The site was onginally planned for asst-down restaurant during review of the Lowe's protect At that time, no architectural schemes had been established for development of the pad, as the developer did not have a speGfic restaurant in mind. The Planning Commission stated that "signature architecture "that is architecture akin to a specfic restaurant, would be acceptable for the site so long as the overall quality is on par with the Lowe's bwlding. The Islands restaurant budding is very different from Lowe's, but without losing architectural integrity. Cohesion between the bwldings will be achieved through use of similar color schemes, trellis, and stucxo. This is similar to the relationship between the Claim Jumper restaurant and the main buildings within the Foothill Marketplace shopping center. In 2001, the City adopted the Foothill Boulevard/Route 66 Visual Improvement Plan, which establishes design elements that reinforce the histonc Route 66 theme. This is our last opportunity on this comer to implement these design elements and suggested conditions of approval will require installation of Route 66 icons based on the Visual Improvement Plan The Planning Commission held aPre-Application Review Workshop on the restaurant design on February 27, 2002. The Commission felt that the design of the building should take into account the depressed pad elevation and the visual prominence given the IoceUon at a major intersection (Foothill Boulevard and Milliken Avenue) The Commission appears to prefer the tower feature and elevating high quality archtectural features as much as possible to establish adequate presence relative to street frontage. The tower feature should therefore be continued on other aspects of the budding. See attached minutes for further details. Note that the current design scheme approved by the Desrgn Review Committee has changed substantially since the Planning Commrssion Workshop. The budding now has two octagonal towers, a pitched roof, and greater use of decorative matenals such as Gapboard siding and stone wainscoting. ANALYSIS: A. General: Note that in terms of land use compatibility, the restaurant with bar is not expected to have a negatwe impact on surrounding uses. The Gosest residential development is located on the north side of Church Street, 1,000 feet to the north of the site. The budding is located in convenient prowm~ty to the Lowe's building, as well as future office and technical bwldings within the Rancho Cucamonga Corporate Center. The restaurant use is consistent wrath the intent of the Industnal Park Distract to provide a vanety of uses to transition from commeraal uses to more intensive industnal uses to the south. Islands restaurant fits in, as this stretch of Foothill Boulevard is becoming known for higher quality restaurants. The proposed hours of operation are 11.00 a m. to midnight, Sundays through Thursdays and 11:00 a.m. to 1:00 a.m., Fndays and Saturdays. The restaurant is expected to have 55 employees with 18 employees per shift. According to the applicant, 90 percent of the employees vnll be hired from the surrounding area AS is typical of development along the south side of Foothill Boulevard, the site sets approximately 8 feet below the level of Foothill Boulevard. This will mean a substantial portion of the base of the budding along the north and west elevations will be out of public view Staff and the applicant have agreed to utilize less decorative matenals in these locations in exchange for enhancements elsewhere, such as substantial use of stone wainscoting on the south and east elevations and entry and octagonal shaped towers on the southeast and northwest comers of the budding There is an enGosed service area on l °C PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT DRC2002-00260 -ISLANDS RESTAURANT June 12, 2002 Page 3 the west side of the buildmg vnth two-tone stucco walls and a trellis roof. The budding has a skewed plotting so that the buildmg walls are at angles relative to the street frontages B Des_ ign Review Committee• The Committee (McNiel, Stewart, Fong) reviewed the project on May 14, 2002, and requested that an alternative roofing matenal to the corrugated metal roofing be provided The Committee reviewed the bwldmg with the alternative roof matenal on June 4, 2002. The Committee recommended that variegated concrete file be used on the towers to match the mam budding The Committee is welling to accept the corrugated metal shown on the entry canopy. C Technical Review Committee: The Grading and Techrncal Review Committees have reviewed the project and recommend approval subtect to the conditions outlined m the attached resolution of approval. D. Environmental Assessment• The Planrnng Commission issued a Negative Decaraton with the onginal Catellus Master Plan and the Lowe's center (of which the site is a part) in 1999, and then issued another Negative Declaration for Tentatwe Parcel Map 15630 on February 13, 2002. Staff is of the opinion that no further environmental review is necessary because the project is consistent with the approved master plan CORRESPONDENCE This item was advertised as a public heanng m the Inland Valley Daily Bulletin newspaper, the property was posted, and notices were marled to all property owners within a 300-foot radius of the project site.

