Site Characteristics The protect site is located at Heritage Park, In the southeast quadrant of the park, adtoining an existing AT&T mator wireless communication facility The site is approximately 190 feet west of the westerly curb face of Beryl Street The applicant is proposing to add six antennas to an existing 76-foot ball field light pole for the purposes of cellular communication The antennas will be mounted inside an enclosed 10-foot high cylindrical shroud at 50 feet above the grade. The cylindrical shroud will be painted gray to match the ball field light pole, thereby providing a "stealth" design Item A PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT DRC2004-01142 - NEXTEL COMMUNICATIONS September 14, 2005 Page 2 ANALYSIS' A General The wireless communication faality is classified as a Mayor Wireless Communication Facility because of its location on public land. Mayor Wireless Communication Faalities are not permitted to locate within 300 feet of any residential structure or within 300 feet of any existing mayor wireless communication faality, except when co-located on the same wireless facility. The proposed wireless commurncation facility will be 212 feet from the nearest residential structure and 175 feet from the nearest mayor wueless communication monopole at Heritage Park. The proposed Nextel wireless communication facility qualifies as a co-location faality since it will be mounted under an existing AT&T faality on an existing ball field light pole thereby providing wireless commurncation for two careers (AT&T and Nextel) The landscape palette and masonry wall will match the adjacent AT&T shelter No trees will be removed. The proposed Nextel facility meets the screening and site selection gwdelines for wireless communication facilities by providing a stealth type design that is co-located with other wireless communication facilities. An equipment shelter matching the adtacent AT&T egwpment shelter will be necessary for housing the requred electrical and telephone egwpment. Two packaged air conditioner urnts mounted on the west side of the egwpment shelter will provide the required cooling of the telephone and electronic egwpment. In order to ensure that the fans and other mechanical egwpment from the air conditioning urnts are in compliance with the acoustic . levels for residential districts, a sound study was completed by Eilar Assoaates. The equipment shelter will be surrounded by a 7-foot high concrete masonry wall. The sound study indicates that the closest noise sensitive area will be the equestrian trail located dust north of the egwpment shelter The study states that the 7-foot high wall will provide adequate sound attenuation and that the dBA noise level at the equestrian trail will be 52 0 below the daytime maximum of 60 dBA and nghttime maximum of 55 dBA The nearest residences are located over 200 feet from the egwpment shelter, and the sound report calculates that the maximum dBA the residences will be exposed to from the air conditiomng units will be 33 dBA, well under the daytime and nighttime maximum permitted levels With the concrete masonry wall providing sound attenuation, staff supports the proposed location of the Major Wireless Commurncation Faality and the equipment shelter B.

Based on the information available, it is our conclusion that, with the mitigation described in this report, this facility will be in compliance with the City of Rancho Cucamonga nighttime property line noise limit of 55decibels A-weighted (dBA), and the daytune noise limit of 60 dBA. Project Setting The subject property is a public park located at 5700 Beryl Street, in the City of Rancho Cucamonga, California. The Assessor's Parce] Numbers (APN) are 101-631-01-00 and 1061-641- 07-00; zoning is OS, Open Space land use. The adjacent land uses are zoned Residential. The site is developed with a park which contains outdoor playing fields, grassy outdoor spaces, a paved walking trail, and an unpaved equestrian trail around the exterior perimeter of the developed space. The property has a northern upward slope. There is a similar existing AT&T site immediately west. The property to the south of the Park is developed with residences. The proposed equipment will be located in an undeveloped area near the southeast corner of the park, and adjacent to the south side of the equestrian trail. For a graphic representation of the site, please refer to the Thomas Guide Map, Assessor's Parcel Map, Satellite Aerial Photograph, and Topographic Map, attached as Figures 1 through 4, respectively. 639 Encinitas Boulevard, Suite 206, Encinitas, CA 92024.760-T53-1565 • Fax 760-753-2597• info@eilatassoclatescom Tetra Tech, Inc.; Attention: Margie Carreras February 22, 2005 Impact Analysis of Nextel Facility; Heritage Park #CA-8823-A Page 2 The nearest impacted area would be the equestrian trail located immediately north of the enclosure, approximately 2 feet below the top of the northern wall. Project Description The proposed Nextel wireless unmanned telecommunications facility will be located on a 1000- square foot lease area, and will include an enclosed equipment shelter to house the cellular telecommunications equipment. The equipment shelter will be 12 feet wide, by 20 feet long. The Nextel cellular antenna will be mounted on a light pole located north of the shelter. For more project detail, please refer to the Site Plans provided in Appendix A. The proposed site requires the construction of a 6 foot CMU wall surrounding the proposed shelter, which would act as a retaining wall for the northern half of the leased area. This CMU wall would be topped with a 4 foot highwrought-iron fence encompassing the northern half of the exterior wall. r1 LJ Two Bard model WA60 Packaged Terminal Air Conditioner (PTAC) units, providing redundant cooling of the Nextel electromcs equipment housed withm the proposed equipmentshelter, wt11 be used. The external PTAC amts will be wall-mounted on the northern end of the equipment . shelter. The 6-foot retainuig wall will provide a limited noise shielding from the PTAC units, beyond the paved walkway. Please refer to Sheet A3 of the site plans for a drawing of the retainuig wall. Noise and Sound Level Descriptors Noise level or sound level values presented herein are expressed in terms of decibels (dB), or "dBA"for A-weighted measurements that approximate the hearing sensitivity ofhumans.Time- averaged noise levels are expressed by the symbol Lam. Some of the data may also be presented as octave-band-filtered and/or a-0ctave-band-filtered data, which are a series of sound spectra centered about each stated frequency, with half of the bandwidth above and half of the bandwidth below each stated frequency. This data is typically used for machinery noise analysis and barrier- effectiveness calculations. Noise emission data is often supplied per the industry standard format of Sound Power, which is the total acoustic power radiated from a given sound source as related to a reference power level. Sound Power should not be confused with Sound Pressure, which is the fluctuations in air pressure caused by the presence of sound waves, and is generally the format that descnbes noise levels as heard by the receiver.

Applicable Noise Standards The following is an excerpt from the City of Rancho Cucamonga's noise ordinance: 17.08.080 Performance standards. A Intent The intent of this section rs to protect properties rn all residential districts and the health and safety of persons from environmental nuisances and hazards and to provide a p/easing environment rn keeping with the nature of the res~dentral character The performance standards set maximum tolerance l~mrts on adverse environmental effects created by any use or development of land B Adminrstrat~on and Measurement The standards of this section shall be enforced by the city planner Upon discovery of any apparent v~o/anon of these standards, the city planner shall investigate using such instruments as maybe necessary. If a violation rs found to exist, the violation shall be abated as a nuisance as prescribed rn fhis code. C Exemptions The following sources of nuisances are exempt from the prows~ons of this section 1 Emergency equipment, vehicles and dewces; 2.Temporary construction, maintenance, or demolition activities between the hours of six-thirty a m and eight p m ,except Sundays and national holidays.

There will be an increase in traffic noise levels as the area reaches its ultinutte build-out capacity. The future estimated increase in noise levels is 2 dBA to 4 dBA. Potential Projeet-Related Noise Source(s) The new Nextel facility will be equipped with two Bard WA 602, 5-ton Packaged Terminal Air • Conditioners (PTAC) units. The manufacturer's data lists the noise emission levels for this unit as 63.99 dBA at 10 feet. (See Attachment D for the manufacturer's data sheet). The manufacturer does not provide octave data for these units, which is necessary for accurate barrier calculations. Therefore, an approxinuite data table has been developed for this calculation using octave measurements taken from a sinular unit by another manufacturer. This data is shown in Table 1, below.

