TO: BRAD BULLER, CITY PLANNER
CITY OF RANCHO CUCAMONGA
FROM: PETE ORTIZ, CHIEF OF POLICE
RANCHO CUCAMONGA POLICE DEPARTMENT
SUBJECT: TWINS NIGHTCLUB
OCT I9 COCq~0~G,4
rFp A
`9~N~NG
Thank you for informing me of the Planning Commission's hearing of October 10, 2001,
regarding the use request for the Twins Night Club. As you know, I have recently been
. appointed Chief of Police of the Rancho Cucamonga Police Department. It was brought
to my attention that the Rancho Cucamonga Police Department recently submitted a
memorandum to you, recommending that the Twins Night Club be allowed to service
patrons eighteen-years-of-age and older on Tuesday and Thursday nights.
After consulting with my Lieutenants and reviewing the history of the Twins Night Club,
it is going to be my recommendation that we not allow Twins Night Club to operate with
the intent of serving alcohol to patrons twenty-one-years-of-age and older with eighteen-
to twenty-one-year-old patrons in the establishment.
It is my belief that there is no definitive way that Twins, even with the security plan, can
say with unegwvocal certainty that there wdl be no underage dunking. Additionally, I am
also concerned with underage dunking and dnwng, particularly if the genesis happens
to be of the Twins Night Club
Lastly, contained within the Twins Night Club proposal, they indicate that they intend to
use the parking lot located at the B.C. Cafe, in addition to a dirt field located northwest
of the Twins Night Club My concern as it relates to the dirt parking lot is that there is
not adequate lighting to ensure the safety of the patrons Regarding parking in the B C
Cafe parking lot, this would cause patrons to cross the street, knowing that in many
instances, they would not safely do so using the crosswalks.
For all the reasons stated above, I do not support nor recommend that the Twins Night
Club be allowed to operate as they propose, nor do I believe they should be extended a
thirty-day "teal penod" in which their activities could be observed. Most importantly, the
Lakkees have demonstrated nothing in their proposal that would suggest to me that
they can guarantee there would be no in the Night Club.

Comments:
a-b) In the City of Rancho Cucamonga, chapels/banquet halls are permitted in the
Mixed Use Distract within the Etiwanda Specific Plan area with a Conditional Use
Permit In October 2000, the City approved Conditional Use Permit No. 00-35
for construction of the chapel. The addition of a banquet hall (with three
separate rooms), kitchen facility, storage room and appropriate parking will be
constructed m one phase and will extend west of the existing buildings onsite.
Based on preliminary review of the elevations, the structures will blend with
existing architecture and design elements presently used at the site.
The buildings will extend westward from the existing office building and will not
encroach into setbacks along the curb face of Etiwanda Avenue on the east
portion of the site
c-d) The area north and south of the site is within the Mixed Use District followed by
the Low Medwm Residential Distract within the Etiwanda Specific Plan The area
east of the site following Etiwanda Avenue is within the Low Medwm Residential
Distract. The area west of the proposed project site is within the Mixed Use
Distract and is part of the applicant's property. The area west of the western
property boundary is outside of the Etiwanda Specific Plan and is designated
Mixed Use within the Rancho Cucamonga Draft General Plan. Implementation
of the proposed project will add related facilities to the Gardens and will continue
to be compatible with existing onsite and proposed surrounding uses

2. POPULATION Alm t-IOIIS~VC1 Would the proposal.
a) Cumulatively exceed official regional or local O O O (/)
population protections
b) Induce substantial growth in an area either () () () (/)
directly or indirectly (e.g ,through protects in an
undeveloped area or extension of mator
infrastructure)
c) Displace existing housing, especially affordable () () () (/)
housing
Comments:
a-b) Implementation of the proposed protect will not displace existing housing. No
mator infrastructure will be developed that would be considered growth inducing
within the community The existing chapel, offices and parking area
encompasses more than fifty percent of the site. Implementation of the protect
will develop the remainder of the site (with the exception of approximately two
acres west of the proposed development area) with a banquet faality including
kitchen and storage area, and additional parking.
Construction activities at the site will be short-term and will not attract new
employees to the area since there is an existing pool of construction labor in the
region. The number of people to be employed by expansion of the facility is
approximately 30 However, new employees will not likely create a demand for
additional housing as it is anticipated that a matority of the workers to be hired
will be coming from a similar facility in Ontano, Cahforma that will be closing
Employees from the Ontano facility likely reside in Ontano or the City of Rancho
Cucamonga or other surrounding communities
c) The proposed protect will be constructed on approximately 3 5 acres of an
existing 9 7-acre site Additional improvements are proposed within the existing
parking area north of the protect site. The development of the protect site will not
impact existing or planned housing within the area as the site is within the Mixed
Use District of the Etiwanda Specific Plan, and is not proposed for residential
development.