Commissioner Stewart also felt the project appears to be missing some pieces. She noted that she has concems about the parking and that the footprint of the building does not appear to match the budding elevations. She rndreated the Project would have to have the required amenities sufficient for the project and wanted detailed rnfornation on the amenities. She also requested a stronger landscape buffer along the north property line. Chairman McNiel echoed the other Commissioners. He believed the units along the south property line should be adjusted to side onto the ewstrng units to the south He also wanted a stronger use of courtyarJs and indicated that guest parkrng should be provided. He commented that the proposed use rs more suitable than the other proposals the Planning Commission has seen for the site. He stated that the project must have a strong relationship with the approved commercial project to the north. He also felt this project must have a connection to the exsting trail along the west property line Mr. Buller summarized the Commission's concems. He noted that the project overell is viable but needs more work. ..... B PRE-APPLICATION REVIEW DRC2002-00086 -ISLANDS RESTAURANT - A request for review of architectural and sNe plan design concepts fora 5,267 square foot Islands Restaurant, inctuding the use of exposed corrugated steel as a building material, on 1.3 acres of land rn the Industrial Park Drstnct (Subarea 7), located at the southeast comer of Milliken Avenue and Foothill Boulevard - APN• 229-011-25. Brad Buller, Crty Planner, reviewed the purpose and basic procedures of the pre-application review. David Kendal, Lee and Sakahare Architects, presented the proposed design. Mr. Kendal distributed black and white reduced copies of another desrgn that inGudes a pkched roof and a decorative tower feature accentuating the building entry. He asked the Commission's opinions about the building design. He acknowledged the casual prominence of the site and indicated that the new design now being presented is taller to address the street scene. Brent Le Count, Associate Planner, reviewed staffs concems. He reported that when the Lowe's project was being processed rn 1999, the Commission indicated that signature style architecture would be acceptable for the Lowe's restaurant pads so long as the archrtecturel qualdywas high. He noted that since that trine the Fanner Boys and Union Bank buildings have been reviewed, approved, and constructed, and that these buildings happen to take sign cant architecturel cues from the Lowe's desrgn. He asked that the Commission consider whether this establishes an archdecturel theme for the site, thus baring the signature architecture as proposed by Islands. Mr. Le Count also stated that should the Commission agree to signature architecture for Islands, staff would recommend that the architectural quality be at least on a par with the Lowe's budding. He expressed concems regarding the proposed building materials and thought the building lacks casual interest and change of plane. He felt the building should be designed to address the visually prominent location with frontage on Foothill Boulevard and Milliken Avenue Finally, he indicated that the word "Fine" in "Erne Burgers and Drinks" would be considered ancillary advertising inconsistent with the Citys Sign Ordinance and should be removed. PC Adjourned Minutes -2- February 27, 2002 The Islands team indicated it would be acceptable to delete the word "Fine." Commissioner Stewart felt the budding appears overly boxy and the front entrance should be restudied She stated that she is not in favor of using corrugated metal as an exterior building material She preferred the alternative design being presented inGuding the file roof and tower design for the entry. She stated that the north and west elevations facing the mator boulevards must have accentuated architecture and that both of the designs presented are lacking in this requirement. Commissioner Tolstoy did not care for the original design with flat roof and corrugated metal He noted that the site lies at a major intersection and is depressed below street level; therefore he preferred the decorative tower feature for the entry as shown on the revised second design but felt the remainder of the building lacks interest. He thought corrugated metal might be appropriate if it is also used on the inside the building. Chairman McNeil agreed with the other Commissioners but expressed opposition to the use of corugated metal as an exterior building matenal He said that even the second design aftematrve presented deserves restudy to better address the major street frontages. He thought that ii the comers of the building could all be treated as well as the tower feature over the entrance, d might justify the less visually interesting intermediate wall areas. Chairman McNeil said that he is excited to see a proposal by Islands Restaurant and wishes the project much success Mr. Buller summanzed the Commission's contains. He commented that the design of the building should take into account the depressed pad elevation and the visual prominence given the locabon at a mayor intersection He noted the Commission appears to prefer the tower feature and elevating high quality architectural features as much as possible to establish adequate presence relative to street frontage. He added that the tower feature should therefore be continued on other aspects of the building. ..... PUBLIC COMMENTS There were no public comments at that time ADJOURNMENT The Planning Commission ad~oumed at 9:00 p.m. Respecdfully submitted, Bra r Se tary PC Adtoumed Minutes ~~~ February 27, 2002 DESIGN REVIEW COMMENTS 7:30 p.m Brent Le Count May 14, 2002 CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT DRC2002-00260 -ISLANDS RESTAURANT-A request to construct 15,431 square foot restaurant vnth bar on 1.3 acres of land in the Industrial Park District (Subarea 7), located at the southeast comer of Milliken Avenue and Foothill Boulevard - APN. 229-011-25 Design Parameters The site is a vacant pad in the Lowe's centerthat was originally planned for a sit down restaurant during review of the Lowe's project. Afthat time, no architectural schemes had been established for development of the pad, as the developerdid not have a speGfic restaurant in mind. The Planning Commission stated that "signature architecture," that is architecture akin to a speafic restaurant, would be acceptable for the site so long as the overall quality is on par with the Lowe's buldng. The Islands budding is very different from Lowe's but without losing architectural integrity. Cohesion between the buildings will be achieved thru use of similar color schemes, trellis, and stucco. In 2001, the Cityadopted the Foothill Boulevard/Route 66 Visual Improvement Plan, which establishes design elements that reinforce the historic Route 66 theme. This is our last opportunity on this comer to implement these design elements. As is typical of development along the south side of Foothill Boulevard, the site sets approximately 8 feet below the level of Foothill Boulevard. This will mean a good bit of the base the budding along the north and west elevations Nell be out of public view. Staff and the applicant have agreed to utilize less decoratwe materials in these loptions in exchange for enhancements elsewhere such as substantial use of stone wainscoting on the south and east elevations and entry and octagonal shaped towers on the southeast and northwest comers of the building These towers are proposed to have corrugated metal roofing. There is an enGosed sernce area on the west side of the building with two-tone stucco walls and a trellis roof. The building has a skewed plotting so that the building walls are at angles relative to the street frontages The Planning Commission held aPre-Application Revew Workshop on the restaurant design on February27, 2002 The Commission felt that the design of the building should take into accountthe depressed pad elevation and the visual prominence gwen the location at a major intersection (Foothill Boulevard and Milliken Avenue). The Commission appears to prefer the towerfeature and elevating high quality architect rural features as much as possible to establish adequate presence relative to street frontage. The tower feature should therefore be continued on other aspects of the budding. See attached minutes for further details. Note that the current design scheme being presented tonight to the Design Review Committee has changed substantially since the Planning Commission Workshop. The budding now has two octagonal towers, a pitched mof, and greateruse of decorative materials such as clapboard siding and stone Nernscoting. Staff Comments: The following comments are intended to provide an outline for Committee discussion. Major Issues: The following broad design issues will be the focus of Committee discussion regarding this project: The applicant has worked diligently to resolve major design issues presented by the Planning Commission and by staff. There are no major issues. ,` N ~~ DRC COMMENTS CUP DRC20902-00260 -ISLANDS RESTAURANT May 14, 2002 Page 2 Secondary Issues: The Committee vtitll discuss the following secondary design issues: 1 Eliminate the stone wainscoting from the north elevation at the northwest corner of the building because d will be obscured by the high retaining wall adjacent to it and the cost of the materials would be better spent elsewhere on the budding Suggest either adding the stone to the service enclosure on the west side or heaver trellis members/rafter tads, etc. 2.

The site was the location of the Kemp family home until it burned in December 2001. The Kemp house was a large two-story house, square in design, reflecting the Colonial Revival °Foursquare° style The architectural style of the structure suggested thatthe house may have been constructed after the tum of the twentieth century Marcus Kemp and his family were early citrus growers in the Etiwanda community, and Marcus Kemp was listed as a shareholder in the Etiwanda Frwt Company. Assessor's records establish the family's association with this property as far back as 1895. The house had been significantly altered, as it originally had an elaborate front porch and balcony, and all of the surrounding out buildings have been removed. The Environmental Impact Report prepared for Caltrans for Route 30 Improvements in 1991, identified that the Etiwanda Windbreaks are eligible to be considered on the National Register of Historic Places Assoaated with the Etiwanda Colony, the windbreak feature consists of several square miles of Eucalyptus windbreaks sectioning off 10-acre parcels (330 feet by660 feet) for citrus groves, orchards, and vineyards The overall area of the landscape is approximately 1,700 acres The Etiwanda Windbreaks meet National Register Cntena A, for its association to, and agricultural success of, the Etiwanda Colony; Cntena B, for its association with the Chaffey brothers, and Cntena C, as representing a significant pattern of historic tradition of land use and human activity. The preservation of the Heritage Trees along old Highland Avenue, and replacement of on-site windrows, acts to preserve the overall character of the Etiwanda W indbreak landscape. The California Fan palm trees along the north side of Highland Avenue and the Eucalyptus trees along the south side are both identified has heritage trees for preservation per Figure 5-13 of the Etiwanda Specific Plan. In recent weeks, CALTRANS began replaang California Fan palm trees that have suffered from the effects of freeway construction At present, four have been replaced with eight additional trees slated for replacement in the near future. in addition, the City has had a contract tree maintenance crew working in the Etiwanda area trimming and pruning heritage trees. The trees along the south side of Highland Avenue have recently been pruned of sucker growth, and all trees that had been severely damaged by wind or fire have been removed All remaining palm and Eucalyptus trees along Highland Avenue shall be protected in place as noted in the conditions of approval. Much of the remaining windrows on-site have been damaged or killed by fires and the Eucalyptus Longhorn Borer This is the area that burned in the °Etiwanda Fire," which damaged many windrows in the area The remaining Blue Gum trees also support a large population of Australian Tortoise Beetles, which eat the edges of the leaves. Because of the Santa Ana wind conditions, many of the trees have grown in leaning patterns to the south The tentative tract site contains over 300 trees, most of which will be removed by the proposed development Interspersed with the windrow pattern are a few Elderberry, Avocado, and California Fan palm trees. Other trees observed on the site include Arizona Cypress, Chinaberry, Cottonwood, Red Gum, and Shamel Ash trees The Arbonst conducted a tree-by-tree survey for this site, and the complete tree survey data is included in the Arbonst Report ~a PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT SUBTT16279 -COLORADO PACIFIC COMMUNITIES June 12,2002 Page 3 ANALYSIS A General The proposed protect, compnsed of seven parcels totaling 57 acres, is located near the southeast comer of Highland and Etiwanda Avenues Lots within the proposed tentative Vact are a minimum of 20,000 square feet and minimum average of 25,000 square feet in area Actual lot sizes range from the minimum of 20,000 square feet up to 54,562 square feet The design includes the most recent changes to development standards in Equestnan neighborhoods, regwnng a 200-foot lot depth Other undeveloped areas of Very Low Residential (1- 2 dwelling units per acre) density will remain at the comer of Highland and Etiwanda Avenues, and south of the site on both the east and west side of the existing development.