Other equipment that could be used, but may not necessarily be in simultaneous use, would include a work truck, soil compactor, and a concrete truck. Construction activities would be limited to weekday and Saturday daytime hours (except for legal holidays). Based on the limited amount of construction activity, noise from construction operations would not create a significant noise impact at the nearest residential receptors. - Conclusions and Recommendations _ ; With the proposed 4-foot high wall atop the retaining wall shielding the PTAC side of the ~-- equipmentshelter, the Heritage Park Nextel site CA-8823-A, wt11 be in compliance with the City „ _ of Rancho Cucamonga noise limits. - ~~ These conclusions and recommendations afe based on the best information available. However, noise characteristics of mechanical equipment are normally determined in laboratory tests and may vary for specific installations. Verification of compliance with City of Rancho Cucamonga noise regulations can be provided, if desired, by conducting a noise survey consisting-of sound level measurements at or close to the nearest impacted locations in each direction, after the project is built and is in operation. This is best accomplished in the late night or very early morning hours while the equipment is in full operation, and other noise sources are m;,»m;vpd.If any additional sound attenuation is found to be necessary, it can be specified at that time. We do not expect any additional sound attenuation will be necessary.

A request to amend the regulations for granting of density bonuses and related incentives for consistency with changes in State law made by Senate BIII 1818 BACKGROUND Last year the California legislature enacted significant changes to the State's density bonus law, which went into effect on January 1, 2005 The legislation, Senate BIII 1818 (chaptered as Government Code Sections 65915-65918), requires cities and counties to overhaul their ordinances to bring them Into conformance with new State mandates The previous law allowed for a 25 percent density bonus when housing protects provided 10-20 percent of the units as affordable (depending upon the level of affordability) or units for senior citizens In addition, cities and counties needed to provide at least one incentive such as financial assistance or a reduction In development standards The new law significantly reduces the amount of affordable units that a developer must provide In order to receive a density bonus and requires cities and counties to grant up to three Incentives, depending upon the percentage of affordable units provided It also imposes a new land donation rule, Incentives for childcare faculties, and statewide parking standards for protects that qualify for a density bonus Staff and the Clty Attorney have prepared a draft amendment to the Development Code that would implement the new requirements of SB 1818 Although It Is not possible to predict future acts of the State legislature, staff's intent Is to amend the Development Code to comply with SB 1818 whsle minimizing the likelihood that subsequent code amendments will be necessitated by future refinements in the law ANALYSIS The following section describes the mator provisions of the proposed changes to the Development Code The proposed changes are summarized in Exhibit A Section references to the proposed ordinance (Exhibit B) are also provided. Qualifwnp Protects (1740020 and 1740030) The new law applies to protects that provide . affordable units or units for senior citizens, as follows Verv Low-income units Affordable to households with incomes of 50 percent or less of the County median adtusted for household size (currently $27,850 for a family of four) Item B PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT DRC2005-00639 September 14, 2005 Page 2

designed to meet the physical and social needs of senior atizens (age 55+) Land Dedication Additional density is available to protects that donate land for residential use The land must satisfy all of the following regwrements a Have the appropriate General Plan designation and zoning to permit construction of units affordable to Very Low-income households in an amount not less than 10 percent of the units in the residential development, b Be at least one acre m size or of sufficient size to permit development of at least 40 units, and c Be served by adequate public facilities and infrastructure The base density bonus is 15 percent, with increases in 1 percent increments for each percentage increase in the units that can be accommodated above the minimum 10 percent of the urnts described in (a), up to a maximum of 35 percent The maximum combined density bonus is 35 percent When the land is transferred, it must have all permits and approvals necessary for the development of the Very Low-income units The land and affordable units must be subtect to deed restrictions ensuring continued affordability The City may regwre that the land be transferred to a developer instead of the Cdy Densrty Bonus (1740030) The number of affordable units that a developer must prowde in order to receive a density bonus is significantly reduced from pnor law If at least 5 percent of the units are affordable to Very Low-income households or 10 percent of the units are affordable to Low-income households, then the protect is eligible fora 20 percent density bonus If 10 percent of

the applicant would be entitled to an additional density bonus equal to the square footage of the childcare facility, or an additional incentive Concessions and Incentives (17 40 030 C and 17 40 040) Cities must grant more "concessions or incentives" depending on the percentage of affordable units provided "Concessions and incentives" include reductions in zoning standards, other development standards, design requrements, mixed-use zoning, and any other incentive that would reduce costs for the developer Any protect that meets the minimum cnteria for a density bonus is entitled to one concession from the local government agency, increasing up to a maximum of three concessions depending upon the amount of affordable housing provided For example • For protects that provide either 5 percent of the units affordable to Very Low-income households, 10 percent of the units affordable to Lower-income households, or 10 percent Moderate-income condominiums, the developer is entitled to one concession • When the number of affordable units is increased to 10 percent Very Low-income units, 20 percent Lower-income units, or 20 percent Moderate-income units, the developer is entitled to two concessions • When the number of affordable units is increased to 15 percent Very Low-income, 30 percent Lower-income, or 30 percent Moderate-income units, the number of concessions is increased

Regwrements for Densdy Bonus Projects (17 40 050) Density Bonus Housing Agreement As with the existing law, an agreement between the City and the applicant would be regwred as part of any entitlement for a protect under the terms of the ordinance The agreement would be recorded and would "run with the land" and be binding on subsequent owners Agreements would include the following items • Household income levels • Number, size, location, and construction scheduling of affordable qualifying units • Term of affordability • Annual reporting requirements (with provisions for the City to collect fees to cover its costs) Continued Affordabiiity The ordinance would continue to require 30-year affordability for Very-Low and Low-income units, or longer if regwred by other applicable funding programs However, the requirements for Moderate-income condominwm units have changed significantly The new law specifies that the City must ensure that the initial occupants of Moderate-income units meet the income qualifications However, upon resale, the seller would retain the down payment, the value of any improvements, and the seller's proportionate share of appreciation The City would recapture its proportionate share of appreaation, and those funds must be used within three years to promote Lower- or Moderate-income home ownership Ownership units may not be rented out Development Standards for Affordable Umts (17 40 060) "Target units" must be bwlt concurrently with other units unless approved otherwise by the City They must be included within the development whenever possible, be dispersed with market rate units, and be comparable in size and design to the non-restricted units where feasible Parking Requirements (17 40 060 D) Qualifying protects would be subtect to the following off-street parking requrements, with tandem or uncovered parking allowed 0-1 bedroom units Proposed 1 space 2 spaces 2 1/2 spaces Current 1 3 to 1 5 spaces 1 8 to 2 spaces 2 to 3

particularly for smaller units, as illustrated in Exhibit A More significantly, the City will no longer be allowed to require at least one space per unit within a garage or carport Processing of Density Bonus Applications (1740070): The amended Ordinance would maintain the same procedures as currently exist for processing applications under the new density bonus provisions An application for a Density Bonus Housing Agreement would be required as part of the protect application The draft agreement would then be reviewed by the City and within 90 days a letter would be provided to the applicant identifying issues of concern and procedures for compliance with the ordinance, including whether staff supports the incentives requested or whether alternative incentives wdl be recommended for consideration by the Planning Commission and City Council Agreements would be reviewed by the Planning Commission and approved by the City Council, and would subsequently be recorded by the applicant as a condition of final map approval, or if a map is not regwred, prior to issuance of a bwiding permit. The agreement would be binding on all future owners. ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT The proposed Ordinance would make modifications to the City's Development Code to bang it into conformance with State law The amendment is exempt from the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act pursuant to the provisions of Section 15061(b)(3) of the CEQA Gwdelines. Although density bonuses permitted under the ordinance could result in the development of a greater number of residential units than would be permitted under existing policy, this potential increase would be minor and would also be offset to some degree by the reduced traffic generation rate for affordable and senior housing In addition, childcare facilities would be expected to reduce vehicular travel by providing these facilities on-site for residents. No further environmental analysis is regwred.