expose people to potential impacts involwng•
a) Fault ruptures () () () (/)
b) Seismic ground shakings () () (/) ( )
c) Seismic ground failure, including liquefactions () () () (/)
d) Seiche hazards () () () (/)
e) Landslides or mudflows~ () () () (/)

sod conditions from excavation, grading, or fdl~
g) Subsidence of the lands () () () (/)
h) Expansive sods () () () (/)
Q Unique geologic or physical features () () () (/)
Comments:
a-c) No known faults pass through the site, it is not in an Earthquake Fault Zone, nor is
it in the Rancho Cucamonga City Special Study Zone along the Red Hill Fault. The
Red Hill Fault, or Etiwanda Avenue Fault, passes within 3 miles west of the site,
and the Cucamonga Fault Zone lies approximately 3 7 miles north The magnitude
of the maximum probable event along these faults is estimated at moment
magnitude (M„,) 6.0 - 7.0 earthquakes, respectively Also, the San Jaanto fault,
capable of producing up to My, 7 5 earthquakes is 9.5 miles northeast of the site
and the San Andreas Fault Zone, capable of up to Mw 8 2 earthquakes, is 10 5
miles northeast of the site Each of these faults can produce strong ground
shaking. Adhering to the Uniform Budding Code will ensure that geologic impacts
are less than signrficant
d) The site is not located near a body of water.
e) The site is relatively flat so grading will be minimal Grading wrfl even out the site
and create the necessary slope gradient to allow proper site drainage
f) The topography will be altered to accommodate the protect because the site is
currently vacant Grading will be done in accordance with a grading plan
approved by the City Engineer. The impact is not considered significant.
f-h) The General Plan indicates the Tulunga-Soboba sod association for the site
which has only slight erosion potential and runoff potential is slow to very slow.
Sods are suitable for development The impact is not considered significant.
g-i) The proposed protect will not be impacted by expansive soils or subsidence of
the land, and will not disturb any unique geologic features

4. WATER. Wdl the proposal result ~n
a) Changes in absorption rates, drainage patterns, () () (/) ( )
or the rate and amount of surface water runoff
b) Exposure of people or property to water related () () () (/)
hazards such as flooding?
c) Discharge into surface water or other alteration () () () (/)
of surface water quality (e.g., temperature,
dissolved oxygen, or turbidity)
d) Changes in the amount of surface water in any () () () (/)
water body
e) Changes in currents, or the course or direction () () () (/)
of water movements
f) Change in the quantity of ground waters, either () () () (/)
through direct additions or withdrawals, or
through interception of an aquifer by cuts or
excavations, or through substantial loss of
groundwater recharge capability
g) Altered direction or rate of flow of groundwater () () () (/)
h) Impacts to groundwater quality () () () (/)
i) Substantial reduction in the amount of () () () (/)
groundwater otherwise available for public
water supplies
Comments:
a) Development of the protect site is expected to result in decreased absorption
rates, increased runoff, and drainage pattern changes. The existing facility
occurs on a 9.7-acre site and is over 50 percent developed. As a condition of
protect approval however, a drainage study/plan showing how stormwater runoff
will be handled, both during construction and operation, must be provided to the
City Engineer prior to issuance of a grading permit. Proper grading and drainage
control will ensure this potential impact is less than significant. The design of the
structure will direct surface water run-off to the existing parking area and
existing storm drain outlets
b) The site is not located within the 100-year flood plain.
c-e) The protect site is not located near a body of water
r1
f-i) The protect will not interfere with groundwater management practices in the area
because the site is not used for percolation.

Comments•
a) The proposed protect was screened using Urban Emission Model 7G
(URBEMIS7G) prepared by Jones & Stokes under the gwdance of the San
Joaquin Valley Unrfied Air Pollution Control Distract, the Ventura County Air
Pollution Control Distract, and the South Coast Air Quality Management Distract
(SCAQMD). The program generates emissions estimates for land use
development protects The criteria pollutants screened for included• reactive
organic gases (ROG), rntrous oxides (NOx), carbon monoxide (CO), and
particulates (PM,r,). When fugitroe dust enters the atmosphere, the larger particles
of dust gwckly fall to the ground The smaller particles, however, may remain
suspended for long periods and are referred to as total suspended particulates
(TSP) Within TSP are dust particles that are less than ten microns in diameter and
which are referred to as PM,o. Since PM,o is respvateable and can seriously
damage the lungs, fugitive dust is a matter of concern
Construction emissions are screened and quantified to document the effectiveness
of control measures (Table 1) Default values were used where protect specrfic
information was unavailable. The operational mobile source emissions were
calculated using the Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) Tnp Generation
Manual 6'" edition values programmed into the URBEMIS7G model. The default
fleet mix was modified to decrease the number of medwm to heavy duty diesel
trucks and increase the number of light passenger vehicles, as chapels/banquet
facilities generally do not receive large quantities of heavy-duty trucks Proposed
and existing facilities operational emissions do not exceed South Coast Air Quality
Management Distract (SCAQMD) thresholds of signrficance (Table 2) However,
since the South Coast Air Basin is in non-attainment status for ozone and PM,o
mitigation measures will be used to minimize the protect contribution to regional
emission of criteria pollutants

