing the commercial and industrial areas
of the City also provide a safe and convenient opportunity for bicycling to work,
to shop or for recreation
The regional trail serves as the backbone of the public trail system, they are
reserved, long distance corridors that serve as the main connection, connecting
regional parks, major open spaces, residential, commercial, and industrial
areas The regional trails mainly follow flood control channels, utility corridors,
and specifically, the former Pacific Electric Railway right-of-way corridor
The proposed project is the development of approximately seven miles of a rail-
trail which is part of the larger Pacific Electric Inland Empire Trail, a proposed
Class Imulti-purpose trail that follows the existing railroad corridor, traversing
east-west across cities in western San Bernardino County, including the City of
Rancho Cucamonga. The City of Rancho Cucamonga is the lead agency,
partnering with Caltrans, SANBAG and surrounding cities in developing the
Master Plan for the entire 21-mile length of the corridor
The City has initially applied for a grant from the Statewide Transportation
Enhancements Program to design and construct three miles of the regional tratl
(between Haven Avenue and a point approximately 1,200 feet east of Etiwanda
Avenue) and acgwre the historic Etiwanda Rail Station which would be
preserved as a museum and used as a transportation park-n-ride and/or staging
area for the trail The development of the Trail and preservation of the Etiwanda
Station implements the goals of the City General Plan and the Pacific Electric
Inland Empire Trail Master Plan

Comments:
a/b) The Trail runs adjacent and parallel to the Red HIII Fault within aCity-adopted
Special Study Zone at the west side of the City. Beginning near the intersection
of Arrow Highway and Grove Avenue, the Trail and fault are parallel through the
length of the Special Study Zone, which ends near the intersection of Foothill
Boulevard and Vineyard Avenue. At this point the Trail takes a more northerly
angle, separating from the inferred fault zone as it continues northeasterly
through the city. The location of the Red Hill Scarp has been determined by
several studies completed in the immediate area, however, they were unable to
determine whether the fault is active The Red Hill Scarp is on a trend with the
Etiwanda Avenue Scarp, which is clearly active, as well as the San Jose Fault,
which caused both the 1988 and 1990 Upland earthquakes Since the Trail is
parallel to, but does not cross the fault within the Special Study Zone,
destruction of facilities is not likely to occur due to fault rupture However, the
City, as well as the region, is susceptible to ground shaking and a maximum
credible earthquake of 7 0 along the Cucamonga fault, located along the
northern City boundary, can be expected Adhering to the Uniform Building
Code for the construction of all facilities along the Trail will ensure that geologic
impacts are less than significant
The Trail turns to a completely east-west orientation near Archibald Avenue,
north of Base Line Road, and then crosses the inferred location of the Red Hill

fault north of Base Line Road, near the intersection of Haven Avenue and
Valencia Avenue The inferred segment of the Red Hill fault is drawn on
published maps and the City General Plan Exhibit V-1, to connect the Red Hdl
and Etiwanda Avenue scarps Published locations for this segment of the fault
vary as much as 1,000 feet, and subsurface explorations for the fault have found
no evidence of its existence Therefore, mitigation through this zone is only
regwred for cnUcal facddies.
Trail construction will not include the development any critical faalities, and no
mitigation will be necessary The Etiwanda Station is an existing structure that
will be preserved as a museum As part of the restoration of the Station and
Casa de Cucamonga, the City Building Official will determine the potential need
to retrofit the bwldings to meet current building codes for earthquake safety
The Depot is located approximately two miles south of the Etiwanda Avenue
Scarp, which is assumed to be an extension of the Red Hdl Fault, and
approximately three miles south of the Cucamonga Fault Zone
~..J
c-i) Slopes along the Trail corridor are typically less than 10 percent, therefore, no
special hazards due to slope failure, landslides, mudslides, or erosion are
present along the mafority of the Trail However, the Trail section along the base
of Red Hill is up to 30 percent natural slope Since there will be no habitable
structures, and the Trail is intended for pedestrian, bicycle and equestrian usage
only, no motorized vehicles or heavy equipment (except during construction),
the existing slope will not be compromised Similar to large portions of western
San Bernardino County, geologic conditions through the corridor include alluvial
material and older alluvial fan deposits formed on granitic alluvwm of the valley
floor. The corridor does not contain any unique geographical features or
constraints due to unstable soils, therefore, adhering to the City grading
standards and the Uniform Budding Code for the construction of any structures
along the Trail will ensure that geologic impacts are less than significant.

Comments:
a/b) The protect will cause minor changes in absorption rates, drainage patterns, and
the rate and amount of surface water runoff due to the amount of new
hardscape proposed on the currently unpaved corridor, approximately 85 acres
Surface runoff from the Trail will be channeled to existing storm drains to the
satisfaction of the City Engineer The Trail passes through segments of the
100-year flood zone in the following locations. near the intersection of Arrow
Route and Grove Avenue and along Grove Avenue, along Foothill Boulevard at
the base of Red Hill, and at Haven Avenue Since there will be no habitable
structures, and the Trail is intended for pedestrian, bicycle and equestrian usage
only, no motorized vehicles or heavy equipment, Trail development within the
Flood zone would not result in a public safety hazard The future Casa de
Cucamonga park-n-ride facility may require development of a new parking lot for
up to 40 automobiles, including "pull-through spaces for vehicles with horse
trailers; for a combined total of approximately four acres of impervious surface.
c-i) The proposed Trail corridor Etiwanda Station and Casa de Cucamonga do not
pass near any body of water Prior to construction, a grading plan will be
prepared illustrating how stormwater runoff will be conveyed The protect will not
interfere with groundwater management practices in the area as the corridor is
not used for groundwater recharge.