NEW BUSINESS A. ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT AND TENTATIVE TRACT 16279 (SUBTT16279) - COLORADO PACIFIC COMMUNITIES - A residential subdivision of 77 single- family lots on 57 acres in the Very Low Residential Disthct (Up to 2 dwelling units per acre) of the Etrvvanda Specific Plan located on the south side of Highland Avenue, between Etnvanda and East Avenues. APN: 227-051-01, 04, 05, 06, 09 and 26, and APN. 227-061-05. BACKGROUND: Tentative Tract 16279 was submitted by Colorado Padfic Communities in October 2001. Upon completion of the staff determination completeness letter, dated October 24, 2001, the applicant appealed this determination to the Planning Commission. The applicants appeal focused on the staff comments pertaining to the requirement for equestrian trails to be induded within the trail design. The applicant contended that the project was not within the Equestnan Overlay area, nor was it adjacent to a Community Trail, and therefore, trails were not a regwred component of this tentative trail map. The project is within an area of land designated Very Low Density Residential that is adjacent to the ewsting Community Trail at the comer of Etiwande Avenue and Highland Avenue, and thereby, all development within this area would be provided access th the Community Trail. The Commission established this policy direction upon reviewing the applicants appeal on December 12, 2001. The applicant has submitted a revised tentative map that now reflects the extension of the Community Trail along the south side of Highland Avenue and Southwest Frontage Road, and the provision of the local Equestnan Trail looping throughout the subdivision. ANALYSIS The revised tentative map indudes the extension of the Community Trail from the comer of Etrvvanda Avenue and Highland Avenue. The Community Trail would be extended only to the easterly boundary of the project at this time. Lots 15, 16, and 22 to 25 will have access directly to the Community Trail from the rear yard The local equestrian system provides access to the rear (or side) of the lot from the Local Trail, and should generally provide access for trail nders from the Local Trail to the Community Trail. This is typically accomplished by a senes of looping trails within the tract The looped system allows more convenient access for vehides (deliveries, dean up, etc) and provides a convenient path of travel for short local trail Hiles. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the following issues be reviewed by the Committee. TRAILS COMMENTS • • SUBTT16279-COLORADO PACIFIC COMMUNITIES May 8, 2002 Page 2 Review the looping pattern of the local Vail system for proper intemal crrculaUon for service vehiGes and intemal trial rides Staff has suggested that the Local Trail loop be completed by adding the follovnng components a Complete the loop along the mar/side of'Lots 72 to 74. b.

Lots with aside-to-mar oonfiguraUon present the greatest challenge in providing an appropriate building envelope on the adjacent lots (i e. Lots 7 to 9, 19 to 21, 26 to 29 and 74 to 77). The applicant has depicted a conceptual building envelope on each lot in orcler for the Committee to review the adequacy of the design. 3 Provde vehiGe gates with side access per City Engineer Standard Drevnng 1006-B at all streeUCommumty Trail intersections, including curb cut.