Generally, construction of a protect this size will not exceed SCAOMD thresholds
dunng grading actiwties for PM~o and NOx, nor SCAOMD thresholds for developed
conditions (operational impacts) for NO, Table 1 shows protect impacts before
and after mitigation measures have been implemented Sensitive receptors in the
area include two single-family residences east of the site. Dunng grading, fugitive
dust (PM,o) will be generated. However, any impacts to these sensitive
receptors from generation of fugitroe dust can be mitigated by the following
measures
1. The site shall be treated with water or other soil stabilizing agent
(approved by SCAOMD and Regional Water Quality Control Board
[RWQCBj) daily to reduce PM,o emissions, in accordance with
SCAQMD Rule 403.
2. Etiwanda Avenue shall be swept according to a schedule established
by the City to reduce PM,o emissions associated with vehicle tracking
of soil off-site. Timing may vary depending upon time of year of
construction. C ~ s
Initial Study for
DRC 2001-00345
City of Rancho Cucamonga
Page 9
3. Grading operations shall be suspended when wind speeds exceed
25 mph to minimize PM,o emissions from the site during such
episodes.
4. Chemical soil stabilizers (approved by SCAOMD and RWOCB) shall be
applied to all inactive construction areas that remain inactive for
96 hours or more to reduce PM,o emissions.
b) Dunng construction exhaust emissions from construction vehicles and
equipment, and fugitive dust generated by vehicles and equipment traveling
over exposed surfaces will increase NO^ and PM,o levels in the area. Table 1
shows a summary of construction emissions with and without mitigation
measures. The following mitigation measures will ensure impacts to sensitive
receptors will be at less than significant levels.
5. The construction contractor shall select the construction equipment
used on-site based on low emission factors and high-energy efficiency.
The construction contractor shall ensure the construction grading
plans include a statement that all construction equipment will be tuned
and maintained in accordance with the manufacturer's specifications.
6. The construction contractor shall utilize electric or clean alternative
fuel powered equipment where feasible.
7. The construction contractor shall ensure that construction-grading
plans include a statement that work crews will shut off equipment
when not in use.
c-d) The proposed protect will include a 20,318 square-foot banquet facility with
kitchen, restrooms and additional parking with minor modifications to the
existing parking area The proposed protect will be completed in one phase and
will build-out an existing facility The end use of the protect will not generate
emissions that could cause climatic changes or obtectionable odors

5,429 square-foot chapel and 2,959 square-foot office building Buddout of the
9 7-acre site wdl include a 20,318 square-foot banquet facility with assembly
area, kitchen and storage area. Bwldout of the site wdl generate 895 two-way
weekend taps at full capacity (all banquet rooms are full and the kitchen and
offices are active). Protected traffic trips were calculated using the Institute of
Traffic Engineers (ITE) Tnp Generation Handbook The Congestion
Management Plan (CMP) has established a threshold of 1,000 two-way
weekday peak hour trips Protects exceeding this threshold require a traffic
impact analysis (TIA) Based on protected taps, the proposed protect wdl not
requre a TIA Buddout of an existing chapel site wdl not cause a significant
increase in traffic as the matority of activities that occur onsite are related to
weddings which generally take place on weekends and therefore do not
contribute to weekday, peak-hour taps.
The City has established a Transportation Development fee that must be paid
by the applicant prior to issuance of budding permits Fees are used to fund
roadway improvements necessary to support adequate traffic circulation. In
addition, the protect is required to comply with standard conditions of approval
for provision of adequate ingress/egress from the site. Compliance with
conditions of approval wdl ensure that protect-related trips are less than
significant.
b-d) The site is a rectangular parcel and currently has one, 40-foot driveway along
Etiwanda Avenue that provides access to both the existing and proposed
parking areas The driveway also provides traffic flow through so that visitors to
the site wdl not back up on the street Access for emergency vehicles is

development (Tentative Tract Map 15974, The Arbors) Therefore, there will be
no impact to endangered species, or habitats
There are a few trees occurring in a cluster, not windrow formation, along the
northern property boundary of the expansion area Construction activities at the
site will not require the removal of these mature trees. Proposed landscape