A M O N G A Staff Report DATE: September 14, 2005 TO• Chairman and Members of the Planning Commission FROM• Dan Coleman, Acting City Planner BY: Emily Cameron, Associate Planner SUBJECT: VARIANCE DRC2005-00614 - HANK JONG - A request to extend the retaining wall height from 3 5 feet to 5 feet on the east side of Tract SUBTT16421 for retammg and creating of a street located on the south side of W ilson Avenue - APN:0201-182-03 Related Files: Development Review DRC2004-00567 and Tract SUBTT16421. Backoround. On November 13, 2003, the Planning Commission approved Tract SUBTT16421 for eight residential lots The Planning Commission approved the house plans (DRC2004-00567) on May 25, 2005. During the plan check process, the Grading Plans were approved with a 3.5-foot height, consistent with the Development Code The applicant soon realized that with the street plans already approved and under construction, the grade difference was largerthan expected. The applicant brought the revised plans to the City for approval and was notified by staff that the extended height for the retaining wall required approval of a Variance The applicant submitted an application for the Variance on July 13, 2005 Reoulations• The Development Code allows a maximum height for retammg walls of 3 feet in the front yard area. The purpose of the required wall height is to incorporate varying design and natural materials Section 17.08.060K.1 elaborates, °Fences, walls, hedges or similar view obstructing structures or plant growth that reduce visibility and safe ingress and egress of vehicles or pedestrians, shall not exceed a height of 3 feet m any regwred front yard ° The use of open view fencing is also encouraged. The wall is located along the east side of the cul-de-sac street; hence, is within the front yard of the lot to the east The Code establishes a Variance process "to provide flexibility from the strict application of the development standards when special circumstances pertaining to the property such as size, shape, topography, or location deprives such property of privileges entoyed by other property m the vicinity and in the same distract ° The Planning Commission has the authority to grant a Variance request for setbacks if the regwsite findings can be made Analysis. The applicant has requested the Variance because it is based upon the arcumstances of the subtect property and the tustification that the engineer calculated the height of the retammg wall • incorrectly. The builder of the homes has the ultimate responsibility for all aspects of the construction and to ensure that the protect is completed in accordance with the approved plans and is consistent with City requirements. Item C PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT DRC2005-00614 -WILSON ESTATES September 14, 2005 Page 2 In reviewing the request, staff finds that there are unusual constraints (configuration or topography) to tustify the granting of the Variance Primarily, in its pre-development state, the subtect property (Tract SUBTT16421) was approximately 6 feet below the property to the east at the southerly end of the cul-de-sac street. The proposed wall height is necessary to overcome this physical challenge. FACTS FOR FINDINGS• The purpose of a Variance is to provide flexibility from the strict 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: 1. Findin That strict or literal interpretation and enforcement of the specified regulations would result in practical difficulty or unnecessary physical hardship inconsistent with the obtectrves of the Development Code. FacUs: Strict enforcement of the height limit of the retaining wall would necessitate substantial import of fill dirt to artificially raise the southerly portion of Tract SUBTT16421. This would have created other design challenges, including, but not limited to, impacts upon views from residences downhill of said Tract SU BTT16421. Tract SUBTT16421 is under construction, and strict enforcement of the height limit of the retaining wall would also regwre substantial changes to the grading improvements already made to the property, revisions to the approved street improvement plans This would ultimately extend the construction schedule and assoaated impacts upon the surrounding neighbofiood The advanced stage of construction would result in a practical difficulty in meeting the wall height regwrement. 2 Findin That there are exceptional or extraordinary circumstances orconditions applicable to the property involved or to the intended use of the property that do not apply generally to other properties in the same district FacUs. Tract SUBTT16421 is an infill site Prior to the development, Tract SUBTT16421 was approximately 6 feet below the property to the east at the southerly end of the cul-de-sac street. The proposed wall height is necessary to overcome this unique physical design constraint The rough grading of the project has been completed. Property boundary walls have been constructed, and the street improvement plans have been approved To finish the construction of the street, without an extension of the wall height, would be impossible without modifying plans, construction drawings, street improvement plans, and reduang the grade of the street. 3 Findin That the strict or literal interpretation and enforcement of the speafied regulation would deprave the applicant of privileges entoyed by the owners of other properties in the same distract. FacUs: The City, in issuing a Bwlding Permit, has already granted to the ownedbuilder the privilege to construct in accordance with all City regwrements The additional 2 5 feet of wall height would deprave the applicant of building a street to meet the regwrements. 4 Finding That the granting of the Variance will not constitute a grant of special privilege inconsistent with the limitations on the other properties classified in the same district. C'oZ PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT DRC2005-00614 -WILSON ESTATES • September 14, 2005 Page 3 FacUs. The subject property has a unique physical relationship to the adjoining property Prior to development, Tract SUBTT16421 was approximately 6 feet below the property to the east at the southerly end of the cul-de-sac street The applicant was recently granted a minor exception for the property line walls at the time of Development Review by the Planning Commission In the hillside area, with an infill product, the granting of a Vanance would not constitute the granting of a special privilege and would not be inconsistent with the limitations on the other properties classified in the same district There are many infill projects in the area that have approved Variances for wall heights. 5. Findin That 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 vicinity. FacUs: The granting of the Variance would not be potentially materially mjunous to the properties in the vicinity If the Vanance were granted, the height of the wall would be a maximum of 5 feet in height This is consistent with the Hillside Residential areas that typically have infill sites with a need for a retaining wall that exceed the height limit. Light, air, and open space would not be compromised. Based on the information contained in this report, staff believes thatthe facts are evident to make all of the requisite findings. Staff recommends that the Planning Commission approve the Variance • request and adopt the attached resolution. To approve the Variance request, the Planning Commission must find in the affirmative on all five of the requisite 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 exceptional and extraordinary circumstances applicable to the property. ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT• The Variance request is exemptfrom an environmental review as a Class 11 Categorical Exemption pursuant to Section 15303 of the California Environmental Quality Act. CORRESPONDENCE: This item was advertised as a public hearing in the Inland Vallev Daily Bulletin newspaper, the property was posted, and notices were mailed to all property owners within a 300-foot radius of the project site RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends that the Planning Commission approve Variance DRC2005-00614 and adopt-;he attached Resolution of Approval Dan Coleman Acting City Planner DC.EW/ge Attachments Exhibit A - Site Plan/ Location Map Exhibit B - Wall Elevation/ Wall Detail Exhibit C - Grading Plan Draft Resolution of Approval for Variance DRC2005-00614 ~3 ~- pacPERrr owNe~7 tar AAOIUS 447PS (626) ]503944 1210E lAHBERTAVE_ EL WIRE G 91TII B ~ ~ 2m ,c. ~a _11r~--.~..~.-~ n A PROJECT INFORMATION 1013-7 WILSON AVENUE RANCHO CUCAMONGA CA SCALE 1" = 200' _ I6 / a I)? i I ~ .