a) During construction, there is the possibility of fugitive dust to be emitted from
grading the Trail alignment, an area of approximately 85 acres, and
development of the parking lot and related facilities for the proposed park-n-ride,
approximately four acres, for a total of 89 acres. Sources of emissions during
construction include exhaust emissions from construction vehicles and equipment
and fugitive dust generated as a result of construction vehicles and equipment
traveling over exposed surfaces Levels of PM,o will be minimized through the use
of standard construction watering procedures
The proposed protect was screened using the Urban Emissions Model
(URBEMIS7G) The criteria pollutants screened for included reactive organic
gases (ROG), nitrous oxides (NO^), carbon monoxide (CO), and particulates
(PM,o) Two of these, ROG and NO„ are ozone precursors Default values were
used where protect specific information was unavailable. Based on the estimated
amount of criteria pollutants to be emitted per day, construction emissions will not
exceed SCAOMD thresholds of significance However, since the South Coast Air
Basin is in non-attainment status for ozone and suspended particulates (PM,o)
standard construction conditions (i a application of water to the protect area) will
minimize the protect contribution to regional emission of criteria pollutants
Sensdive receptors in the area include residences adtacent to the proposed trail
During grading, fugitive dust (PM,o) will be generated Implementation of
construction conditions of approval will ensure impacts to sensitive receptors are
less than significant

Comments:
a-g) The proposed Trail protect is a toint effort between the City of Rancho
Cucamonga, Caltrans, SANBAG, and the cities of Claremont, Montclair, Upland,
Fontana, and Rialto in developing a Trail Master Plan fora 21-mile multi-
purpose trail linking ail the partner cities The planned ' rail trail' calls for the
preservation of a 45-foot corridor within the right-of-wa y for potential future
transit use and the integration of existing transportation infrastructure including
links to rail, bus, multi-modal stations, and local and regional bicycle and
pedestrian facilities.
The Master Plan also includes future transit links and multi-modal integration,
staging areas, greenway landscaping, the preservation of historical buildings
and transportation stations along the route, and the development of historical
monuments and markers to commemorate the Railway's history and enhance
the protect and the communities `livability' by potentially reducing the need for
vehicle trips within the community. The protect will serve a broad transportation

e) Wildlife dispersal or migration corridors () () () (x)
Comments•
a) The areas within the City that may provide habitat for endangered, threatened,
or rare species are the North Etiwanda area, (beyond the urban areas), the non-
channelized portions of the major drainage ways of Cucamonga, Deer, Day,
Etiwanda and San Sevaine creeks and those areas underlain by Delhi sand soil
These areas may provide habitat for the Delhi sands flower-loving fly (DSFLF),
coastal California gnatcatcher (CAGN), the San Bernardino kangaroo rat
(SBKR) or other species of concern, such as the Los Angeles pocket mouse
and Plummer's mariposa lily
The proposed trail follows the former Pacific Electric Rail Road alignment and is
south of the North Etiwanda area The mafor creeks have been improved with
concrete linings and the Trail crosses these channels via bridges The Trail
does not cross any areas of Delhi sands
The Trail is a clearly defined corridor vegetated with non-native and/or ruderal
species The Trail improvements will be constructed along the outside 15 to
20 feet of both sides of the corridor, with a 45 foot space in the center to be
landscaped and reserved for potential future transit use The area around the
existing Etiwanda Station is currently used as a building materials storage yard
with no open space for vegetative growth

b) There are no locally designated speces, (eucalyptus windrows) or habitats
along the trail alignment.
c) The only designated natural community occurring in the protect vianity is sage
scrub, which occurs along the non-channelized portions of the mafor creeks and
in the north Etiwanda area Throughout the protect wcinity there are vacant lots
which may contain some elements of the scrub community but typically do not
exhibit the necessary components of habitat for listed species, trees or large
shrubs for nesting or floodway terraces (i.e CAGN and SBKR). These areas
are isolated from habitat areas, are subfect to disturbance from surrounding
urban uses and are generally post disturbance communities
d) There are no wetlands (marshes, vernal pools, etc.) in the protect wcinity The
only riparian areas in the City are along the non-channelized portions of the
mafor creeks, which are typically 2 5 miles northerly of the Trail.
e) The only areas that serve to provide wildlife dispersal areas are the North Etiwanda
area and the mafor drainage ways which are located typically 2 5 miles, or more,
northerly of the Trail

wastes along the corridor There was no indication of underground storage
tanks or illegal dumping of refuse on-site The proposed protect will not pose a
health hazard or increase the risk of exposure to a potential health hazard to the
community along the Trail corridor.
The site of the Etiwanda Station is currently used for storage of wood building
materials Depending on the types and age of materials currently stored on site,
there may be some hazardous materials. A Phase I Site Assessment should be
conducted on this site.

collected in small receptacles at transfer points and staging points along the
corridor There would be no significant impact to any public services or utilities
upon implementation of the Master Plan multi-use Trail Development of the
Etiwanda Station as a museum and Casa de Cucamonga as a future park-n-ride
facility would have minimal impact on public services
There are existing underground (i.e water Imes) and overhead (i.e
telecommunication lines and poles) utility lines that may regwre relocation within
the corridor during construction of the Trail The presence of underground
pipelines will be discussed with affected service providers prior to construction
This is not considered to be an environmental impact.