Comments:
a) Traffic along Etiwanda Avenue is the predominant source contributing to the
ambient noise level in the area Sensitive receptors include two single-family
residences to the east and proposed residential development to the south.
Sensitive receptors will be exposed to elevated noise levels during construction.
However, elevated noise levels will be short-term and will cease once the
protect is complete
b) The proposed protect is the expansion of a chapel, including a banquet facility
with kitchen, storage area and additional parking Noise assoaated with the
proposed protect will include music and bands for wedding receptions
Receptions will be conducted within the proposed banquet hall, and will shield
sensitive receptors from site activities No outside actmties are proposed Two
existing residences, located on the east side of Etiwanda Avenue, are located a
minimum of 720 feet from the proposed banquet facility, and proposed
residential develop to the south (The Arbors) will be located a minimum of
200 feet from the proposed facility. Since proposed site activities will be
conducted indoors, and the distance to the banquet hall from the nearest
sensitwe receptors is a minimum of 200 feet, noise impacts are considered less
than significant

Comments:
a-e) Fire Protection -The protect site is located on the west-side of Etiwanda Avenue
between Miller Avenue and Baseline Road in Rancho Cucamonga, and is
served by a fire station located on the northeast corner of Day Creek Boulevard
and Baseline Road, approximately 1 5 miles west of the site. Standard
conditions of approval from the Uniform Budding and Fire Codes will be placed
on the protect
c 30

City of Rancho Cucamonga
Page 14
Police Protection -The site is currently developed and patrolled The 20,318
square-foot banquet facility with kitchen and storage areas at the existing chapel
site will not increase the need for routine police protection services, consistent
with the City of Rancho Cucamonga General Plan and Development Impact Fee
Schedules adopted by the City Council.
Schools -Construction activities at the site will be short-term and will not attract
new employees to the area Proposed banquet, kitchen and storage facilities will
result in 30 additional employees. Existing and proposed employees at buildout
of the facility will be 70 The 30 additional employees will likely come from a
similar operation located in Ontano, California scheduled for closure Therefore
the proposed protect will not induce people to move to the area
C~
Public Facilities -The proposed protect will buildout an existing chapel site.
Traffic currently traveling to the site is expected to continue in the same manner.
Traffic at buildout is expected to generate 895 two-way weekend taps from the
current (2001) 460 two-way weekend taps Therefore at buildout the protect will
generate 435 additional trips These taps are also based on full capacity of the
site (all banquet rooms are full and kitchen and offices are occupied) Based on
interview with the manager, this scenano generally occurs in late spring/early
summer and also occurs during the holiday season The City has established a
Transportation Development Fee that must be paid by the applicant pnor to
issuance of building permits. Fees will be used to fund roadway improvements
necessary to support adequate traffic circulation. Compliance with this condition
of approval will ensure that impacts to public facilities are less than significant.

Comments:
a-g) The prolect will use existing gas, electrical and communication systems Solid
waste disposal will be prowled by the current City contracted hauler Currently
municipal solid waste from the City is taken to San Bernardino, Riverside or
Orange County landfills for disposal; depending on the hauler. The prolect will
increase demand upon storm drain systems due to the increased runoff from
new hardscape proposed on the vacant portion of the site Storm drain
improvements will be necessary to accommodate the prolect This does not
result in substantial alterations to the master plan of storm drainage The impact
is not considered significant since it wdl provide proper stormwater drainage per

Based on preliminary review of the elevations, the structures wdl blend with
existing architecture and design elements presently used at the site. The
20,813 square-foot bwlding wdl extend westward from the existing office building
and will not encroach into setbacks along the curb face of Etiwanda Avenue on
the east portion of the site.
b) The proposed banquet faality with kitchen, storage room and related parking will
require nighttime outdoor lighting Sensitive receptors in the area include
existing residents approximately 720 feet to the east and proposed residents
approximately 200 feet to the south of the proposed banquet factlity. Although
the banquet facility wtll be 200 feet from the proposed residential development,
existing and proposed parking spaces along the southern property boundary
may be within twenty feet or less of the proposed residents As a condition of
approval, the applicant must submit a lighting plan to show how prolect lighting
will be kept onsite to ensure there are no impacts to sensitive receptors.