Staff Planner Debra Meier, Contact Planner fr~ ~XH/.B/T ~z ~ ~ (o MAY 8, 2002 TRAILS COMMITTEE ACTION Staff Planner: Debra Meier Project. SUBTT16279 1. The Committee reviewed the looping trail system and recommended that nders be able to access the Community Trail through the local trail system, with as little exposure to the public street as possible. The looped trail system should be connected as recommended by staff comments. 2. The Committee recommended stop signs at all interior intersections, and specifically recommended afour-way stop on the Frontage Road. 3 The Committee was reassured that all applicable trail standards are applied to the local trail system, such as gates, step-thru's, comer cut- offs for proper turning movement, etc. 4. The Committee stressed that no wood trail fencing be allowed, only the PVC standard fence or other alternative, such as wrought iron. 5. The applicant presented to the Committee the plan that illustrated the revised corral/dwelling orientation; the Committee concurred with the Design Review Committee recommendations made previously The Committee had no further comments and recommend approval of the project as amended by the noted comments. ~,~'h~/,B~ ~3 C31~ • DESIGN REVIEW COMMENTS • 7:10 p.m. Debra Meier April 30, 2002 ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT AND TENTATIVE TRACT MAP 16279 (SUBTT16279) - COLORADO PACIFIC COMMUNITIES - A residential subdivision of 77 single-family lots on 57 acres m the Very Low Residential District (up to 2 dwelling units per acre) of the Etiwanda Speafic Plan, located on the north and south side of realigned Highland Avenue, between Etiwanda and East Avenues -APN: 227-051-01,04, 05, O6, 09, and 28; and APN: 227-061, 05. Related file: Tree Removal Permit Backoround and Design Parameters: This site was previously reviewed as Tentative Tract 16195, which was designed using the Optional Development Standards and included an assocated Etiwanda Specific Plan Amendment, and a Development Agreement. The applicant withdrew Tentative Tract 16195 in July 2001. Tentative Tract 16279 was the subject of an appeal to the Planning Commission regarding the Incompleteness Determination, speafically regarding the use of equestrian trails throughout the subdivision. The Planning Commission discussed the appeal on December 12, 2001, concluding that the use of local equestnan trails should be provided in the protect and that the Community Trail be extended along the Highland Avenue Southwest Frontage Road. The current map has been designed to incorporate both the Community Trail and the local equestrian trail system. The protect site is located within the Very Low Density Residential land use district of the Etiwanda Specific Plan. Adjacent properties on the east and south boundanes, are designated Low Density Residential and include existing single-family residential neighborhoods on lots that average approximately 8,000 square feet. All other adjacent properties are within the Very Low Densely Residential land use district and are undeveloped, with the exception of the CCW D water reservoir on the northwest boundary and the Cross and Crown church on the southwest boundary. The 57-acre site is undeveloped; the one existing structure (known as the Kemp House) was completely destroyed by fire in December 2001 and is no longer of any consequence to the project design. The site area includes numerous existing trees, most of which will be removed during development of the site. Specific trees along the site boundary may be preserved depending on overall health of the tree and its relationship to existing improvements associated with the adfecent residents. Staff Comments: The following comments are intended to provide an outtme for Committee discussion. Pnmarv Issues: The following broad design issues will be the focus of Committee discussion regarding this project: The configuration of lots on a side yard-to-rear yard orientation is always problematic in an equestnan neighborhood m order to maintain 70 feet separation between corrals and the residence on the adlacent lot. In this case difficulties occur with the following lots: 8, 20, 26, 39, 40, 74, and 75; where in some instances corrals are restricted to an area nearly adjacent to the residence on the same lot, which is unrealistic. Secondary Issues: Once all of the major issues have been addressed, and time pennittmg, the Committee will discuss the following secondary design issues: 1. Existing single-family residents are located adjacent to portions of the east, south and west boundanes. A detailed analysis of existing conditions at each lot will be required during design of the final grading and development plan. This will be necessary in order to address existing trees, fences, walls, and accessory structures that could be affected by grading and/or construction of a perimeter wall and the local equestnan trail. r1 l.__J DRC COMMENTS TTM 16279-COLORADO PACIFIC COMMUNITIES April 30, 2002 Page 2 2. The Committee should be aware of the degree of tree removal, preservation, and replacement: that will be a component of this project. Staff recommendations are noted below. • All trees within the interior of the property will be removed at the time of development The trees along the south side of Street Aare actualiyoff-site therefore, they will be preserved in-place, however, the trees along the north boundary (south the water reservoir) are on-site, and the entire windrow will be removed and replaced. • Those trees along the east boundary are Blue gum and will removed unless they are closely associated with the rear yards of the adiacent residents, in which case isolated trees may bepreserved in-place. In particular is a large Cottonwood located near the westerly terminus of Catalpa Street, which is suitable for preservation and may be • Considered aesthetically beneficial to the resident at this location. • Along the most southerly boundary is a Blue Gum windrow that isoff-site and will therefore be preserved in-place dunng construction of the boundary wall and development of the equestnan trail. Trees near the southwesterly boundary are all off-site and are associated with ornamental landscaping of the existing residences in this location, these trees should be preserved in-place. • The existing Palm Trees along the north side of Highland Avenue are to be protected in place in accordance with the Etiwanda Specific Plan. However, not all of these trees are in good condition because of the effect of previous fires and general neglect, selective replacement may be appropnate. The individual condition of these trees has not been addressed in the Arborist Report at this time. The existing Blue gum windrow on the south side of Highland Avenue is also noted for preservation in the Etiwanda Specific Plan. However, according the ArbonsYs recommendations, not all trees in this windrow are suitable for preservation because of previous damage, current health or structure. Forthe most partthe trees on the western portion of the nght-of-way are in better condition and can concenrably be preserved as a group, whereas the eastern portion have a higher numberof trees that are damaged or portions of the tree are dead, or lean severally (typically leaning south and west). Perhaps these can be selectively tnmmed and preserved, based on Committee preference and recommendations. Windrow replacement shall occur in accordance with the Etiwanda Specific Plan for the gradual replacement and expansion of new Spotted Gum Eucalyptus windrows. Windrow replacement along public street nght-of-ways shall be replaced with 15-gallon Spotted Gum to match the existing pattern. On-site windrow replacement shall be 5-gallon spaced at 8- feet on center guided by the 330x660 gnd pattern. Staff Recommendation: Staff recommends that the Committee address the issues noted above to their satisfaction pnor to forwarding the protect to the Planning Commission for consideration. ~~~~fi ~2 61~i DRC COMMENTS • • TTM 16279 -COLORADO PACIFIC COMMUNITIES Apnl 30, 2002 Page 3 Design Review Committee Action: Members Present: Larry McNiei, Pam Stewart, Nancy Fong Staff Planner. Debra Meier The Applicant presented an overlay that provided alternative lot arrangements, corral placement, and building envelopes for the lots identified in the comments as being problematic with regard to equestnan use. The Committee concurred with the applicant's solutions, which established 40 feet as the minimum separation between the corral and the home on the same lot as the worst-case setting, and some lots were re-onented in order better sfte corrals. Staff reviewed with the Committee the various walUfence scenarios with respect to the boundary and the equestnan trail. In summary a masonry block wail will be used at the property boundary, and tubular steel fence used along the local trail easement. This design allows for the rear yard drainage function. A PVC rail fence maybe used to define the Conservation Easement trough the lots on the northerly boundary. Committee members venfied that masonry walls would be used along the southwest frontage in final design, which was confirmed by staff. Staff summarized for the Committee's information the basic components of the tree preservation and replacement for the tract as noted in the staff comments. The applicant confirmed that the trees along the most southerly boundary are off-site, and would therefore be protected in-place. The Committee had no further issues or unresolved concerns regarding the project. ~xyiB~r- ~3 Sao cay wino u~,~w,rp Plsnnvp Olvtrbn (BOi) 4~,Z750 ENVIRONMENTAL INFORMATION FORM (Part I -Initial Study) INCOMPLETE APPLICATIONS WILL NOT BE PROCESSED Please note that k Is the insponslbdrty of the epplicent to ensure that the appl~cabon is comp/ate at the Gina o/ submittal, CRy stag xo]I not be avallab/e to per/orm work inquired to pronde missing !n/ormatlon Applicatron Number for the project to which this /orm pertains Prged Tile: Tentative Tract # 16195 Colorado Paafic Communities, Danny Brose Name d Address of project a+'ne4sl 31012 Via Mirador San Juan Capistrano, CA 92675 (949)248-1019 NemedAddiessotdeve7operorprojact ColoradoPacrficCommunities sponsor Contad Person 8 Address Danny Brose Colorado Paafic Communities 31012 Via Meador San Juan Capistrano, CA 92675 (949)248-1019 11PLANNINGtFINALtFORMSI000NTERUNITSTDI WPD 3/00 EXyi.Qir H Ba I Page 1 Name 8 Address of person pmpanng this form (d d~flerent /rom above) N/A Telephone Number •1) Provide a lull scale (&1!2 x 11) copy o/the USGS Quadrant Sheet(s) whtch inGudes Me protect sde, and indicate the sde 6oundanes 2) Provide a set of cola photographs which show repmsentatrve vews Into the site hom the oath, south, east and west wows mto end /rom the site born the primary access points which serve the site, end representafrve views of signficant /eatures trom the sHe Include a map showing /ocabon o/each photograph. 3) Pm/ectLocatron(descnbe) Southeast of Etiwanda and Highland 4) Assessors Parcel Numbers (attach eddrbona/ street d necessary): 227-OS-1, 4, 5, 6, 9, 28 (Parcel 1) 'S) Gross SdeArea (arJsq ft) 56.8 acres ~6) Net Sde Area (total site sae minus area o/public sheets d proposed dedicafroru)• 7)f)escribe any proposed genera/ plan amendment wzone change which would affect the project sUe (attach additional sheet i/necessary The proposed subdivision has been desiened to be consistent and sensitive to the existine surroundin neiehborhoods I ~PLANNING~FINALIFORMSICOUNTERVNITSTDI WPD 3/DO Page 2 ~aa Inlormatron indicated by asfedsk (') is not required o/non-consbuctrm CUP-s unless othennse requested by statf 8)Indude a descnphon o/all permits which wd! be necessary horn the City o/Rancho Cucamonga and other governmental agencies in order ro/ally implement the pmiect Rancho Cucamonga Design Review, Building, Grading, and Encroachment Permits CCWD Sewer/1NaterConnectionsPermrts Caltrans Encroachment Permits, Street R O W Vacation 9JDescnbe the physical sefbng of the sde as rl exists before the proirect including mrorma6m on topography, sail stebi7rty, plants and animals mature trees, hark and roads, drainage courses, and scerdc aspects.

() () () (/) Comments: a-b) The two principal seismic considerations for most properties in Southern California are surface rupturing of earth materials along fault traces and damage to structures and foundations due to seismically-induced ground shaking. There are no known active faults on the site. Wrth absence of faults on-site, the hazard of fault rupture is considered to be very low. There are, however, several known active and potentially active faults that have been mapped in the region that could produce significant ground shaking at the site. The Cal'rfomia Division of Mines and Geology defines the MCE as the maximum earthquake that appears capable of occurring under the presently known tectonic framework. The site is located approximately three miles south of the Cucamonga fault, which is considered one of the most active faults along the southern San Gabriel Mountains, with an MCE of 7.0. The Glen HeleNLytle Creek faun occurs 5Yz miles northeast of the sde and has a MCE of 7.0; and the San Andreas Fault, located approximately 8 miles east of the sde, has a MCE of 8 0. Each of these faults can produce strong ground shaking. The Red Hill Fauk (also known as Etiwanda Avenue Scarp) is located approximately 1'k miles northwesterly of the site, with an MCE of 6.5. The sde is not located within a City adopted Special Study Zone or within the state established Alquist-Pnolo Special Study Zone. Adhering to Crty building standards and the Unrform Budding Code will ensure potential impacts from ground shaking are mmim¢ed c) Liquefaction occurs when loose saturated cohesion-less sods are subject to ground shaking during an earthquake of large magnitude. Additionally, liquefaction may occur when the water table is less than 40 feet below ground surface. Based on ground water depths within the area (approximately 300 feet below surface grade -Chino Basin Watermaster, 1997), the Preliminary Geotechnical Investigation concluded that the potential for liquefaction within the protect area is unlikely. Adhering to the City grading standards, the Unrform Building Code, and recommendations presented in the Preliminary Geotechnical Investigation will ensure that geologic impacts are less than signficant ~3a Initial Study for City of Rancho Cucamonga Tentative Tract Map 16279 Page 5 d) The site is not located near a body of water. The nearest water courses are the Etiwanda/San Sevaine Creek Channel, located approximately 1 mde east of the site, and the Day Creek Channel, located approximately 1 mde west of the site Given the distance and confinement of these water bodies, development of the protect site wdl not expose people or structures to any potential seiche impacts. The site is not within a 100-year flood plain as shown on Figure V-5 of the City's General Plan. e-i) The Preliminary Geotechnical Investigation performed by Leighton and Associates, dated February 2001, is summanzed herein. The site is in the Chino Basin, the northern portion of the Peninsular Range geomorphic provence of Caldomia The basin is bounded by the Cucamonga Fault and the San Gabnel Mountains to the north, the Chino fault and the Puente-Chino Hills to the west, the San Jacinto fault to the east, and the Perris Block to the south. This is an area of large-scale crustal disturbance as the relatively northwestward moveng Peninsular Range Provence collides with the Transverse Range Province (San Gabnel Mountains) to the north. Several active or potentially active faults have been mapped in the region and are believed to accommodate compression assoaated with this collision. The site rests on the Day Canyon alluvial fan and is underlain by a thick accumulation (over 800 feet) of alluvium, including sdt, sand, and gravel that has eroded from the San Gabnel Mountains. The site is generally underlain by a loose to medwm dense silty sand layer that extends 2 to 10 feet below the ground surface. Therefore, the upper 3 to 5 feet of soil is considered to be moderately to highly compressible, and the following mitigation is recommend by the Geotechnical Investigation: 1) Partial removal and recompaction of the upper 3 to 5 feet of soil is necessary to reduce the potential for excessive total and differential settlement. Recommendations for the removal of compressible soils are contained within Section 4.3 of the Preliminary Geotechnical Investigation prepared by Leighton and Associates, dated February 14, 2001. r sP+eum Issues and Supporting Information Sources ~~r ~ ~ s~inwn ruuo.noo sW~ w i ~ i i 4.