A. Recitals. 1 Wilson Estates L P. filed an application for the issuance of Vanance DRC2005-00614, as descnbed in the title of this Resolution Hereinafter m this Resolution, the subject Vanance request is referred to as "the application ° 2. On the 14th day of September 2005, the Planning Commission of the City of Rancho Cucamonga conducted a duly noticed public heanng on the application and concluded said heanng on that date. 3. All legal preregwsites prior to the adoption of this Resolution have occurred. i f B Resolution. NOW, THEREFORE, it is hereby found, determined, and resolved by the Planning Commission of the City of Rancho Cucamonga as follows. 1 This Commission hereby specifically finds that all of the facts set forth in the Recitals, Part A, of this Resolution are true and correct 2 Based upon the substantial evidence presented to this Commission dunng the above-referenced public heanng on September 14, 2005, including wntten and oral staff reports, together with public testimony, this Commission hereby specifically finds as follows: a The application applies to the property located on the south side of W ilson Avenue, with a street frontage of 198 feet and lot depth of 615 feet, and is presently rough graded; and b. The properties to the north, south, and east are single-family residences, to the west is Hermosa Elementary School, and c The Development Code allows single-family properties within the Very Low Residential District to maintain a 3-foot maximum wall height m the front yard area, and d. The applicant is proposing to increase the wall height to 5.5 feet to allow a retaining wall for street improvement purposes; and e The application applies to the property currently rough graded homes slated for construction, and C PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO 05-84 DRC2005-00614 -WILSON ESTATES September 14, 2005 Page 2 f. Some of the surrounding properties with single-family homes meet the regwred retaining wall height; and g. Strict enforcement of the height limit of the retaining wall would necessitate substantial import of fill dirt to artificially raise the southerly portion of Tract SUBTT16421 This would create other design challenges, including, but not limited to, impacts upon views from residences downhill of said Tract SUBTT16424. Tract SUBTT16421 is under construction, and strict enforcement of the height limit of the retaining wall would also regwre substantial changes to grading improvements already made to the property, revisions to the approved street improvement plans. This would ultimately extend the construction schedule and assoaated impacts upon the surrounding neighborhood The advanced stage of construction would result m a practical difficulty m meeting the wall height regwrement. h. There are many mfill protects m the area that have approved variances for wall heights. 3. Based upon the substantial evidence presented to this Commission during the above-referenced public hearing and upon the specific fmdmgs of facts set forth in paragraphs 1 and 2 above, this Commission hereby finds and concludes as follows a That strict or literal interpretation and enforcement of the specified regulations would result m practical difficulty or unnecessary physical hardship inconsistent with the obfectives of the Development Code; and b. That there are exceptional or extraordinary arcumstances or conditions applicable to the properly involved or to the intended use of the property that do not apply generally to other properties in the same district; and c That strict or literal interpretation and enforcement of the specified regulation would not deprive the applicant of privileges entoyed by the owners of other properties m the same district, and d. That the granting of the Variance will not constitute a grant of special privileges inconsistent with the limitations on other properties classified in the same district; and e. That the granting of the Vanance will not be detrimental to the public health, safety, or welfare or materially infunous to properties or improvements m the vwinity 4 The Planning Commission hereby finds and determines that the protect identified m this Resolution is categorically exempt from the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act of 1970, as amended, and the Gwdelmes promulgated thereunder, pursuant to Section 15303 of the State CEQA Gwdelmes 5 Based upon the fmdmgs and conclusions set forth in paragraphs 1, 2, 3, and 4 above, this Commission hereby approves the application C~ PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO 05-84 DRC2005-00614 -WILSON ESTATES September 14, 2005 Page 3 6 The Secretary to this Commission shall certify to the adoption of this Resolution.