Comments•
a-e) The Etiwanda Depot was constructed in 1915 and was one of three that were
built by the Pacific Electric Railway Company to serve the newly completed
Upland to San Bernardino Line, and was identified in the Pacific Electric Inland
Empire Trait Master Plan as an important historic landmark The structure is an
excellent example of Mission style architecture It was used by the railroad
beginning in the early 1900's, and is one of the few original stations still
remaining As the citrus industry declined, so did use of this line This depot
was closed in 1960 and has since been leased for a lumber supply and sales
yard
The Depot represents an opporturnty to create a museum about the Pacific
Electric Railway and a signature trailhead location. The depot is in the heart of
Etiwanda and is in close proximity to other historic structures The proposed
protect includes the preservation of the rail corridor and the Etiwanda Station.
Proposed improvements to the site include restoration of the depot, street
improvements, parking for approximately 40 vehicles (including vehicles pulling
trailers for equestrian use), landscaping and lighting, and improvements
associated with the trailhead which would include restrooms, picnic tables,
bicycle racks, and an equestrian staging area.
The City is also exploring the use of parking at Casa de Cucamonga (a County
Museum listed in the National Register of Historic Places) as a trail head. The
Casa De Cucamonga is located on the south side of the Trail, on the east side
of Vineyard/Carnelian The use of the museum would be a mutually benefiaal
relationship because it would promote visitors to the museum as well as the
Trail The museum site is already fully developed including a large parking lot.

Comments:
a/b) Since 1981, the City of Rancho Cucamonga General Plan has identified a
planned system of trails to provide a network of interconnecting off-road trails
that are integrated with recreation and open space, both within and beyond the
community border The hiking/nding trail system is also intended to connect the
residential, commercial and industnal activity centers, as well as the system of
on-street bicycle trails The regional trails traversing the commercial and
industrial areas of the City also provide a safe and convenient opportunity for
bicycling to work or to shop The proposed Trail is a Class I multi-use bicycle,
pedestrian, and separated equestrian trail located within the Pacific Electrc
Railroad nght-of-way which would be an implementation of the recreational
goals of the City General Plan

Pacific Electnc Inland Empire Trad Page 23
Comments:
a-d) This Pacific Electnc Inland Empire Trail (Trail) is a proposed Class I multi-
purpose trail that follows old Pacific Electric corridor east-west across the City,
connecting to the cities of Claremont, Montclair, Upland, Rancho Cucamonga,
Fontana, and Rialto During construction, there is the possibility of fugitive dust
to be emitted from grading the trail alignment Sources of emissions during this
phase include exhaust emissions from construction vehicles and equipment and
fugitive dust generated as a result of construction vehicles and egwpment
traveling over exposed surfaces Levels of PM~o will be minimized through the
use of standard construction watering procedures Any remaining open space
lands are isolated from native habitat and known occurrences of endangered
species, such as kangaroo rat or California gnat-catcher. Due to the level of
development m the surrounding area, and the lack native habitat that could
support endangered speces, the impact is considered less than significant No
major infrastructure will be developed that would be considered growth induang
within the community

No The proposed trail will be located wrthm railroad right-of--way and does not fall wrthm a sole
source aquifer
4) Is the project within the State Coastal Zone?
No The project site ~s located m San Bemardmo County approximately 60 miles east of the
Pacific Ocean
5) Is the construction area located within a regulatory tloodway?
Yes The Trail passes through segments of the 100-year flood zone m the following locations.
near the intersection of Arrow Route and Grove Avenue and along Grove Avenue, along Foothill
Boulevard at the base of Red Hill; and at Haven Avenue Since there will be no habitable
structures, and the Trail ~s intended for pedestrian, bicycle and equestrian usage only, no
motorized vehicles or heavy egwpment, Trail development wrthm the Flood zone would not
result to a public safety hazard
6) Is the project within or immediately adjacent to a Wild and Scenic River System?
No The proposed trail follows the former Pacific Electric Rail Road alignment The major
creeks in the area are ephemeral and have been improved with concrete lm~ngs. The Trail crosses
these channels via bridges
7) Is there a potential for afederally-listed, threatened, or endangered species?
No The Trail ~s a clearly defined comdor vegetated with non-native and/or ruderal species. The
Trail improvements will be constructed along the outside 15 to 20 feet of both sides of the
comdor, with a 45 foot space in the center to be landscaped and reserved for potential future
transit use (not reasonably foreseeable and not a part of this project) The area around the
aye
existing Etiwanda Station ~s currently used as a bu~ldmg materials storage yard with no open
space for vegetative growth
8) Is there a potential of wetlands within the construction area?
No There are no wetlands (marshes, vernal pools, etc.) m the project vrc~mty. The only riparian
areas m the City are along the non-channehzed portions of the mayor creeks, which are typically
2 5 miles northerly of the Trail.

farmland pursuant to Farmland Mapping and Momtonng Program of Cahfom~a Resources
Agency.
13) Is there a potential for Hazardous Materials within the construction area?
An environmental site assessment (ESA) was conducted for the Metropolitan Transportation
Agency (MTA) prior to purchasing the property. The ESA ~dentrfied area where clean up would
be required The City of Rancho Cucamonga is proposing to remodel and upgrade the grounds
of the Etiwanda to loin it into a museum, related to the history of the Pacific Electric Rarlway
Prior to any disturbance of the building or site, the City will have the property assessed to
aye
determine ~f any hazardous matenals are present Appropnate cleanup of the site and building
will be undertaken pnor to occupancy