Comments: a-e) A Hydrology Report has been prepared by Hall & Foreman, Inc., dated December 22, 2001, and summarized herein The protect will increase demand upon storm dram systems due to the increased runoff from new hardscape and roof tops proposed on the currently vacant site. A Drainage Report has been prepared by Hall & Foreman to address projected storm flows and proposed storm dram construction The City has developed the Master Plan of Drainage for Etiwanda/San Sevaine area, which provides for four types of drainage facilities that are needed to control surface run-off and to protect property within the study area. The facilities include mainline, secondary regional, City master planned faalities, and local facilities Until the regional drainage faalities are constructed, new development is regwred to construct interim faalities to mitigate the impact of the development. As noted below, Master Plan Basin No. 1 will detain a portion of the runoff for the proposed area to reduce the outflow from Basin No. 5 and to minimize the hydrologic impact of the new development. The proposed protect is located within the vicinity of the upper Etiwanda watershed area XIV, Interim Master Plan Basin No. 5. According to the Master Plan of Drainage, Basin No. 5 is proposed to mitigate development of 491 acres of watershed north of Base Line Road until regional faalities are constructed. A temporary Detention Basin will be located on-site in the area of Lots 78 and 79, per the Conceptual Grading Plans. A final report will be required prior to issuance of grading permits or map recordation 2) The developer shall install a local drainage system from the proposed temporary detention basin td Victoria Avenue Storm Drain. ~3~- Initial Study for Tentatroe Tract Map 16279 City of Rancho Cucamonga Page 7 3) A Master Plan Storm Drain in shall be extended in Victoria Avenue to Pecan Avenue, including catch basins for intercepting the local drainage. f-i) The project wdl not interfere with groundwater management practices in the area, as the site is not used for groundwater recharge.

() () () (~) Comments• a) The proposed prolect was screened using the Urban Emission Model 7G (URBEMIS7G) prepared by Jones & Stokes under the guidance of the San Joagwn 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 projects. The crrtena pollutants screened for included: reactive organic gases (ROG), nitrous oxides (NO,~, carbon monowde (CO), and particulates (PM,o). Though not regwred, construction emissions are screened and quantrfied to document the effectNeness of control measures (Table 1). The operational mobile source emissions were calculated using the Institute of Traffic Engineers (ITE) Tnp Generation Manual 6th eddion values programmed into the URBEMIS7G model. In order to reflect the residential nature of the propose prolect, the default fleet mix was modrfied to increase the number of light passenger vehicles and decrease the number of medium and heavy-duty diesel trucks. The proposed prolect post-construction emissions wdl not exceed SCAQMD thresholds of signrficance (Table 2). However, since the South Coast Air Basin is in non-attainment status for ozone and suspended particulates (PM,o) and since sensdive receptors are adjacent to the sde, mitigation measures wdl be used to minimize the project contnbution to regional emission of crdena pollutants Table 1 URBEMIS7G Construction Emissions Summary (Pounds per Day) Source ROG NO, CO PM,o Unmet Met Unmet.

Dunng grading fugitive dust (PM,o) will be generated but will not exceed thresholds as shown in Table 1. According to SCAOMD CEQA Handbook Table 6-3 "Screening Table for Construction," grading actmties for a protect shall not exceed 2.72 acres per day. In order to stay within this threshold the following mitigation measure shall be implemented. 4) Grading activities at the site shall be extended over a period of 21 days, in order to stay within maximum daily grading threshold of 2.72 acres per day. Fugitive dust (PM,a) emissions will not exceed the SCAOMD threshold with implementation of the above mitigation measure However, since the region is in non-attainment for PM,o, and since there are sensitive receptors adjacent to the site, fugitive dust will be mitigated by the following measures: 5) The site shall be treated with water or other soil-stabilizing agent (approved by SCAOMD and RWOCB) daily to reduce PM,o emissions, in accordance with SCAOMD Rufe 403. 6) Etiwanda and Highland Avenues 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. 7) Grading operations shall be suspended when wind speeds exceed 25 mph to minimize PM,o emissions from the site during such episodes. 'P~3lo Initial Study for Tentative Tract Map 16279 City of Rancho Cucamonga Page 9 8) 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 equipment traveling over exposed surfaces will increase NOx and PM,o levels in the area. The following mitigation measures will ensure impacts to sensitive receptors are at less than signrficant levels. 9) 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. 10) The construction contractor shall utilize electric or clean alternative fuel powered equipment where feasible. 11) The construction contractor shall ensure that construction-grading plans include a statement that work crews will shut off equipment when not in use. As shown in Table 1, emissions from architectural coating (painting) will exceed SCAOMD thresholds for ROG without appropriate mitigation. In order to prolect emissions from painting activities, the URBEMIS7G model examines the size and number of structures to be painted Typically homes within residential developments of this size are completed at slightly different times. Therefore not all 79 homes will likely be painted at the same time and thresholds will not likely be exceeded. However should painting actvties occur for all units at the same time the following mitigation measure will ensure ROG emissions are below SCAOMD's thresholds. 12) Contractor shall use low volatile organic compound (VOC) paint and spread painting activities over a period of 60 days. 13) All paints and coatings shall meet or exceed performance standards noted in SCAOMD Rule 1113. Paints and coatings shall be applied either by hand or high volume, low-pressure spray. As shown in Table 2, post-construction activities will not exceed SCAOMD thresholds. Using the Institute of Traffic Engineers (ITE) Tnp Generation Manual 6th edition values, the URBEMIS7G model estimates vehicle trips associated with a designated land use The proposed protect includes the development of 79 single- famdy lots. Based on the number of lots and residential land use, the ITE associates a trip rate of 10.56 trips per day per dwelling unit Approximately 834 trips are associated with the protect. This amount of traffic is minimal and will generate 107 10 pounds of CO emissions per day (442.90 pounds below the SCAOMD threshold). Traffic associated with the protect was protected to occur in the area as the site is designated Very Low Density Residential and is expected to '~3~ Initial Study for City of Rancho Cucamonga Tentative Tract Map 16279 Page 10 generate related traffic trips. Emissions associated with these vehicle taps are below SCAQMD thresholds (Table 2). c-d) The proposed protect is the subdivision of 57 acres of vacant land into 79 single- family lots, in accordance with the City code. The end use of the proposed protect, Very Low Density Residential, will not generate emissions that could cause climatic changes or obtectionable odors. r s~rxam Issues and Supporting Information Sources va.m.or ~ , s~wnmrn weQeuo~, s~wncam rw i ~ i ~ 5.