The total number of on-site parking allowed is 211, the country club is providing 217 spaces ANALYSIS A General The applicant is proposing to replace an existing clubhouse with a new split-level facility The facility wdl be slightly larger than the existing clubhouse currently on-site, and will be located in the same location with a similar footprint The main level of the new structure will be 25,065 square feet and the lower level at 10,111 square feet, for a total of 35,176 square feet Uses on the main level include a ballroom, restaurant, administration offices, and men's and women's locker rooms The lower level wdl consist mainly of cart storage, a pro shop, snack bar, and utility/storage The design of the new facility is Tuscan style architecture with a clay mission tde roof and stacked stone and plaster as the main exterior materials The prolect will be built in phases beginning with improvements to the southwest portion of the parking lot When the lower parking lot is completed, the existing clubhouse will be demolished During the construction of the new clubhouse facility, members will use temporary faalities that include 2 modular units for offices (approximately 1,440 square feet) and separate modular bwldings for the golf shop, changing rooms, and restrooms Golf cart storage will be within a 40-foot by 100-foot tent A small catering truck wdl be on-site for club member use The temporary faalities will be removed upon completion of the new clubhouse All temporary parking will be on the property of the country club and require no shared parking off-site A generator or transformer on site will provide temporary power A Tree Removal Permit application (DRC2005- 00486) has been submitted and must also be considered The pro/ect will regwre the removal of 37 trees within the scope of work The protect proposes to add 110 new trees and relocate some trees, if possible Many of the existing trees that will be removed have extensive root systems that make relocation not wable The property is zoned Low Residential, however, the 2001 General Plan Update changed the land use designation to Open Space in recognition of the golf course The City will be processing a zone change in the future from Low Residential to Open Space for consistency with the General Plan Land Use Element f / PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT DRC2005-00068-RED HILL COUNTRY CLUB September 14, 2005 Page 3 B Variances The applicant is proposing vanances for bwlding height and the height of two retaining walls Building Height The applicant ~s requesting a vanance to allow the new bwlding to nse above the 30-foot height limit for development within areas of the City that are subfect to the provisions of the Hillside Overlay District The proposed height for the new budding will be 41 feet 9 inches as measured to the highest points of the split-level structure (i e , tower elements), while the matonty of the structure wail be at or below the 30 foot height limit The clubhouse will be setback approximately 240 feet from nearest surrounding single-family residences Retaining Walls The applicant is also requesting a variance to construct two retaining walls in excess of the 3-foot height limd imposed by the Development Code The first retaining wall will be located south of the new clubhouse and will be approximately 100 feet in length and up to a maximum of 7 feet at ds highest point The increase in height is necessary to maintain the existing natural grades and accommodate the parking area improvements The second retaining wall is located northwest of the clubhouse and is intended to maintain existing grades around an existing putting green and to create appropriate slopes that are conducive to safe golf cart maneuverability around the clubhouse The maximum height for this wall will be 12 feet FACTS FOR FINDINGS In order to grant approval for a conditional use permit and vanances, the Planning Commission must make findings to support the action Generally, these findings focus on the appropriateness of the site for development (conditional use permit) and on special circumstances applicable to a specific site to warrant a change in a development standard (variance) Specific findings for each action are found in the attached resolutions of approval The following is a summary of findings for each action Conditional Use Permit The country club and surrounding facilities require a Conditional Use Permit because of the proposed use The property is zoned Low Residential (2-4 dwelling units per acre) With a conditional use permit, the property may be utilized as a Golf Coarse Staff supports the use of the property based on the location, site, and the parking allocated for the site The proposed footprint of the building is similar in size and mass and will incorporate additional parking to satisfy the Development Code requirements Variance for Bwlding Height Literal enforcement of the building height would not allow the height to exceed 30 feet from the finished grade The 35,176 square foot building is located on 120 acres of open golf course property A vanance is necessary because of the tuck-under cart storage, pro shop, and maintenance facilities The increased height is only visible on the west side of building which is not visible to the surrounding residents The staff supports the incorporation of architectural towers, which include file roofing and similar Tuscan architectural features to the main building The request for a vanance is necessary because of the unique topography (8-15 percent slopes) and the preexisting surrounding conditions of the parking lot and golf course area r ~ L_J 7 ~ ~~ PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT DRC2005-00068-RED HILL COUNTRY CLUB September 14, 2005 Page 4 1 Findin That strict or literal interpretation and enforcement of the specified regulations would result in practical difficulty or unnecessary physical hardship inconsistent with the objectives of the Development Code FacUs There are exceptional circumstances applicable to the subject property that does not apply to the majority of other properties The proposed clubhouse would replace an existing clubhouse in the same location and in a simtlar size The existing site conditions include a substantial slope in grade from northeast to southwest in the clubhouse area The property is not typical of the surrounding area which is single-family hillside homes The clubhouse is located within 120 acres of golf course and related uses The literal interpretation would enforce regulations applicable to single-family homes, such as the 30-foot height limit, which is an unnecessary hardship fora 35,176 square foot golf course facility 2 Findin That there are exceptional or extraordinary circumstances or conditions applicable apply generally to other properties in the same district FacUs The property is urnque in that it is the only golf course in the City in a residential zone The increased height is only visible on the west side of bwlding which is not visible to the surrounding residents The height limit would enforce a residential regwrement (30-foot maximum) on a building that is approximately 10 times the size of asingle-family home in this area 3 Findin That the strict or literal interpretation and enforcement of the speafied regulation would deprave the applicant of privileges enjoyed by the owners of other properties in the same district Facts The property is unique in its land use as a golf course/country club The granting of a variance would not constitute a granting of a special privilege and would not be inconsistent with the limitations on the other properties classified in the same district The properties in the surrounding area have extended wall heights and architectural elements which exceed the height limit of 30 feet 4 Findin That the granting of the variance wtll not constitute a grant of special privilege inconsistent with the limitations on the other properties classified in the same district FacUs The granting of the variance for the increased bwlding height will not be potentially materially in~unous to the properties in the vicinity 5 Findin That the granting of the variance wdl not be detrimental to the public health, safety, or welfare or materially incurious to the properties or improvements in the vicinity u ~;G~ PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT . DRC2005-00068-RED HILL COUNTRY CLUB September 14, 2005 Page 5 FacUs The clubhouse will be setback approximately 240 feet from nearest surrounding single-family residences, therefore, there will be no impact from increased building height Variance for Retaining Walls Literal enforcement of the height limit for retaining walls would necessitate substantial reconstruction the property because of the presence of a grade differential that was created when the clubhouse was onginally constructed Enforcement of the wall height limit would necessitate a 2 1 or steeper slope and result in a reduction in parking spaces, contrary to the Development Code regwrement 1 Findin That strict or literal interpretation and enforcement of the specified regulations would result in practical difficulty or unnecessary physical hardship inconsistent with the obtectives of the Development Code Facts There are exceptional arcumstances applicable to the subtect property that does not apply to the matority of other properties The existing site conditions include a substantial slope in grade from the northeast to the southwest in the clubhouse area The protect design uses this grade difference to "tuck-under" the lower level of bwlding which results in the need for retaining walls The property is not typical of the surrounding area, which is single-family hillside homes The clubhouse is located within 120 acres of golf wurse and related uses The literal interpretation would enforce regulations applicable to single-family homes, such as the 3-foot retaining wall limit, which is an unnecessary hardship fora 35,176 square foot golf course facility 2 Findin That there are exceptional or extraordinary circumstances or conditions applicable to the property involved or to the intended use of the property that do not apply generally to other properties in the same district FacUs The property is unique in that it is the only golf course in the City in a residential zone The increased retaining wall height is only visible from the west (golf course itself), and is not visible from the surrounding residences because of the greater than 200 foot setback, intervening clubhouse, landscaping and other structures Stnct or literal interpretation of the wall height would also limit the height to 3 feet forcing the applicant to delete the parking and reduce the size of the country club 3 Findin That the strict or literal interpretation and enforcement of the specified regulation would deprive the applicant of pnvdeges entoyed by the owners of other properties in the same district FacUs The property is unique in its land use as a golf course/country club The granting of a variance would not constitute a granting of a special • privilege because the property is already being used for a golf course and clubhouse Many properties in the surrounding Red Hill area have wall heights which exceed the height limit of 3 feet ~-~' G ~ PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT DRC2005-00068-RED HILL COUNTRY CLUB • September 14, 2005 Page 6 Findin That the granting of the Variance will not constitute a grant of special privilege inconsistent with the limitations on the other properties classified in the same district Facts The granting of the variance for the increased bwlding height wdl not be potentially materially incurious to the properties in the vianity If the Variance is granted, only portions of the wall will be a maximum of 12 feet in height This is consistent with the Hillside Residential District, including infill properties, and surrounding properties which have received wall height variances 5 Findin That the granting of the variance will not be detrimental to the public health, safety, or welfare or materially incurious to the properties or improvements in the vicinity FacUs The granting of the variance would allow construction of a new clubhouse, with associated parking and amernties, to replace an existing clubhouse The increased retaining wall height would not be detrimental to properties or improvements in the vcirnty C Design Review Committee The Design Review Committee (McPhail, Stewart, Coleman) reviewed the protect and bwlding elevations on August 2, 2005, and unanimously agreed to forward the protect to the Planning Commission with no revisions to the proposed elevations D Gradmg and Technical Review Committee The Grading and Technical Review Committees reviewed the protect on August 2, 2005 Both Committees recommended approval of the protect subcect to conditions contained in the attached Resolution of Approval E Tree Removal Permit In addition to the development, there is a Tree Removal Permit application for the removal of 37 trees on-site These trees are directly within the scope of development, the applicant is planrnng to provide a total of 110 new trees, and relocate some trees if possible, after demolition of the clubhouse Many of the existing trees have too large of a root system and will not be relocated F Neighborhood Meeting A neighborhood meeting was held on July 21, 2005, at the existing Red Hill Country Clubhouse A total of 14 residents attended The residents posed questions in regard to construction traffic, noise, trees, and improvements to the public and private properties surrounding the clubhouse The applicant has met with and discussed additional issues with two neighbors Most of the neighbors were accepting of the protect G Environmental Assessment The applicant prepared Part I of the Initial Study and staff . completed Part II and Part III Staff determined

The proposed clubhouse building replaces an existing clubhouse that Is similar in number of stones. The general concept of the design is that the one story Is facing east towards the adjoining properties (340 + feet away). This one story mass Is within the 30' feet height limit with only architectural projections that exceed the 30 feet, which are exempt. The two story portion is on the downhill side towards the west, which is only visible from the golf course and cannot be seen by any neighboring properties This orientation and massing is what is current on the existing clubhouse and similar to the proposed clubhouse 2. These are two retaining walls that exceed the 3 feet height which require a variance for the following reasons. ~h~ br+ ~ ~, ~ 2 1 Kea nw ~.ounu y ~.wu Rancho Cucamonga, CA Page 2 A. The retaining wall at the northwest portion of the clubhouse is required to maintain clearance of the putting green, and extension of the golf cart staging area. This also gives the protect slope and grades that are practical to a cart path around the clubhouse. B The retaining wall to the south of the clubhouse is required to maintain the natural grades of the existing landscape area to the west of the parking area. This retaining wall will be a "cribwall". If you have any questions, I well be pleased to respond Thank you.