18) Will the project be in need of public services other than those presently proposed?
No Public services and utilrt~es aze available
19) Will the project involve changes in access control?
Yes. The ultimate design of the Tnal includes a hierarchy of street crossings to control access
based upon traffic volume and speed The Pacific Electnc Inland Empire Trail will have a total
of 18 crossings over its 7 mile length m the City of Rancho Cucamonga Grade separations will
be provided at Foothill Boulevard, Camehan Avenue, V~ctona Park Lane, and I-15 Freeway (all
have ex~stmg bndges). The ma~onty of access control will be signalized, which includes. Grove
Avenue, Baseline Road, Archbald Avenue, Hermosa Avenue, Haven Avenue, Mtll~ken Avenue,
Rochester Avenue, Day Creek Boulevazd, Ehwanda Avenue, and East Avenue The remaining
lower volume streets will ut~hze flashing beacons for traffic control, including Hellman Avenue,
Amethyst Street, Ramona Avenue, and Kenyon Way
20) Will the project involve the use of a temporary road, detour or ramp closure?
No The proposed project will be developed on an ex~stmg railroad nght-of--way
. 21) Will the project reduce available parking?
P~y3
No. The trail master plan includes future transit hnks and staging areas so no parking will be •
affected
22) Will the project require future construction to fully utilize the design capabilities
included in the proposed project?
No. The protect will be designed for full ut~hzation of bicycle, pedestnan and equestnan
facilmes.
23) Will the project generate public controversy based on potential environmental
effects?
No The proposed trail would use an abandoned railroad nght-of--way. Dunng preparatton of the
Trail Master Plan, there was an extensive public outreach program that included public
workshops on June 8 and July 20, 2000 In addition, survey forms were dtstnbuted throughout
the Master Plan study area and posted on the Trail's webs~te. Over 500 responses were received,
all m support of the Tnal, and no environmental issues were rased
24) Will project construction encroach on State or Federal Lands?
No The length of the protect falls within the railroad nght-of--way
25) Is there National Register listed or potentially eligible historic properties within the
construction area?
Yes Casa de Cucamonga ~s fisted on the National Register of H~stonc Places (N1UIP-L-73-428).
Use of the sae's ex~stmg parking lot as a trailhead by trail users ~s likely to increase awareness
of, and v~srtors to, this important h~stonc museum The proposed use will not affect the mtegnty
of the h~stonc building or grounds.

assoaated wrth the use of the Etrvvanda Station for preservation as a museum as a park-n-ride or staging area
for the Trail is approwmately 4 acres, for a total of 89 acres of development
FINDING
This is to advise that the City of Rancho Cucamonga, acting as the lead agency, has conducted an
InRial Study to determine 'rf the protect may have a signrficant effect on the environment and is
proposing this Negative Declaration based upon the following finding:
® The In~6al Study shows that there is no substantial evidence that the protect may have a significant
effect on the environment
~ The Initial Study identified potentially signficant effects but
(1) Revisions m the protect plans or proposals made or agreed to by the applicant before this
proposed Negative Declaration was released for public reviewwould avob the effects or mitgate
the effects to a point where clearly no signifiaant effects would occur, and
(2) There is no substantial evidence before the agency that the protect as revised may have a
significant effect on the environment
ff adopted, the Negative Declaration means that an Environmental Impact Report will not be required.
Reasons to support this finding are included in the attached Initial Study. The projedfile and all related
documents are available for review at the City of Rancho Cucamonga Planning Division at 70500 Civic
Center Drive (909) 477-2750 or Fax (909) 477-2847.

SUBJECT. TIME EXTENSION FOR DEVELOPMENT REVIEW 99-04 - S AND D RANCHO
CUCAMONGA, LTD - A time extension requestfor an approved development review
fora 3-story, 34,850 square foot hotel and associated master planned development
on 5 acres of land in the Industrial Park District (Subarea 7), located on the south
side of Foothill Boulevard between Aspen and Spruce Streets - APN: 208-352-88
thru 91. Related files. Conditional Use Permit 00-38 (Chipotle) and Conditional Use
Permit DRC2001-00203
BACKGROUND The Planning Commission approved the subtect protect on March 23, 1999 At
that time, development reviews were approved for atwo-year time period with a provision for time
extension to a maximum overall time period of five years Since then the Development Code has
been amended to provide five-year approval periods for development reviews with no provisions for
time extension The proposed time extension would therefore bring the approval penod for the
protect into conformance with current Development Code requirements
The site has been rough graded, the main east to west and north to south driveway spines have
been installed, and two of the five master planned buildings have been constructed (a dental office
and the Kinko's at the northwest corner--lust east of Applebee's restaurant) On February 28 of this
year, the Planning Commission approved Conditional Use Permit 00-38 for a Chipotle restaurant
and a fast food drive-thru restaurant on the northeastern pad.
Environmental Assessment• The Planning Commission issued a Negative Declaration with approval
of the protect on March 23, 1999 A second Negative Declaration was issued with approval of the
Chipotle protect (Conditional Use Permit 00-38). The site has been rough graded, most street
improvements have been installed, and two of five master planned buildings are constructed No
further environmental review is necessary for the requested time extension