BIOLOGICAL RESOURCES.

() () () (~) Comments• a) A Biological Site Assessment was conducted by Natural Resources Assessment, fnc. in January/February 2001. The site is uniformly sloped with only minor variations in the topography caused by past agricultural activities The soils are uniformly a sandy loam, which have been highly disturbed by regular disking. The mixed ruderal grassland is the only plant community present on the site. The community has been severely affected by historic agricultural operations, including disking. The mixed ruderal annual grassland plant community is comprised of annual grasses and weeds. Dominant species observed on the site include red brome (Bromus madntensis), ripgut grass (Bromus diandrus), and cheat grass (Bromus tectorum) Short-podded mustard (H~rschfield mcana), white tumbleweed (Amaranthus a/bus), Russian thistle (Salsola ka1Q, and slender wild oats (Avena barbata) are scattered throughout the grassland Isolated stands of scrub vegetation consist of a few individuals of California buckwheat (Enogonum fasc~culatum). None of these shrub stands form any significant stands of habitat. Wildlife activity is low, due primarily to the lack of vegetation cover and low-diversity of habitat types Most of the wildlife seen are bird species that are highly tolerant of 6~ Initial Study for Tentative Tract Map 16279 City of Rancho Cucamonga Page 12 human activity and disturbed area These include California towhee, mourning dove, American crow, and house finch. Mammal speaes observed on the site include the Botta's pocket gopher, California ground squirrel, coyote, and Audubon's cottontail. A complete list of wildlife species observed can be found within Appendix B of the Biological Site Assessment. The Eucalyptus windrows on the site provide potential nesting and roosting habitats for numerous hawks and falcons. The mixed ruderal-annual grassland habitat provides limited, poor quality foraging habitat for the raptor speaes. The raptor speaes are experiencing population declines as a result of habitat loss. As a group raptors are a speaes of concern to the state and federal agenaes. No sensitive speaes or habitat exist on the site, therefore, no mitigation is required. b-c) The mafonty of the trees that exist on-site are proposed for removal to allow for the proposed construction. The trees are subject to replacement pursuant to the City's Tree Preservation Ordinance (RCMC 19.08) and the windrow replacement policy of the Etiwanda Speafic Plan. An Arbonst Report prepared by James Barry, MS, Certified Arbonst, has been completed and 307 existing trees have been individually surveyed in accordance with the City's Tree Preservation Ordrnance. Of the 307 trees, 143 trees are rated as Suitable or Highly Suitable for preservation. Most of the trees on the site are remains of a windrow system planted with Blue Gums to protect the agricultural crops from the high winds. Much of the windrow has been damaged or killed by fires and the Eucalyptus Longhorn Borer. The remaining Blue Gum trees also support a large population of Australian Tortoise Beetles, which eat the edges of the leaves. In addition, due the Santa Ana wind conditions, many of the trees have grown in leaning patterns to the south. This leaning canopy structure would prevent safe preservation. Interspersed with the Blue Gums are 36 Elderberry and two Avocado trees, and along Highland Avenue are five California Fan palms. Other trees observed at the site include three Arizona Cypresses, three Chinaberries, one Cottonwood, five Red Gums, and one Shamel Ash. Transplanting is not a preservation option for the Blue Gums. The California Fan Palms can often be successfully moved, however, the burned trunk tissue and leaning growth habit prevent them from being good candidates. Other small trees could be moved, but their small size means that replacement with better tree speaes would be more appropriate At the present time four of the California Fan Palms along the north side of Highland Avenue have been replaced The replacement is regwred mitigation for the construction of State Route 210 for any of the palms that have been damaged through the construction process Another eight palms will be replaced before CALTRANS has completed their mitigation. In addition, the City has recently had a tree maintenance crew tramming and pruning Heritage trees throughout the Etiwanda area. This activity included the windrow along the south side of Highland Avenue. All trees that had been damaged by fire or Q~ s Initial Study for Tentatroe Tract Map 16279 City of Rancho Cucamonga Page 13 were severely leaning have been removed, and all sucker growth from the remaining trees has been pruned. All remaining trees will be preserved in place as identrfied in the mitigation below. 14) All trees that are off-site along both segments of the south project boundary shall be preserved in place. 15) The Eucalyptus windrow along the south side of old Highland Avenue shall be preserved in-place in accordance with Figure 5-13 of the Etiwanda Specific Plan. The trees shall be protected be means of a Conservation Easement noted on the Final Map. The Conservation Easement shall be disclosed to future homeowners through the CC&R's. 16) The California Fan Palms on the north side of Highland Avenue shall be preserved in place in accordance with Figure 5-13 of the Etiwanda Specific Plan. The trees shall be incorporated into the local equestrian trail along the north boundary of the tract. 17) The on-site windrow replacement shall follow the configuration as shown on the Conceptual Landscape Plan. The on-site windrow shall be planted with 5-gallon Eucalyptus Maculate (Spotted Gum) spaced at 8 feet on center, at a rate of no less than 50 linear feet per acre. d) There is no riparian or wetland habitat on-site. e) Habitat fragmentation and wildlife movement are closely related issues with wildlife movement as an important factor to be considered in discussions of habitat fragmentation. Habitat fragmentation is isolation of one area of habdat from a larger area that provides a more complete and functional system The degree of isolation is highly dependent on the effectiveness of the isolating barrier and the species being considered. Wildlife corridors or linkages, for the most part, counteract the effects of fragmentation. Corridors serve to connect areas of large habitat that may otherwise be separated Corridors also serve to interconnect water, food, and cover availability, spatially linking these three resources with wildlife in different areas. In addition, wildlife movement between habitat areas provides for genetic exchange between wildlife species populations, maintaining genetic variability and adaptability to respond to changing environmental conditions. Wildlife movement also benefits plant species by allowing for the dispersal of pollinators along the linkage, thereby increasing the potential for genetic exchange among different populations of plant species Corridors also directly help plants in that wind dispersed seeds and seeds that are dispersed by animals may either move through the corridor or become established gradually throughout the corridor, colonizing different areas over time However, the lack of topographic variety and the absence of water sources at this site indicate that no wildlife corridors are present at the site. The below-grade State Route 210 Freeway along the northern boundary of the site, and the surrounding lJT Initial Study for Tentative Tract Map 16279 City of Rancho Cucamonga Page 14 residential development areas now present an impassable barrier to all but the most tolerant land-based animals such as house finch, house sparrow, coyote, and striped skunk. More wide ranging bird species such as hawks and swallows are not as significantly affected, but the overall loss of habitat m the region and increased human activity has resulted in the loss of wildlife movement through the site.