context and those mator issues or constraints which affect the design of the protect The protect proposed is demolition of the existing Red Hill Country Club (built m 1965) and rebwld of an entirely new faality, including the administration budding, golf shop, changing rooms, golf cart storage, dining room, banquet room, lounge, snack bar, lockers, pro shop, changing facilities, and administration support offices According to the applicant, the proposed new clubhouse and all faalities will be part of Phase I The construction of the Cabana, swimming pool, and a portion of the parking will be provided with Phase II, however, no Cabana elevations were provided The new Clubhouse facility is two-story the main level consisting of 25,065 square feet and the lower level consisting of 10,111 square feet (35,176 square feet total) The lower level will consist mainly of cart storage, along with the pro shop, snack bar, and utility storage The main level would incorporate all other main uses such as the ballroom, restaurant, administration offices, and men's locker room The facility will be slightly larger than the existing Clubhouse currently on-site, and will be located in approximately the same location, with a similar footprint The new faality is proposed with Tuscan Style architecture with a clay mission tde roof and stacked stone and plaster as the main exterior materials The budding incorporates new detail such as wood trellises, terraces, archways and columns cornice trim detail, and arched windows The entry incorporates a Porte-cochere, shutters, and tower elements According to the applicant, there will be a phased Development Plan, starting with the southwest portion of the parking Once the lower parking lot is complete, the members will use the existing entrance of the clubhouse to gain access to the to the temporary facilities All temporary parking will be on the property of the Country Club, no shared parking off-site is necessary During the time of construction, many of the facilities will be provided in 12-foot by 60-foot trailers Additionally, one catering truck will be on-site with shade structures, as well as the golf cart storage, which will be a 4,000 square foot tent structure Temporary power will be provided by a generator or transformer on-site In addition to the development, there is a Tree Removal Permit application for the removal of 37 trees on-site These trees are directly within the scope of development, the applicant is planning to provide a total of 110 new trees, and relocate some trees Many of the existing trees have too large of a root system, and will not be relocated L ~r 2. ~0 DRC ACTION AGENDA DRC2004-00068 AND DRC2005-00527 -RED HILL COUNTRY CLUB, INC August 2, 2005 Page 2 Variance The property has existing slopes greater than 8 feet in height and is within the Hillside Overlay District adopted by City Council Ordinance No 628 The new clubhouse facility istwo-story and exceeds the 30-foot hillside building envelope (see Sheet A-7) The protect has been designed to "tuck into" slope as encouraged by the Hillside Development Ordinance to minimize grading The clubhouse is a one-story structure to the north and east The two-story element is limited to the downhill sides (west and south elevations) of the clubhouse Since the clubhouse is over 600 feet away from the nearest residence to the west and south, and the golf course is surrounded by dense landscaping, there will be no visual impact to the surrounding area Staff Comments The following comments are intended to provide an outline for Committee discussion Major Issues None -The applicant has worked diligently with staff to resolve mator issues Secondary Issues Once all of the mator issues have been addressed, and time permitting, the Committee wdl discuss the following secondary design issues Provide a mimmum of 5 feet between the proposed crib retaining walls and padang lot trees to provide adequate area for the root systems to grow Use deep root watenng system and root control barriers There are three areas of concern 1) the edge of the golf course south of the clubhouse, 2) the east side of the tennis court parking lot, and 3) the 2-foot retaining wall down the middle of a planter in the main clubhouse parking lot Policv Issues The following items are a matter of Planning Commission policy and should be incorporated into the protect design without discussion All new walls constructed shall be constructed of decorative matenals This includes any retaining walls facing public view All metal overhead doors should be painted to match the exterior wall stucco color Code Issues The following items are minimum City standards and should be incorporated into the protect design without discussion All parking lot planters shall be a minimum of 6 feet in width (outside dimension) with a 6-inch curb on either side and a 12-inch curb where the last parking space adtoins a planter area Staff Recommendation Staff recommends that the Design Review Committee approve DRC2004-00068 and Variance DRC2005-00527and forward the protects to Planning Commission for approval Design

Maintenance records shall be available at the constructwn site for City venflcation. 2) Prior to the issuance of any Grading Permits, the developer shall submit Construction Plans to the City denoting the proposed schedule and projected equipment use. Construction contractors shall provide evidence that low-emission mobile construction equipment will be utilized, or that their use was investigated and found to be infeasible for the protect. Contractors shall also conform to any construction measures imposed by the South Coast Air Quality Management Distract (SCAQMD) as well as City Planning staff. 3) All paints and coatings shall meet or exceed performance standards noted m SCAQMD Rule 1113 Paints and coatings shall be applied either by hand or high-volume, low-pressure spray. 4) All asphalt shall meet or exceed performance standards noted m SCAQMD Rule 1108 5) All construction equipment shall comply with SCAQMD Rules 402 and 403 Additionally, contractors shall include the following provisions Reestablish ground cover on the construction site through seeding and watering. Pave or apply gravel to any on-site haul roads.

Affer implementation of the preceding mitigation measures, the General Plan FEIR identified the cdywide increase in operational emissions as a significant unavoidable adverse impact for which a Statement of Overriding Considerations was ultimately adopted by the City Council c) As noted in the General Plan FEIR (Section 5 6), continued development would contribute to the pollutant levels in the Rancho Cucamonga area, which already exceed Federal and State standards The General Plan FEIR identified the citywide increase in emissions as a significant and adverse impact for which a Statement of Overriding Considerations was ultimately adopted by the City Council The protect proposed is consistent with the General Plan for which the FEIR was prepared and impacts evaluated d) Sensitive receptors are defined as populations that are more susceptible to the effects of pollution than the population at large The SCAOMD identifies the following as sensitive receptors long-term health care facilities, rehabilitation centers, convalescent centers, retirement homes, residences, schools, playgrounds, child care centers, and athletic facilities According to the SCAOMD, protects have the potential to create significant impacts if they are located within 1/4 mile of sensitive receptors and would emit toxic air contaminants identified in SCAOMD Rule 1401 The protect site is located wdhin 1/4 mile of a sensitive receptor An existing church is located on the west side abutting the protect Potential impacts to air quality are consistent with the Public Health and Safety Super-Element within the Rancho Cucamonga General Plan During construction, there is the possibility of fugitive dust to be generated from grading the site The mitigation measures listed under b) above will reduce impact to less-than-significant levels e) Typically, the uses proposed do not create obtectionable odors No adverse impacts are anticipated 4 BIOLOGICAL RESOURCES Would the pro/ect

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 motor periods of California history or prehistoryv b) Does the protect have impacts that are individually O O O (~) 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 prolects)~ c) Does the protect have environmental effects that will O O U (~) cause substantial adverse effects on human beings, either directly or indirectly Comments a) The site is not located in an

previous development and street Improvements, it is unlikely that any endangered or rare species would inhabit the site b) If the proposed protect were approved, then the applicant would be required to develop the site in accordance with the City of Rancho Cucamonga General Plan The 2001 General Plan was adopted along with the certification of a Program FEIR, Findings of Fact, and a Statement of Overriding Considerations for significant adverse environmental effects of build- out in the City and Sphere of InFluence The City made findings that adoption of the General Plan would result in significant adverse effects to aggregate resources, prime farmland, air quality, the acoustical environment, library services, and aesthetics and visual resources Mitigation measures were adopted for each of these resources, however, they would not reduce impacts to less-than-significant levels As such, the City adopted a Statement of Overriding Considerations balancing the benefits of development under the General Plan Update against the significant unavoidable adverse impacts (CEQA Guidelines Section 15092 and 15096(h)) These benefits include less overall traffic volumes by developing mixed-use protects that will be pedestrian friendly and conservation of valuable natural open space With these findings and the Statement of Overriding Considerations, no further discussion or evaluation of cumulative impacts is required c) Development of the site under the proposed land use change would not cause substantial adverse effects on human beings, edher directly or indirectly The Initial Study identifies construction-related emissions of criteria pollutants as having a potentially significant impact Proposed mitigation measures would further reduce emission levels Additionally, impacts resulting from air quality would be short-term and would cease once construction activities were completed The Initial Study identified potentially significant impacts associated with the exposure of people to increased noise levels Mitigation measures contained in this Initial Study will ensure impacts are at less-than-significant levels EARLIER ANALYSES Earlier analyses may be used where, pursuant to the tiering, program EIR, or other CEQA process, one or more effects have been adequately analyzed in an earlier EIR or Negative Declaration per Section 15063(c)(3)(D) The