16. MANDATORY FINDINGS OF SIGNIFICANCE.
a) Potential to degrade: Does the protect have
the potential to degrade the quality of the
environment, substantially reduce the habitat of
a fish or wildlife species, cause a fish or wildlife
population to drop below self-sustaining levels,
threaten to eliminate a plant or animal
community, reduce the number or restrict the
range of a rare or endangered plant or animal,
or eliminate important examples of the mator
periods of California history or prehistory
b) Short term: Does the protect have the potential
to achieve short-term, to the disadvantage of
long-term, environmental goals (A short-term
impact on the environment is one which occurs
in a relatively brief, definitroe penod of time.
Long-term impacts will endure well into the
future )
c) Cumulative: Does the protect have impacts
that are individually limited, but cumulatively
considerable ("Cumulatively considerable°
means that the incremental effects of a protect
are considerable when viewed in connection
with the effects of past protects, the effects of
other current protects, and the effects of
probable future protects )
d) Substantial adverse: Does the protect have
environmental effects which will cause
substantial adverse effects on human beings,
either directly or indirectly
Comments:

(/)
a) Proposed banquet facility will be developed within the site of an existing chapel.
The portion of the site proposed for development is disturbed and contains non-
native weeds and grasses. The area south of the site is awaiting residential
development (Tentative Tract Map 15974, The Arbors). Therefore, there will be
no impact to endangered species, or habitats

There are a few trees occurring in a cluster, not windrow formation, along the
northern property boundary of the expansion area Construction activities at wdl
not require the removal of these mature trees Proposed landscape plans will
accommodate these trees and include additional trees and shrubs The
proposed landscape plan will provide the types of mature trees common to
development in Rancho Cucamonga and will accent the new buddmgs
b) The Initial Study identified short-term impacts to air quality with proposed
construction activities. However, the impacts will cease once construction
activities are completed Implementation of mitigation measures presented m
this Initial Study and standard Conditions of Approval wdl reduce short-term
impacts to less than significant.
c) The proposed protect is consistent with the City of Rancho Cucamonga General
Plan that was recently adopted along with the certification of a Program EIR,
Findings of Fact, and a Statement of Overriding Consideration for significant
adverse environmental effects of buildout m the City and sphere of influence
The City made fmdmgs that adoption of the General Plan would result m
significant adverse effects to 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 statements of overriding
consideration balanang the benefits of development under the General Plan
update against the significant unavoidable adverse impacts (CEQA Gwdelmes
Section 15092 and 15096(h)) These benefits include less overall traffic volumes
by developing mixed-use protects that wdl be pedestrian friendly and
conservation of valuable natural open space With these fmdmgs and
statements of overriding consideration, no further discussion or evaluation of
cumulative impacts is required.
d) The proposed 20,318 square-foot banquet facility with banquet rooms, kitchen
storage area and additional parking is an addition to The Gardens, a site
dedicated to weddings and other special occasions, that is situated on
approximately 9 7 acres. The existing facility consists of a 5,429 square-foot
chapel, an 2,959 square-foot office bwlding and paved parking m the front. At
bwldout the faality wdl be completely developed, with the exception of a 320
square-foot area west of the proposed development, with parking, lighting, and
landscaping The proposed protect would not result in any significant imapcts to
the environment

ANALYSIS
A General The site presently contains anon-conforming structure, defiaent in the regwred
number of parking stalls and striping design The previous use of the bulding as a retail liquor
store has been discontinued for 180 days or more, making the proposed use subtect to the
provisions of Section 17 02 130, requiring any proposed use to be in confortrnty with the
regulations for the district in which it is located Liquor stores are allowed in the Community
Commercial District, subtect to the approval of a Conditional Use Permit The site will be
paved and restriped with 17 standard parking stalls, meeting the parking requirement for the
use The applicant proposes minor changes to the exterior of the building, including a stucco
coat over preasion block, file roof, two-tone accent file and a nver rock base along the front
elevation The exterior materials are compatible with the surcounding area and adtoining
service station, incorporating nver rock and matching file roof All of the proposed exterior
materials and colors meet the Foothill Boulevard District design guidelines
B Land Use Compatibility The premise of all Conditional Use Permits is to ensure the
compatibility of adtacent uses and the separation of potential nuisance activities The
applicant is proposing a 4,320 square foot retail liquor store, open 7 days a week, from 7 a m
to 1 a m ,Sunday through Thursday, with hours on Friday and Saturday extended to 2 a m
Fully developed commeraal uses border each side of the proposed use, with a service station
(Conditional Use Permit 93-46) to the west and In-N-Out Burger to the east
C Variance The applicant has applied for a Variance to reduce the parking setback along
Foothill Boulevard to be consistent with the adtoimng service station The site is within an
Activity Center, which regwres a 50-foot parking setback as measured from the curb face
The applicant is requesting a Variance to reduce the parking setback to 40 feet