The site contains the remnants of several structures, including a large greenhouse, two concrete block irrigation structures, and subsurface piping No ground staining was observed in the immediate vicinity of the remnant structures. A moderate amount of discarded debris occurs on the site, including such items as construction material, household waste, yard waste, and stockpiled soil. Again, there were no surficial soil stains or petroleum odors in the vanity of the debrs. The results of the Environmental Site Assessment found no evidence of past activity on the site associated with significant hazardous waste or materials. There is no evidence of commercial dumping or waste disposal on the site, staining or discolored/distressed vegetation, or underground or above-ground storage tanks. As a result of the histonc agricultural activity at the site, soils were tested for the presence of significant amount of residual pesticides. The laboratory results indicated that all seven samples had low concentrations of residual pesticide (DDE, DDT, and Dieldrin), which were all well below the TTLC regulatory limits identified in CCR Title 22. In addition, these chemicals are typically limited to the top 12 to 18 inches of the soil profile, therefore, future grading activity would further reduce the concentrations of residual pesticide. The following measures are recommended in the Environmental Site Assessment 18) The automotive tires and paint containers found on the site shall be collected and disposed of at a proper off-site facility. All remaining debris shall be inspected upon removal to ensure that potentially hazardous materials (including oils, solvents, and batteries) are not located among the inert debris. 19) If discolored soils, soils with unusual color, or unidentified subsurface structures are encountered during the grading or removal of the debris, a qualified firm shall be contacted and work discontinued in that particular area until the evaluation of the soils/subsurface structures is made. '~`}3 Initial Study for City of Rancho Cucamonga Tentative Tract Map 16279 Page 16 b) Improvements of Highland Avenue and Etiwanda Avenue will include appropriate lighting, curbs, and sidewalks to ensure standard emergency response times and efficient evacuation of residents in the event of an emergency. Additionally, streets within the proposed development will have a paved roadway width of 36 feet to provide adequate emergency vehicle clearance. e) The Etiwanda area and the entire area north of the City limits are more susceptible to fires than any other area within the City due to the presence of the fire-prone Eucalyptus windrows, and, in fact, the area was burned approximately 10 years ago, with many trees damaged. Development of the proposed prolect would remove fire- susceptible trees from the site and improve Etiwanda and Highland Avenues to provide adequate fire suppression equipment access to the area. These improvements will reduce fire hazards within the area. The City Planning Department will ensure the developer satisfies the objectives set forth in the City's General Plan, Section V Public Health and Safety, page V-21.

Will the proposal result in: a) Increases in existing noise levels? () () (~) ( ) b) Exposure of people to severe noise levels? () (~) () ( ) Comments• a) The project would add people and traffic to the area and generally increase ambient noise levels since the site is currently vacant; in addition, the recent opening of State Route 210 has increased the ambient noise level in the immediate area. A Noise Analysis has been conducted by Mestre Greve Associates, dated May 2002. The Noise Analysis determined that the State Route 210 will have the greatest impact to the ambient noise environment. b) The proposed project is the construction of 79 single-family residences near the southeast corner of Highland and Etiwanda Avenues The State Route 210 freeway is located directly north of Highland Avenue; however, is approximately 20 feet below grade. For exterior living areas which are exposed to noise levels greater than 65 CNEL, some form of noise mitigation is required The results of the Noise Analysis indicate that in order to meet the 65 CNEL exterior noise standard, noise barriers will be required for the exterior living areas adjacent to State Route 210 and Highland Avenue. 20) Noise barriers of up to 8 feet in height will be required for the exterior living areas along the north project boundary. The required noise barrier location and height should be relative to the pad elevations of the lots in question. The noise barriers may consist of a wall, a berm, or a combination of the two. The noise barriers must have a surface density 1~1-1 Initial Study for Tentative Tract Map 16279 City of Rancho Cucamonga Page 17 of at least 3.5 pounds per square foot and shall have no openings or gaps. The wall may be constructed of stud and stucco, 3/8-inch plate glass, 5/8 Plexiglas, any masonry material, or a combination of these materials. 21) A final Noise Study will be required to address the interior noise levels when the architectural drawings are submitted for DevelopmenUDesign Review. ~~r s~nrem Issues and Supporting Information Sources ~ M~ ~ ~ e ~ ~ Irryect Incorpore~etl Inpac~ Inoac~ 10.

The nearest fire station is located on Base Line Road, west of Day Creek Boulevard, approximately 2 road miles from the protect site. The Rancho Cucamonga Fire Protection District is responsible for evaluating the protect through the City's Development Review and Growth Management process The proposed protect wdl include structural fire protection standards contained in the Uniform Fire Code. No additional mitigation is proposed. Police protection -Police Protection for the area is provided under a contract with the County Shenff's Department. The proposed residential development wdl include standard security devices such as street lighting, and locks on all windows and doors Incremental increases in police protection is required with all development. The protect would add 79 single-family homes to the area. Schools -The Etiwanda School District and the Chaffey Joint High School Distract serve the protect area Both school distracts have been notified regarding the proposed development.

The proposed development will extend as necessary existing infrastructure available in the immediate area Utility systems installed to serve existing single- family development within the area are adequate and will not regwre major modifications or alterations e) The project will increase demand upon storm dram systems due to the increased runoff from new hardscape and roof tops proposed on the currently vacant site. A Drainage Report has been prepared for the project to address projected storm flows and proposed storm drain construction. The City has developed the Master Plan of Drainage for Etiwanda/San Sevaine area, which provides for four types of drainage facilities that are needed to control surface run-off and to protect property within the study area The facilities include mainline, secondary regional, City master planned faalities, and local faalities. Until the regional drainage facilities are constructed, new development is required to construct interim facilities to mitigate the impact of the development. Master Plan Basin No 1 will attain apportion of the runoff for the J ~W Initial Study for Tentative Tract Map 16279 City of Rancho Cucamonga Page 19 proposed area to reduce the outflow from Basin No. 5 and to minimize the hydrologic impact of the new development The proposed protect is located within the vianity of the upper Etiwanda watershed area XIV, Intenm Master Plan Basin No. 5.

Comments• a-e) An Archaeological Survey has been conducted by Tetra Tech, Inc. The site is undeveloped; however, a variety of miscellaneous trash and other non-historic obiects litter the site, and over 300 trees, largely Eucalyptus windrow, are present. Examples of the obiects scattered throughout the site include empty 55-gallon drums, miscellaneous concrete, automobile parts, beverage bottles and cans, miscellaneous PVC and metal piping, and other discarded household items. The Cultural Resources records check resulted in finding no resources on the proposed parcel nor within '/< mile of the site Specifically, no sites, either listed or deemed eligible for the National Register of Historic Places or the California Register of Historic Resources, were found on-site or within '/< mile of the protect. However, the records check did reveal a possibility that the protect area contains unrecorded archaeological sites, particularly historic-era sites. The records check also revealed that the historic Kemp House, located at 13151 Highland Avenue, was within the protect boundary; however, the structure burned on December 12, 2001 and nothing of historic value remains. However, the Environmental Impact Report prepared for Caltrans for Route 30 Improvements in 1991, identified that the Etiwanda Windbreaks are eligible to be considered on the National Register of Historic Places. Associated with the Etiwanda Colony, the windbreak feature consists of several square miles of eucalyptus windbreaks sectioning off 10-acre parcels for citrus groves, orchards, and vineyards. The overall area of the landscape is approximately 1,700 acres. The Etiwanda Windbreaks meet National Register Critena A, for its association to and agricultural success of the Etiwanda Colony; Criteria B, for its association with the Chaffey brothers; and Criteria C, as representing a significant pattern of historic tradition of land use and human activity. The mitigation measures that are included in Section 7 Biological Resources, pertaining to removal, preservation, and replacement of on-site windrows, acts to preserve the overall character of the Etiwanda Windbreak landscape. No prehistoric, historic, or Native American traditional concern sites or isolated finds were identified during the site survey Nevertheless, several prehistoric archaeological sites have been recorded in the vicinity (beyond 1/4-mile) The Archaeological consultant recommended the following mitigation measure: 22) A qualified archaeologist shall monitor any earthmoving activity at the site. If prehistoric or historic artifacts (over 45 years in age) are encountered during land modification, activities in the immediate area of the find shall be halted and a qualified archaeologist shall assess the 10 Initial Study for Tentative Tract Map 16279 City of Rancho Cucamonga Page 21 find, determine the significance, and make recommendations for appropriate removal and documentation. ~~etlr aQI~tlC01,1 Issues and Supporting Information Sources rm~l,nellr u~w , SlpMflcent Mitlpetlm $IQlIIflCMI No I Inco etl I 1 14.