PROJECT AND SITE DESCRIPTION: A. Protect Density: 11.55 dwelling units per acre B. Surrounding Land Use and Zoning: North - Apartments and single-family homes on large lots/Medium Residential (8-14 dwelling units per acre) South - Undeveloped land (across 9th Street)/Industrial Park (Subarea 17) East - Non-conforming industrial uses/General Industrial (Subarea 17) West - Cask-N-Cleaver restaurant complex (including restaurant, storage, two-story corporate office bulding, cabinet shop, and parking)/General Commercial ITEMS H & I PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT SUBTT17455 AND DRC2005-00220 -RANCHO CUCAMONGA HOUSING PARTNERS September 14, 2005 Page 2 C. General Plan Designations: Protect Site - Medium Residential (8-14 dwelling units per acre) North - Medium Residential (8-14 dwelling units per acre) South - Generallndustrial East - Generallndustrial West - General Commercial D. Site Characteristics: The protect site has a gradual slope to the southwest and is largely undeveloped with only one existing house and detached garage located in the southeast corner The existing house and garage, which appear to have been bwlt circa late 1950s, is not noteworthy historically or architecturally and will be removed from the site to accommodate the protect. Existing trees are generally concentrated along the south and north boundaries of the protect. E. Parking Calculations: Number of Number of Type Parking Spaces Spaces of Use Ratio Regwred Provided 3-bedroom condo 2 per unit 128 128 Visitor Parking 1 per 4 units 16 36 Total 144 164 ANALYSIS: A. General: The applicant is proposing to develop 64 new condominium units. On July 6, 2005, the City Council approved a General Plan Amendment and zone change for the property to Medium Residential District (8-14 dwelling units per acre), allowing the protect to go forward. The proposed protect consists of 64 two-story condominum units located within three budding types (mostly in groups of 3 and 5 units) dispersed throughout the site, with recreation building and amenities, and on-site visitor parking. The buildings are placed on axis to 9th Street and are accessed by an internal loop drroe Each unit will have three bedrooms and come in two sizes: 1,429 square feet and 1,552 square feet. Attachedtwo-car garages are provided for each unit, as are private yard areas, some which are substantial in size. The design of the protect is a contemporary interpretation of the Mediterranean architectural style and includes the use of stacked stone, wood accents, decorative window surrounds, concrete file roofs, and two textures of stucco. Perimeter walls along 9th Street and in some areas near the common pool will be constructed of split-face block, pilasters, and metal fencing. B. Tentative Tract Mao SUBTT17455 Concurrent with the Development Review application is Tentative Tract Map SUBTT17455. The tract map proposes the subdivision of air space for residential condominium purposes, which will allow individual ownership of the units and common ownership of the buldings, open space, parking, and driveways. ,y, Z ~° PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT SUBTT17455 AND DRC2005-00220 -RANCHO CUCAMONGA HOUSING PARTNERS September 14, 2005 Page 3 C. Design Review Committee: The protect was reviewed by the Design Review Committee (Fletcher and Coleman) on July 19, 2005. At the meeting, staff identified five minor design issues for discussion regarding the protect The changes included requests for more details on the installation of stone veneers on the buildings, better treatment of second-story windows to add a sense of depth, a modification in the architectural design for the ends of the buildings (i a ,Building Type 2), added architectural treatment to the narrow walkway between units B2 and B2 Reverse, removal of the small roof cover element on the recreation building, and revision to the garage door designs including the addition of windows to provide added visual interest to the drive aisle. The applicant agreed to implement the above recommendations, and the Committee recommended that the item be forwarded to the Planning Commission for finaFapproval when the above changes were made. The applicant has met with staff and implemented the above changes. D. Grading and Technical Review Committee• The protect was reviewed by the Committee on August 8, 2005. The Committee conceptually approved the Grading and Drainage Plans for the protect, but requested that the applicant provide agreements for off-site drainage facilities for Building Department review and approval. E. Environmental Assessment: An Initial Study was prepared for the entire protect that, in addition to the above items, also included a General Plan Amendment, zone change, and Parcel Map (PM17156) for the site. On July 6, 2005, the City Counal adopted the proposed Mitigated Negative Declaration in assoaation with their approval of the General Plan Amendment, zone change ordinance, and Parcel Map for the site. The Planning Commission is requested to adopt a new Mitigated Negative Declaration for the tract map and design review for the 64 condominwm units. The new Mitigated Negative Declaration includes the same mitigation measures identified for the project in the Irntial Study. Based on the findings of the Initial Study, staff determined that the protect could have a potentially significant adverse environmental impact unless reduced to a level of less-than-significant by the implementation mitigation measures. Areas identified as subtect to potential environmental impacts were in Cultural Resources, Hydrology & Water, Noise, Air Quality (short term during site preparation), and Geology. Mitigation measures have been included as conditions of approval with this phase of the project. As part of this project, the applicant has also applied for a Tree Removal Permit for all trees (approximately 32) located on the condominium site. Only six of these trees (including four Eucalyptus trees) were rated suitable for retention in the arbonst's report prepared for the protect. NEIGHBORHOOD MEETING' Two neighborhood meetings to discuss the proposed protect were held in May 2004 and in May 2005 (six residents attended each meeting). At both meetings, the residents were generally supportive of the protect. During the second meeting, one resident of the townhomes at the southwest corner of Madrone Avenue and Arrow Route voiced her concern about parking on her street by new residents from the future condominwms; however, the two protects do not share the same street frontage The proposed protect fronts onto 9th Street and only has access to 9th Street. Anyone parking along Madrone Avenue in front of the existing townhomes would have to walk 1/4 mile to get to the entrance of the proposed development. ~~ ~ 3 PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT SUBTT17455 AND DRC2005-00220 -RANCHO CUCAMONGA HOUSING PARTNERS September 14, 2005 Page 4 CORRESPONDENCE• This item was advertised as a public hearing in the Inland Valley Daily Bulletin newspaper, the property was posted, and notices were mailed to all property owners within 600-foot radws of the project site to properties to the north, south, east, and west.