ANALYSIS
A General The hotel is intended to serve business travelers It would rely on restaurant and
. consumer service uses in the vanity rather than providing them within the hotel At this time,
the other three buildings are antiapated to be a restaurant, retail, and business services The
project will take primary access from Foothill Boulevard, however, access is also available
from Aspen Street to the west, Laurel Street to the south, and Spruce Avenue to the east
The hotel budding is proposed to have stucco, brick veneer, and copper roofing The use of
brick veneer and copper roofing is intended to compliment the Applebee's restaurant
architecture to the northwest
B Design Review Committee The Committee (McNiel, Stewart, Henderson) reviewed the
protect on March 2, 1999 and requested revisions The Committee (McNiel, Stewart,
Henderson) again reviewed the protect on March 16, 1999, and recommended approval with
conditions (see Exhibit "G")
C Technical Review Committee The Technical and Grading Review Committees reviewed the
protect and recommended approval sub/ect to the conditions outlined m the attached
Resolution of Approval
D Environmental Assessment The applicant completed Part I of the Initial Study and staff has
completed Part II Staff has found that there may be a significant noise impact caused by
traffic on Foothill Boulevard and Laurel Street A noise study was required to address noise
levels and identify mitigation The report found that the traffic noise would be reduced to
acceptable levels of the wall and window construction proposed by the protect The site is
identified as potential Delhi Sands Flower Loving Fly (DSF) habitat A biological assessment
. was conducted which indicates that the site is not swtable DSF habitat No mitigation is
necessary If the Planning Commission concurs with these findings, then issuance of a
Negative Declaration would be appropriate

Arequest to build a 3-story, 34,860 square foot hotel as part of a master planned development with
three other retatl buildings on 5 acres of land in Subarea 7 (Industrial Park) of the Industrial Area
Speafic Plan located on the south side of Foothill Boulevard between Aspen and Spruce Streets -
APN 208-352-82 Related File Parcel Map 15282
Desion Parameters The site has frontage on both Foothill Boulevard and Laurel Street with existing
curb and gutter improvements on both streets The site has been rough graded and slopes at
approximately 3 to 4 percent from north to south, with a 14 foot grade difference from Foothill
Boulevard to Laurel Street Slopes are proposed along the south side of Foothill Boulevard (down
slope) and along the north side of Laurel Street (up slope) to accommodate the grade Slopes along
street frontages present a design challenge for screening of parking areas due to the difficulty of
providing berms, and a challenge for regwred handicap access This is espeaally true along the
Laurel Street frontage where the site (parking areas) is elevated above the street
The exterior walls of the hotel building are proposed to have stucco and decorative block veneer
treatment Asphalt shingle roofing is proposed due to its lighter weight in comparison to concrete file
The applicant contends that the roof planes will not be visible due to the height of the building,
however, staff respectfully disagrees because the building will be visible from Foothill Boulevard and
other public streets
Staff Comments The following comments are intended to provide an outline for Committee
discusswn
Major Issues The following broad design issues will be the focus of Committee discussion regarding
this project
Replace fluted block veneer and split face block veneer with brick veneer for a richer look
consistent with Applebee's to the northwest Brick would also complement the copper roofing
proposed
2 Eliminate composition shingle as roofing and replace with flat concrete file
Secondary Issues Once all of the mayor issues have been addressed, and time permitting, the
Committee will discuss the following secondary design issues
1 Provide variation and undulation in slopes along street frontages to eliat a softer, more natural
appearance Also suggest varying slope grade and rounding off top and toe of slope Intent
of Industrial Area Speafic Plan is to create 3-foot high berms to screen parking
2 Copper roofing shall be real copper as opposed to copper-looking metal roof product
3 The main hotel entrance on the east side of the building should have a double door foyer
design to help mitigate strong Santa Ana winds
4 Provide dense tree planting around main hotel entry to enhance entry statement and protect
area from strong Santa Ana winds
5 Provide tall, vertical trees, such as Mexican Fan Palms, along north and east sides of hotel
between building and driveways

6 Provide intensified landscaping, including hedgerow planting and low walls along the Laurel
Street frontage to screen views of parking areas from the street
7 Decorative dnveway and pathway pavng shall match that of Applebee's Maionty of Foothill
Boulevard entrance dnveway throat should have decorative paving
8 Enclose pool/spa area with a decorative masonry wall and/or wrought iron fence
9 Provide a clearer pedestnan connection from the large parking area to the east and the main
hotel entrance Also, consider a pergola extending from the copper roof entry element out into
the parking area to further enhance the entry statement
10 Provide a sidewalk, with handicap ramps and striped crosswalks, connecting all three pads
along Foothill Boulevard
11 Provide ADA handicap access, with maximum 5 percent grade, to connect from public sidewalk
on Foothill Boulevard to on-site (see Comment #10 above)
12 pedestnan pathways appear to be approximately 3 feet in width, which is very tight Suggest
at least 4 to 5 feet of width and provision of occasional "nodes" with benches or similar along
the paths
• 13 Eliminate 3-foot wide pathway along east side of building, which leads to nowhere and replace
with landscaping
14 All roof drainage fixtures shall be located inside the bwldmg No exterior down spouts or other
drainage fixtures
15 Trash enclosure on south side of bwldmg should be as decorative as possible given proximate
to Laurel Street
Policv Issues The following items are a matter of Planning Commission policy and should be
incorporated into the protect design without discussion
Any roof-mounted egwpment, such as HVAC, satellite dishes or other form of communication
fixtures shall be completely screened through the use of decorative walls that are incorporated
into the bwldmg architecture
Provide, at a mmwm, one tree per 30 linear feet of budding wall exposed to public view, one
tree per 30 linear feet of site perimeter, and one tree per 3 parking spaces to provide shade
Staff Recommendation Staff recommends that the protect be revised per the above comments and
be brought back for further review