MANDATORY FINDINGS OF SIGNIFICANCE. a) Potential to degrade: Does the project 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 major periods of California history or prehistory? b) Short term: Does the project 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, definitive period of time. Long-term impacts will endure well into the future.)

(°Cumulatrvely considerable° means that the incremental effects of a project 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 wdl cause substantial adverse effects on human beings, either directly or indirectly? Comments• a) The Initial Study did not identrfy any significant adverse impacts to biological resources. Because of increasing residential development in the immediate area, the protect site does not contain appropriate habitat for any listed endangered or threatened species. Scattered trees occurring throughout the site will require removal to allow for the proposed construction of new homes. A Tree Removal Permit and associated fees will be necessary prior to removal of trees. b) The Initial Study identified short-term impacts to air quality with development of the protect site The short-tens impacts will occur due to proposed construction activities. However, the impacts will cease once construction activities are completed. Implementation of mitigation measures presented in this Initial Study will 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 signficant adverse environmental effects of buildout in the City and sphere of influence. The City made findings that adoption of the General Plan would result in 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 balancing the benefits of development under the General Plan update against the significant unavoidable adverse impacts (CEQA Guidelines Section 15092 and 15096(h). These benefits include less overall traffic volumes by developing mixed-use protects that will be pedestrian friendly and conservation of valuable natural open space With these findings and statements of overndmg consideration, no further discussion or evaluation of cumulative impacts is required.

Please note my concerns and suggestions for unprovements to the plan as follows: 1. I am adamantly opposed to the formation of equestnan trazls in this tract because the Cnty of Rancho Cucamonga has not addressed the issues related to them, namely a] tamely removal of animal excrements so that unwanted insects and odors are not generated, b] the need to increase police and fire protection because of increased vandalism wrath unfettered access by unauthonzed personnel and cnminals who use the easements to perpetrate them cnmes and c] mazntenance to prevent them from becoming an eyesore wrath weed uifestations, erosion and debns If the drainage slope is insufficient, as indicated on the topographical plot, the proposed drainage dutch will become blocked and cause spillage. I expressly reserve the nght to seek legal action agaznst the inclusion of equestnan trazls 2 I have been informed that the eucalyptus trees that are on the property line between the new development and my property are to be removed and replaced wrath new trees, 5 gallon size, 8 feet on centers. These existing trees, while not the most desirable, provide some protection from the high words that occasionally visit the area. I would like to have larger trees planted to help abate the undesirable effects of the wind if possible. 3. The sound abatement wall to be constructed parallel to the old Highland Avenue, slated to terminate at the extension of the property boundary, should extend farther east to shield the three residences on the street The unsightly freeway nght-of--way has already become a attractive nuisance for vandals who wish to access the freeway through the easily defeated chain link fence, and those who wish to dump refuge illegally. Please provide us with this wall to block the intrusion of the freeway and its signs onto our homes and properties, and maintain a consistent image for Rancho Cucamonga. 4 If the equestnan trazls are approved over the objections of the community, then the north-south wall to be constructed on the eastern boundary should be at least 7 to 8 feet tall, as there will supposedly be mounted nders on the trazl Please install access to the sewer line with an easement across lot 47 or 48, or on the boundary line between lot 48 and 49 I will then convert to sewer, and also provide easement across my property to my neighbors on the east. 6. Please dispose of the name Mueller Court and restore the Highland Avenue Street name. Currently any mail addressed to the Mueller court address take 2% to 4 weeks to amve, >f it amves at ally Conversely, any mail addressed to the old Highland address amves within a day or two,

The ongoing decisions and continued changes being made concerning the development of Tract' 16279 has greatly upset'me and I feel I need to say a few words. , In 16oking at the cities web site I quote this from Brad Buller "The purpose of planning is to create a safe, attractive, healthy, and economically strong community In short, planning helps make a better place to live and work". We have all been at this planning for our community for over a yeaz. We, as residents, attended all your meetings and have had some of our own As the development of Etiwanda has progressed over the past years, there has not been much opposition to what was done. There was no one living in the developing areas and therefore, no lives to disrupt. Tract 16279 affects the two oldest communities in Etiwanda These two communities have lived and worked together through many hazd times. This tract severely affects each of our lives. We thought you would have the consideration to include us in the decision of what is best for our area We live there. We know what happens day in and day out -you don't Danny Boise thought enough of us to listen to our needs and come to a compromise that benefited both him and the community. When we started out with the initial plan, my husband commented that the city would continue to hold meetings until we as residents were worn down and the city would do what they wanted anyway We are starting to see that transpire now, but we caze too much for our community to allow ourselves to be tossed aside. Well, we have come full circle. The present plan calls for Pecan to be extended and the sewer lines down the middle of Pecan. It appears that this is just how you wanted it from the beginning. Councilman Paul Biane quotes in the Rancho Cucamonga web site that Public Safety is always important and is committed to protecting its residents with services that always rank highest among the Inland Empire communities Our main concerns are for that very thing -our safety #I. We have asked that the water from Tract 16279 not come down Pecan because of the flood problem that already exists at Pecan and Victoria. The city has tried to resolve this problem, but each time it worsens. Why add to an existing problem? Danny Boise had addressed this issue, and directed the run off to East Ave. #2 We ask that Pecan Ave. not go through because of the trafl;c created by Etiwanda High school and Etiwanda Intermediate School. We already experienced this problem when the barrier at the west end of Vista St. had been taken down When the High School students found out, they used it as a short cut. They sped down our streets and there was an increase of vandalism in the neighborhood. As soon as the barrier was put back up, these problems were resolved as well. If, for our safety, the city insists on an additional way out for our tract, why not extend Lazreta, Pinon, or Vista east to the north south street being bul(t there? And why isn't this concern for salty extended to the upper tract? They have a brick wall being put up where the only second exit could exist We'd like a block wall at the north end of Pecan #3 As for the horse trails, I feel your ruling on this is a blatant conflict of interest How can a commission rule on something that they aze apart oft Members of the commission admitted at the last meeting that they were on the Trails advisory committee. I know that the Alta Loma residents that were here wanted to make sure that horses had their rights in the city. They appear at all meetings that have to do with new housing developments and horse trails. Did you, who are on the Traits committee, advise them of the meeting so that they could tell us what they wanted in our back yazd7 I agree that the horses needs should be met But, tell me how trails in our azea meet their needs? There are no connecting trails over the freeway to other trails in ottr area Residents in our area have only seen one __L. i ~~ ~ horse on any of the existing trails and two Shetland ponies who use the trails to get to the sidewalks. Residents in the newer homes in the area have complained about the continued vandalism and theft they have because of the easy access the trails give to their homes. Is this not another safety issue? We as a community do not want them and we are upset at the apparently underhanded way they were forced on the builder and us Yott are an appointed committee. You are not on this committee to promote your own pnvate agenda. Your job is to serve the community. We, as a community have expressed our concerns for over a yeaz, but it seems you aze not listening. This part of Etiwanda is over 100 years old and many of us have lived here for over 30 years We are part of the City of Rancho Cucamonga. We should be respected for that and we should not be given the run around. You have put a lot of people on hold to undermine our efforts, costing this city, the developer, and us time and revenue We want our community to be safe and beautiful and stay, as it has been designated, the Historical Part of Etiwanda and we hope that you would want this too. We aze not askidg much. We came to you last meeting stating that our needs had been met in that proposal for Tract 16279. Why wasn't that proposal good enough? And what is it that you as a committee are truly trying to dog By going with this current plan you are• • Undermining the safety and creating easy vandalism of Tract 16279 and ours. • Creating a fast tract roadway that will fill our one street with traffic • Give us more flooding problems to deal with thus creating another safety problem for the Intermediate and High School Students • Take away our identity to the past as the Historic Preservation of the azea Lets try to resolve this into awin-win situation.