FACTS FOR FINDINGS The purpose of a Vanance is to provide flexibility from the strict
application of development standards In order to grant a request for a Vanance, the Planning
Commission must make a series of findings Generally, these findings focus on unique or specal
arcumstances applicable to a speafic property Following are facts to support the necessary
findings
Fact Literal compliance with the Foothill Boulevard District's parking setback would cause a
physical hardship for the property owner due to the 40-foot parking setback for the adjacent
property and the presence of shared access for both properties from one dnveway on Foothill
Boulevard Literal compliance with the 50-foot parking setback would create a dnve aisle with
awkward and inconsistent area for maneuvering, which is inconsistent with the obtectives of
the Development Code
Fording That strict or literal interpretation and enforcement of the specified regulation would
result in practical difficulty or unnecessary physical hardship inconsistent with the ob~ect~ve of
this Code
2 Fact The Conditional Use Permit for the service station to the west of the sublect property
included a condition of approval regwnng a consolidation of three driveways and recordation
of joint access for both parcels Because of the exceptional arcumstances of shared access
and dnveway consolidation from a prior condition of approval, granting of the Vanance will
allow a uniform dnve aisle width and parking setback along Foothill Boulevard
Fmdmg That there are exceptional or extraordinary arcumstances orcondrtions applicable to
the property involved or the intended use of the property that do not apply generally to other
properties in fhe same zone
Fact The granting of the Variance for the 40-foot parking setback will allow the sublect parcel
to match the previously approved parking setback of the propertyto the west, thereby alloHnng
the property owner development privileges enjoyed by other properties Additionally, the
40-foot parking setback will allow for a landscaped area that is consistent with the adjacent
parcel, thereby meeting the streetscape objectives of the Foothill Boulevard Distract
Finding That strict orliteral interpretation and enforcement of the specified regulation would
deprive the applicant of pnwleges enjoyed by the owners of otherpropert~es in the same zone
Fact In 1988, Variance 88-09 was granted to the property to the west fora 40-foot parking set
back along Foothill Boulevard
Finding That the granting of the Variance will not constitute of a grant of special privilege
inconsistent with the l~m~tations on other properties classified in the same zone
5 Fact The granting of the Vanance will not be detrimental to the public health, safety, or
welfare or materially injurious to the properties or improvements in the vicirnty, but, conversely,
will allow properties that are regwred to have shared access to maintain a uniform drive aisle
width, thereby reduang the potential for conflicts

C FACTS FOR FINDINGS The purpose of a Vanance is to provide flexibility from the stnct
application of development standards, however, the Planning Commission must make the
following findings in order to approve the request Following are facts to support these
findings

would result in practical d~ftlculty or unnecessary physical hardship inconsistent with the
ob~ect~ves of the Development Code

Fact The site ~s bounded by three streets, Mdl~ken Avenue to the east, 5th Street to the
south and Fa~rv~ew Place to the west The three street sides will have full street
improvements A 200-foot long right tum lane ~s required along the entire frontage of
Milliken Avenue in concert with the previously approved master plan The Site Plan is in
compliance with the approved master plan, and that three streets will bound the subject
site. The strict enforcement of the Code roqu~rement along Milliken Avenue requmng a
45-foot average setback will create an unnecessary hardship on the su6~ect site
2 Finding That there are exceptional or extraordinary ciroumstances or conditions
applicable to the property involved or to the intended use of the property that do not
apply generally to other properties rn the same d~stnct.
Fact The project site is unusual because it has frontage on three streets, and has a
right tum lane the entire length of the parcel frontage along Milliken Avenue
3. Finding • That strict or literal interpretation and enforcement of the specified regu/at~on
would deprive the applicant ofpnwleges enjoyed by the owners ofotherproperties in the
same district
Fact Without the Variance, the prolect would be deprived of privileges enjoyed by other
businesses within the same district Additionally, the Bernal of the Vanance would not be
in harmony with what was approved, the 200-foot long right tum lane, as shown in the
master plan
4 Finding That the granting of the Vanance will not constitute agrant of special privilege
inconsistent with the l~mrtations on other properties or improvements in fhe vicinity
Fact Because this is a unique lot with three street sides, and the proposed project will
be in the spent of the previously approved master plan, the granting of the Vanance will
not set a precedent
Finding. That the granting of the Variance will not be detrimental to the public health,
safety or welfare, or materially in~unous to properties or improvements in the vicinity.
Fact Granting of the Vanance will not be detrimental to the public health, safety, or
welfare or be materially injurious to properties or improvements in the wamty, because
the project will be developed per applicable City Code criteria and will be in concert with
the approved master plan
Based on the above analysis, staff believes that there are sufficient facts to support the
findings
D Environmental The variance request is exempt from environmental review as a Class 11
Categorical Exemption pursuant to Section 15311 of the California Environmental Quality Act
(CEQA)