Comments:
a) The U S Flsh and Wildlife Service Identifies the prolect area as potential habitat for
the Delhi Sands Flower Loving Fly (DSF) As a result, habitat assessment and
biological survey were required to determine potential impacts to the DSF habitat
These surveys, which were conducted by a biologist permitted by the U S Fish and
Wildlife Service to conduct surveys for DSF Results of the surveys (Tierra Madre
Consultants, Inc, December 28, 1998) indicated that the site does not contain
adequate DSF habitat since there is a lack of actual Delhi series sods present, the
site has been disturbed through rough grading practices, and there are not extensive
areas of exposed sand No other unique, rare, or endangered animal species are
known to be located on the prolect site

Comments:
a) The prolect will mcrease existing noise levels because the site is currently vacant
However, the mcrease will be nominal in relation to ex~stmg surrounding

b) According to Figure V-9 of the General Plan, the site is subject to future noise levels
between 60 and 65 dB CNEL New construction may only be undertaken after a
detailed analysis of the noise reduction regwrements is made and needed noise
insulation features included m the prolect design A noise study was conducted
(P A Pardini and Assoaates, February 26, 1999) which indicated that the maximum
ultimate exterior traffic noise level impacting the building is 65 td6 CNEL which
results m a maximum interior noise level of 40 dB CNEL with windows closed The
building is proposed to have closed windows with individual air conditioning units for
each room Therefore, the traffic noise is mitigated via prolect design The impact is
not considered significant

BACKGROUND The Planning Commission approved the subject nightclub and sports bar on
December 10, 1997. The applicant opened the nightclub and sports bar in February of 2000. In
October 2000, the applicant received Planning Commission approval for an Increase in hours of
operation so that the club may stay open until 2 00 a.m., seven nights a week.
Earlier this year, the Twins Club was violating their permit by serving underage patrons for several
months After several Police and Flre calls, as well as a request from the Planning Division to cease
the underage service, the applicant compiled and discontinued doing so The applicant has since
developed a control plan, and is now officially requesting to be allowed to serve patrons 18 years
and older on Tuesday and Thursday nights, and for renewal of their current Entertainment
Permit 00-02.
COMPLAINT HISTORY:
. A. Nelohborhood Issues: The business is surrounded to the north and east by single-family
residences, and to the west by a convenience store and transient apartments. During the first
few months of operation, staff received complaints from George Guidera, the property owner
to the east of the Twins Club Mr Guidera again complained in October of 2000, lust after the

Planning Commission's last action on the protect about trash being thrown over the Twins
Club's easterly fence line onto his property, irrigation overspray, overgrown weeds on the
club's site, and excessive glare from its security lighting. Staff investigated the complaints and
found many of them to be true. The Twins Club operators were contacted and made a verbal
commitment to resolve the situation Since that time, the Twins Club has installed a low wall
along the east property line, and re-aimed the irrigation to spray west instead of east to
mitigate overspray Additionally, they have re-aimed the security lighting to avoid casting glare
to the east, and have offered to Mr. Gwdera to have Twins Club staff clean up any trash that
gets tossed over the fence, however, Mr. Guidera has refused. Staff has not heard from Mr.
Guidera since October of 2000
Mr Gilbert Ramos, owner of the "stone house° lust east of the Twins Club complained in
February of this year about trash and debris in the drainage swale along the east side of the
Twins bwlding, loud music with the back door open at night time, and fights and yelling in the
parking area. The Twins Club said they pay special attention to maintaining the cleanliness of
the swale area along the east side of the building, and also have a security guard patrol this
area several times a night. Mr. Ramos has not complained again about these problems
Finally, staff received a complaint from a homeowner on Hampshire Street, south of the
B C Cafe (they would not provide name or address for fear of retribution) about Twins Club
patrons parking in the B C. Cafe parking lot who yell and fight, and toss trash over into the rear .
yards of homes along Hampshire Street Staff notified the Twins Club aboutthe problem, who
then provided security guards to patrol the B.C. Cafe parking lot to try and discourage patrons
from continwng to use the parking lot The Twins Club claim that for the past two months no
patrons have used the B.C. Cafe parking lot, however, the proposed security plan (Exhibit "B°)
indicates two security guards stationed at the B.C Cafe parking lot Allowance of underage
patrons is expected to result in pressure for overflow parking.
The security plan (Exhibit °B") indicates that, "smokers must smoke outside the club in the
designated enclosed smoking area to the north side of the club", however, no such outdoor
smoking area is shown on the approved Site Plan associated with Conditional Use
Permit 97-23 The outdoor area constitutes an expansion of operations resulting in even
further demand for parking spaces, while simultaneously reducing the number of parking
spaces available (the smoking area takes up two parking spaces, at least one of which is
designated for handicapped). The removal of two parking spaces does not conflict with code
requirements for parking, but it exacerbates the demand for overflow parking as noted above.
B Site Maintenance Upon submittal of the application, staff noticed several areas of missing or
poorly maintained landscaping, weeds, and paint overspray (pilasters). Staff discussed this
with the applicant, and it was agreed that the overall site would be brought up to higher
standards and the specific items addressed.
C. Code Enforcement. Records show some complaints earlier this year regarding loud music
and graffiti These complaints have been resolved.
ANALYSIS The Twins Club is requesting to be allowed to serve patrons 18 years of age and older .
in a nightclub. Typically this type of activity is strongly discouraged in a nightclub environment due
to obvious potential problems of increased demand on Police and Fire services The Club Matnxx
operation made a similar request in October of 2000, but the request was denied due partly to a
C.kD 2

concern that, "histoncally, businesses that allow after-hours activitywith under-aged patrons have a
high instance of disturbances and vandalism, and a wide vanety of other problems" (Planning
Commission Staff Report dated October 11, 2000) The Twins Club operated for some six months
earlier this year with under-aged service, and there were at least two disturbance related instances
due to drunken underage patrons on-site that resulted in Police and Fire calls for service.
The Twins propose to control under-aged dunking by marking those under 21 years of age with a
large black "X" on the back of each hand, color wnst bands with one color worn by of-age patrons
and another byunder-aged patrons, and invisible fluorescent ink (visible under black light) spread
across the knuckles of each hand for those who are under age The Twins Club also propose eight
secunty guards indoors and five outside the club (including one immediately outside the entrance
and one in the smoking area) plus two guards in the B C Cafe parking lotforoverflowcrowds. Note
the attached secunty plan provided by the applicant (Exhibit "B")
Shared Parking Twins Club indicate they have an agreement with the owner of the B C Cafe for
shared use of the parking lot for overFlow purposes The Development Code allows shared padang
only under the following cntena
1. Shared Parking Parking facilities may be used tointly with parking facilities for
other uses when operations are not normally conducted dunng the same hours, or
when hours of peak use vary Requests for the use of shared parking are subtect
. to the approval of the City Planner and must meet the following conditions
a A parking study shall be presented to the City Planner demonstrating that
substantial conflict will not exist in the prinapal hours or periods of peak
demand for the uses which the toint use is proposed [No study has been
submitted ]
b The number of parking stalls which may be credited against the
regwrements for the structures or uses involved shall not exceed the number
of parking stalls reasonably anticipated to be available dunng diffenng hours
of operation [No study has been submitted to determine availability ]
c Parking facilities designated fortoint use should not be located further than
300 hundred feet from any structure or use served [The matonty of the B C
Cafe parking is more than 300 feet from Twins j
d A wntten agreement shall be drawn to the satisfaction of the City attorney,
and executed by all parties concerned assunng the continued availability of
the number of stalls designated for toint use [No agreement has been
submitted ]
Therefore, staff believes there is insuffiaent information at this Ume to support shared parking. Staff
is also concerned for the safety of potentially intoxicated patrons crossing Foothill Boulevard on foot
dunng nighttime hours One potential alternative is to allow shared parking through valet service
• only According to Fire Prevention regwrements, the maximum occupant load for the Twins Club is
300 people, but there are only 127 parking spaces provided (95 spaces are required per the
Development Code) A Condition of Approval requires the applicant to prowde additional on-site
parking spaces should existing parking be found insuffiaent to accommodate the operation. Staff

does not support action on the proposed security plan with the inclusion of the B C. Cafe parking lot
If the proposed use does m fact cause overflow parking, the requestto allow patrons under2l years
of age should be continued to allow the applicant to submit the required parking study and wntten
agreement. An option for the Planning Commission to consider would be to approve the request
believing that there is sufficient parking on-site and rely on the existing condition that regwres the
applicant to provide additional on-site parking spaces, should existing parking be found insufficient
to accommodate the operation.
Law Enforcement. The Police Department has met with the Twins Club operators, reviewed the
request and the associated security plan, and recommends approval of the request subject to a
30-day teal period m which the operation can be monitored (Exhibit "C") Police intend to conduct
bar checks in addition to possibly sending in undercover officers to ensure that the Twins Club is
abiding by the security/underage control plan they submitted Use of off-site overflow parking and
any resulting problems could also be monitored. The 30-day monitoring period would begin on the
first day of underage service W dlmgness by the Police Department to allow the proposed activity
on a 30-day monitoring program is the basis of staff support for the application.
CORRESPONDENCE: This item was advertised as a public hearing m the Inland Vallev Dady
Bulletin newspaper, the property was posted, and notices were mailed to all property owners within a
300-foot radws of the protect site
RECOMMENDATION. Staff recommends that the Planning Commission approve the requested •
modification to Conditional Use Permit 97-23 and Entertainment Permit 00-02, subject to a 30-day
momtonng period beginning on the first day of underage service.