Architectural Plans were approved with a 10-foot setback on the west side yard and a 15-foot
setback on the east side yard, consistent with the Development Code Dunng construction, the
Building and Safety Division was notified of a discrepancy in the setback on September 25, 2001,
and staff documented the setback non-compliance on September 26, 2001 On September 26,
2001, the engineer for the property to the west re-staked and re-measured the setback at 5 feet
9 Inches from the property line The Building and Saftey Division issued a correction notice on

The Code establishes a Vanance process "to provide flexibility from the stnct application of
development standards when speaal circumstances pertaining to the propertysuch as size, shape,
topography, or location depnves such property of pnwleges entoyed by other property in the vicinity
and in the same distnct " The Planning Commission has authonty to grant a Vanance request for
setbacks if the requisite findings can be made
Analvsis The applicant's attorney has wntten tustification which does not support the regwsite
findings because it is not based upon the circumstances of the subtect property; rather, their
tustification is that the engineer and a cement contractor erred in the foundation location
Mr French is the owner-budder for the building permit, hence, has ultimate responsibility for all
aspects of construction and to ensure that the protect is completed in accordance with the approved
plans and consistent with City requirements The home is currently under construction.
In reviewing the request, staff believes that any hardship isself-imposed by the owner-budder in not
following their approved plans Staff cannot find any unusual constraints (configuration or
topography) to tustify the granting of the Vanance The lot is located on the north side of Paddock
Place in the Very Low Residential Distnct The rear yard and west property abut lots that are also
currently under construction All homes within Haven View Estates are considered hillside and are
required by Code to be approved through the Hillside Review process The home is a two-story
design
There has never been an approval of a Vanance for a side yard setback in the Haven View Estates •
gated community The lots in Haven View Estates are ahalf-acre or more Staff has not had any
issues with the 10 and 15-foot sideyard setbacks on adtacent lots
FACTS FOR FINDINGS The purpose of a Vanance is to provide flexibility from the stnct
application of development standards, however, the Planning Commission must make the following
findings in order to approve the request Following are facts to support these findings
Finding That stnct orliteral interpretation and enforcement of the specified regulations
would result in practical difficulty or unnecessary physical hardship inconsistent with the
ob~ect~ves of the Development Code
Fact Stnct enforcement of the 10-foot minimum side yard setback would necessitate
substantial reconstruction of the house Although there was not a practical difficulty or
physical hardship presented at the time of plan approval, the advanced stage of
construction would result in a practical difficulty in meeting the required setback
2 Finding That there are exceptional or extraordinary circumstances or conddions
applicable to the property involved or to the intended use of the property that do not
apply generally to other properties in the same distnct
Fact The 10-foot sideyard setback required of the property is regwred of all properties
located in the Very Low Residential District The property is more than a half an acre,
which is ample room for both setbacks, and all properties within Haven View Estates
adhere to this setback According to the approved Site Plan, there is a minimum of .
28 feet 5 inches intenor side yard setback on the opposite side of the lot, which provides
ample room to shift the house to meet all setback requirements

3 Finding That the stnct or literal inferpretat~on and enforcement of the speafied
regulation would depnve the applicant of pnvdeges enfoyed by the owners of other
properties in the same d~stnct
Fact The City, m isswng a bwlding permit, has already granted to the owner-builderthe
pnwlege to construct in accordance with all City regwrements The 10-foot side yard
setback would not depnve the applicant of bwlding a home or making the home conform
to Code requirements All homes m Haven View Estates are regwred to have the same
minimum setbacks
4 Finding That the granting of the Vanance wdl not constdute a grant of special pnwlege
inconsistent with the l~mdations on the other properties classified in the same d~stnct.
Fact The granting of the Vanance would constitute a granting of a special pnvdege that
would be inconsistent with the limitations on the other properties classified in the same
distnct All properties within the Haven View Estates are required to meet the minimum
of 10 and 15-foot sideyard setbacks No Vanance for a sideyard setback has been
granted in Haven View Estates
5 Finding That the granhng of the Vanance wdl not be detnmental to the public health,
safety, or welfare ormatenallyinfunous to the properf~es or~mprovements in the wcindy
Fact The granting of the Vanance could potentially be matenally inlunous to the
properties in the viamty If the Vanance were granted, the minimum distance would only
be 5 feet 9 inches, thus reduang the setback area significantly and would result m a
two-story bwlding mass approximately twice as close to the neighbor as Code would
require This is not consistent with the Very Low zornng, which is a minimum of 10 feet
Light, air, and open space would be compromised, as well as reduction in pnvacyforthe
neighbors
Staff has been in contact with the adjacent property owner (October 25, 2001) The owner is willing
to consider a lot line ad/ustment, however, both owners have not come to a monetary agreement
Staff has also been in contact with the Haven View Homeowners Association (October 29, 2001),
which have stated that they concur with the denial of the Vanance because it would set a precedent
for below minimum setback requirements in the area
Based on the information contained in this report, staff does not believe that the facts are evident to
make all of the requisite findings Staff recommends that the applicant work with the adtacent
property owner and acquire the additional setback area through a lot line adjustment
To approve the Vanance request, the Planning Commission must find in the affirmatwe on all five of
the regwsite findings listed above To deny the application, the Commission need to only find that
one of these findings cannot be met Staff feels that there are no exceptional or extraordinary
circumstances or conditions applicable to the properly

Re. Variance - DRC2001-00623/ JUSTIFICATION
Dear Sirs/Madam
This office represents Mr Dwight French in his effort to have a vanance approved for
the above-referenced project.
Mr French is obligated to bnng this request for a vanance due to circumstances that
occurred dunng the building of lus approved protect
As a short history of this matter, Mr French is btulding a residence located m the
North Rancho Cucamonga azea. When completed the residence is estimated m the 1.1
million dollar value range.
To accomplish 1us goal, Mr. French lured a reputable engineenng firm (Allazd
Engineenng) to help lion as anowner-builder for the engineenng and surveying of the
property Additionally, he hired a reputable cement contractor to set and pour the
foundation. After the forms were set, the City of Rancho Cucamonga came to the site on
June 5, 2001, inspected and then signed off on the permit specifically for the foundation
Since that inspection, the City of Rancho Cucamonga has mspected and signed off on the
permit on at least ten (10) different occasions. No problems were ever noted to the
applicant regarding }us protect The residence is now at the mtenor drywall inspection
stage and is approxunately 95% complete with only parts of the intenor left to complete
The City has now refused to sign off on the remainder of the permit because a
discrepancy was noted regazdmg a set back requirement
The owner-builder is now at a point where he has invested nearly $500,000.00 m
developing the property To remove the structure and re-build would cost another
$600,000 00 and therefore is cost prohibitive To remove any structural supports from
the residence to meet the setbacks would again cost several hundred thousand in re-
engineenng, tear down and re-build and would also reduce the value of the residence to
an amount worth less than the cost of the protect
In granting a vanance, the Planning Commission must take into consideration
several factors In thus instance, if the Commission were to apply a stnct interpretation of
the set back requirement, that being 10 feet (9 feet with the 1% allowable vanable)
instead of the 5'9" that exists now on the protect, it would result in not only a practical
~xln~ bi+ `'iA'' G ~,

Re• Vanance - DRC2001-00623/ JUSTIFICATION
difficulty in banging the project into compliance, but also result in unnecessary monetary
hazdship as set forth above. The Commission should be aware that the contiguous owner
of the affected property has started construction on lus project and has allowed an overage
setback so that the distance between the two structures is twenty (20) feet.
Next, if the Commission were to stnctly interpret the set back requirement in this
case, rt would depnve the applicant of the pnvilege of completing the building of the
project, which is a pnvilege enjoyed by other owners in the same zone. The reason for the
applicant not being able enjoy this pnvilege is the prolubihve cost of obtaimng
compliance with the set back requirement
If the Commission were to grant the vanance, it would not constitute any special
pnvilege to the applicant that would be inconsistent with the limitation placed on other
properties in the same zone, as the applicant would still be required to have a set back,
though rt be slightly less than others, the circumstances dictate and almost direct that rt be
granted. Additionally, the only other property owner affected by the granting of the
vanance would be the contiguous property owner, who does not object to the request. The •
granting of ttus vanance is not an any manner detnmental to the public health, safety, or
welfare or matenally m~unous to properties m the vicimty. The applicant recognizes that
although the City approved and signed off on the permits for the foundation and forms
location, one City department does not supersede requirements of the code, However, in
this case it appears that the process of granting the vanance is faz less in~unous to the
public and applicant than denying the vanance
Thank you for your courtesy and anticipated cooperation in this matter