Q: What are the city of Rancho Cucamonga's concerns?
A: Underage Drinking!
Q: How does Twins Club propose to control the underage drinking?
A: It starts when patrons first pull into the parking lot and are met with a
member of Twins security. They are on the lookout for patrons drinking in
their car before they enter the club. If anyone is caught, they are instructed to
leave the property and will not be allowed entrance to the club for the
evening. At the entrance, all patrons are required to show ID to a trained
security officer. Nobody will be allowed entrance without proper ID.
Patrons over 21 will have a customized colored wristband placed on them by
security. Patrons under 21 will be:
1) Marked with a large black X on the back of each hand
2) Will be given and customized colored wristband of a different color
3) Have invisible fluorescent ink spread across the knuckles of each hand
(the ink glows brightly under the black lights placed throughout the
entire club and cannot be washed off)
A $50 bounty is given out to every fake ID confiscated at the door. The
color of wristbands change nightly to prevent old wristbands from being
reused. All wristbands are numbered and accounted for at the beginning and
ending of each night.
Once inside the club, uniformed and undercover security are always on the
lookout for underage drinkers. A security guard is placed at the entrance of
each set of restrooms to ensure that no drinks are taken into the restrooms. If
a patron is found inside the club without a wristband, he or she will
immediately be asked for ID. If patron is over 21 they will be issued an
appropriate wristband. If the patron is under 21 they will be escorted out of
the building and off the property unable to return for the night. If and
underage drinker is caught drinking, everyone at a their table, regardless of
age, will be escorted out of the club and off the property.
~k~41~~ ~~°V,~ C~ D to
r 1
~,..J
To help prevent legal age patrons from buying drinks for their underage
friends, all shots must be done at the bar or in front of the waitress. All non-
alcoholic drinks will be served in identifiable glasses so security and other
employees can easily differentiate between alcoholic and non-alcoholic
drinks. It is every employee's duty to keep an eye out for underage drinkers.
A re-entry fee will be implemented to underage patrons to discourage them
from leaving the nightclub and drinking in their cars. Smokers must smoke
outside the club in the designated enclosed smoking area to the north side of
the club that is monitored at all times by security. Nobody can access their
car from the smoking azea.
We aze not trying to reinvent the wheel by having an 18 and over night.
Most major dance clubs in the Inland Empire do this already. In order to
maintain a competitive edge against the competition throughout the Inland
Empire, we feel it is imperative that we be able to compete on the same
playing field.
Q: If we allow 18 and over on Tuesdays and Thursdays, what will prevent
them from starting it up every night?
A: Twins club still plans on being a 21 and over club all other nights. We
understand the concerns the city has with an 18 and over night. We do not
want to jeopardize the relationship with the city and the future success of
Twins. We are willing to sign an agreement that states we must receive city
approval for any other additional 18 and over night or event any time other
than Tuesdays of Thursdays. Furthermore, this agreement would also state
the city and/or police department could revoke the 18 and over privileges at
any time for any reason they deem necessary. If any problems or concerns
arise we ask that we, the owners, be notified so we can address your
concerns in an effective and efficient manner.
Q: How will the city and/or police department know if Twins is abiding by
their stated promises/policies?
A: Twins Club welcomes and encourages announced as well as
unannounced police inspections to ensure we are abiding by the rules.
~~~~
Q: How are you going to keep out the "undesirable" clientele?
A: By having a greater clientele base (being 18 and over), we will have the
capability of selecting a more desirable "Twins" clientele. What's better,
picking the 10 best out of 20 or 10 best out of 100?
In conclusion, Twins wants nothing more than to be a successful business in
the City of Rancho Cucamonga that reflects the high standards the City has
set forth. We have lived in Alta Loma for 28 years and own the property
Twins Club is located. We plan on running a successful establishment for
years to come. We can only do this by building a strong relationship with the
ever-growing city of Ranch Cucamonga. We hope that this helps with any
questions or concerns you may have had with this promotion. Thank you for
your time and consideration in the matter.
Sincerely,
The Twins

Memorandum
DATE: September 17, 2001
TO: BRAD BULLER, CITY PLANNER
CITY OF RANCHO CUCAMONGA Qj
FROM: RODNEY R. HOOPS, CAPTAIN h/`,'~p~(~
RANCHO CUCAMONGA POLICE DEPARTMENT
SUBJECT: TWINS NIGHT CLUB
On August 6, 2001, at 1400 hours, Lieutenant Ron Cochran and I met with Eddie and
Robbie Lakkees at the Twins RestauranUClub, located at 10134 Foothill Blvd., in the
City of Rancho Cucamonga. Eddie and Robbie are the co-owners of Twins, in addition
• to the surrounding land where Twins is located.
Eddie and Robbie presented us with a proposal to open the Twins Night Club on
Tuesdays and Thursdays to a clientele of eighteen-year-olds and older. Their plan
detailed a comprehensive detailed security design, as well as a plan to prohibit under-
age dunking of alcohol on the two evenings that they proposed Their plan seemed to
be multi-faceted, with a number of strategies, which if implemented as proposed, should
alleviate any concerns the Rancho Cucamonga Police Department would have.
The plan began by discussing the security measures that the Twins Night Club would
take in the parking lot. The plan proposes to have at least three (3) security guards in
the main parking lot, and two (2) security guards in the BC Cafe parking lot. The
responsibility of the parking lot security guards would be to insure that there is no
drinking in vehicles prior to entering the Night Club If occupants of vehicles were found
to be drinking, they would be asked to leave the premises. The interior of the Club will
be manned by nine (9) uniformed and/or undercover security guards, whose main
responsibility would be to insure there is no underage drinking.
At the entrance of the Twins Night Club, all patrons would be required to show
identification to trained security guards. Patrons over twenty-one (21) would be affixed
with a customized, colored wristband, placed on them by security. Patrons under
twenty-one would be marked with a large black "X" on the back of their hand, affixed
with a colored wristband of a different color, and have invisible florescent ink spread
across the knuckles of each hand (the ink glows brightly under the black lights placed
throughout the entire Club and can not be washed off). Additionally, a bounty of $50
N~, CAD\\
isr~ c
TWINS NIGHT CLUB •

(Continued)
would be awarded to any security guard who found a fake identification card. The
wristbands would be changed on a nightly basis to prevent re-use and/or duplication.
Additionally, the wristbands would be numbered and accounted for at the beginning of
each night.
After meeting with Eddie and Robbie Lakkees and reviewing their proposed security
plan, it is my recommendation that the Twins Night Club be allowed athirty-day (30-
day) teal period, in which they could be allowed to conduct business, and we can
monitor the activities of the Club. The Lakees were advised that the Rancho
Cucamonga Police Department would be conducting bar checks, in addition to possibly
sending in undercover officers to ensure that they are abiding by the proposal that they
submitted. The Lakkees welcomed the idea and thought it would provide an extra
security measure.