Related File• Tentative Tract SUBTT17455. Design Parameters. The applicant is proposing to develop 64 new condominium units on Lot 1 of Parcel Map 17156, tentatively approved by the Planning Commission on May 25, 2005. The subject site is approximately 5 54 acres in size and is located approximately 600 feet east of the northeast corner of 9th Street and Madrone Avenue On July 6, 2005, the City Council approved a General Plan amendment and zone change for the property to Medium Residential District (8-14 dwelling units per acre). Tentative Tract Map SUBTT17544 has been filed to create the proposed 64 condominium units on the subject site. The protect site has a gradual slope to the southwest with trees generally concentrated along the south and north boundaries of the project. Surrounding the project site are apartments and single-family homes on large lots to the north, vacant land zoned for Industrial Park uses (Subarea 17) to south (across 9th Street); non-conforming industrial uses to the east; and townhome and single-family development to the west (across Madrone Avenue). The proposed protect consists of 64 two-story condominium units located within three building types (mostly m groups of 3 and 5 units) dispersed throughout the site, with recreation building and amenities, and on-site visitor parking. The bwldings are placed on axis to 9th Street and are accessed by an internal loop drive Each unit will have three bedrooms and come in two sizes: 1,429 square feet and 1,552 square feet. Attached two-car garages are provided for each unit. The design of the protect appears to be a contemporary interpretation of the Mediterranean architectural style. Staff Comments: The following comments are intended to prowde an outline for Committee discussion. Major Issues: The following broad design issues wdl be the focus of Committee discussion regarding this project. Staff has previously met with the applicant and the architect to discuss the design for the new condominium units At that time, staff requested that the protect design be further studied to add further architectural detailing and/or building materials to all sides of the proposed buildings and to better delineate the individual units The applicant has made a number of changes including the addition of accent stonework, two colors and textures of stucco, and details to better define the windows and doorways. Whale the design of the units has been improved, staff believes that further enhancements are necessary to address the overall size of the buildings and their strong horizontal massing of the st~ re. ~ ~ 2 ~XNt 8~T i i r1 l._.J DRC ACTION AGENDA DRC2005-00220 - RANCHO CUCAMONGA HOUSING PARTNERS July 19, 2005 Page 2 Staff suggests that the following enhancements be considered to further enhance the design of the protect: 1. Clarify what "stone° material will be used on the units. The elevations indicate an "ashlar° (square like shape) masonry unit, while the perspective drawings and color board indicate a "ledge stone" material and application. Staff also requests further clarification of the masonry block type to be used for walls (planters, perimeter, retaining, etc.) around the site The two masonry materials must be architecturally compatible, particularly when they are used together such as they are at the entry gates. 2. Provide details on how the proposed "stone° veneer will be applied to the buildings, particularly the garage sides of the buildings. The "stone° veneer should be designed to appear as integral part of the design rather than merely an applique material. In some cases, there is no break in the wall plane where the stone veneer and stucco material of adjoining unit meet. Further, the details should clearly show where the stonework veneer begins and ends. 3. Modify the design of the exterior side elevations of the end units on all three buildings to provide more visual interest and balance of elements. Staff believes these sides of the building will be more visible than the interior sides of the building and require a stronger design. For example, the design for the end unit in Building Type 2 relies too much on the two colors of stucco to make up for a weak design. On other end unit elevations, the pop-out wall section at the stairwells appears awkward and oddly proportioned in relation to the height and width of the other elements on this side of the building. 4. Consider different ways to architecturally treat the pedestrian pathway between the Units B and B-Rev in Budding Types 1 and 3, and address what will be a long and narrow walkway (only 5 feet in width) that is also partially enclosed by two-story wall planes Some items to consider are a solid roof, decorative trellis, etc. 5. Eliminate the small roof cover element sitting on top of the large plaster wall on the entry side of the Community Building. Staff believes this element is unnecessary and detracts from the appearance of the budding. Secondary Issues: Once all of the major issues have been addressed, and time permitting, the Committee will discuss the following secondary design issues. 1 There are no secondary issues. Policy Issues: The following items are a matter of Planning Commission policy and should be incorporated into the project design without discussion. 1. All private yards are required to be landscaped with ground cover, shrubs, and one tree per 150 square feet of area. A concrete patio, tree, hydroseed lawn, and irrigation are proposed for the private yard area of each unit. 2. No wood fencing is allowed. Construction of block walls between the units (i.e. along interior side and rear property line) is regwred for permanence, durability, and design consistency. 3. Access gates to private yards of each unit and the recreation buildings/amenities shall be constructed of a material more durable than wood. Acceptable materials include, but are not limited to, wrought iron and PVC. All gates and fences will be constructed of powder-coated metal. ~~ ,= 2 ~ DRC ACTION AGENDA -- ----- --- ------ --- - -- --- - -- - --- DRC2005-00220 -RANCHO CUCAMONGA HOUSING PARTNERS July 19, 2005 Page 3 Staff Recommendation: Staff recommends that the Malor Issues identified in this report and those identified by the Committee be discussed with direction being given to the applicant as to what should be addressed to obtain Design Review Committee recommendation of approval to the Planning Commission. Desion Review Committee Action: Members Present: Fletcher, Coleman Staff Planner: Michael Diaz Staff identified five minor design issues for discussion regarding the protect. The applicant agreed to staff's recommendations and to further enhance the design of the units. The changes include: Provision of details on the installation of stone veneers on the buildings; Better treatment of second story windows to add a sense of depth; Adjustment of the architectural design for the ends of the bwldings (i.e., Building Type 2); Restudy of the design and architectural treatment of the narrow walkway between units 62 and 62 Reverse to make it less alley like, and Removal of the small roof cover element on the recreation budding. Vary garage door designs and add windows to provide added visual interest to drive aisle. The Committee supported the overall design concept for the proposed condominwms, and recommended that the item be forwarded to the Planning Commission for final approval when the above changes have been incorporated. r~j Z 2~' -- ENVIRONMENTAL INFORMATION FORM (Part I -Initial Study) Crty orRancho CuwmorWe (Please type or pent clearly using rnk.

Description of Project: The applicant is proposing to develop 64 new condominium units approximately 600 feet east of the northeast corner of 9th Street and Madrone Avenue. To facilitate the proposed project a number of actions are required including a change to the General Plan and Zoning land use designations for the two existing parcels that currently compnse the site, approval of a parcel map to create three new separate parcels, and a tract map and design review for development of the proposed condominium units. .Z- 3 ~ Initial Study for City of Rancho Cucamonga DRC2005 00106 DRC2005-00107 SUBTT17455 & DRC2005-00220 Page 2 The following is a summary description of the current land use designations and uses and a breakdown of the other elements of the project.

Because the change in land use designations involves more than one parcel, a new parcel map has been proposed to create three new separate parcels out of the two parcels that curren0y comprise the site. The proposed parcel map will result in a smaller overall land area for the Cask-N-Cleaver complex, the setting aside of an area for the future development of a neighborhood park, and the creation of a parcel large enough to develop the proposed condominiums. The proposed lot sizes and their new land use designations are summarized in the following table.

There are no State Scenic Highways within the City of Rancho Cucamonga. c) The site is located at the northeast corner of 9th Street and Madrone Avenue and is partially developed with improvements (structures and parking lot) being concentrated generally al southwest quadrant of the site around the Cask 8 Cleaver restaurant and office/warehouse bwldings. Surrounding the site are apartments and single-family homes on large lots to the north; vacant land zoned for Industrial Park uses (Subarea 17) to south (across 9th Street); non-conforming industrial uses to the east, and townhome and single-family development t0 the west (across Madrone Avenue). The changes in the land use designations for the subject properties and subsequent development of condominiums and a park will not degrade the casual quality of the area. Furthermore, design review is required prior to approval. , To minimize the unsightly appearance of overhead utility lines and utility enclosures, the developer of the condominwm portion of the project will be requued to underground existing and new utildy lines and facilities along the adjacent portion of 9th Street in accordance with Planning Commission Resolution No. 87-96, unless exempted by said Resolution. d) The project will result m the installation of new streetlights and building-mounted or site lighting used in the project area.

Comments: a) The site is not designated as Prime Farmlands, Unique Farmland, or Farmland of Statewide Importance There are approximately 1,300 acres of Prime Farmlands, Unique Farmland, or Farmland of Statewide Importance within the City of Rancho Cucamonga, of which about one-third is either developed or committed to development according to General Plan Table IV-2 The mator concentrations of designated farmlands are located in the southern and eastern portions of our City that is characterized by existing and planned development. Further, two-thirds of the designated farmlands parcels are small, ranging from 3 acres to 30 acres, and (heir economic viability is doubtful, therefore, they are not intended to be retained as farmland in the General Plan Land Use Plan. The General Plan FEIR identified the conversion of farmlands to urban uses as a significant unavoidable adverse impact for which pro ect s consfi Otent resit gthe Gene all Plan for wh ch the FEIR was prepared and mpacts evaluated. b) There is no agnculturally zoned land within the City of Rancho Cucamonga.

Comments: a) pollu~ant levels ine theaRalnchoECucamonga aseac wh ch aUeady exceed Federal and tState standards The General Plan FEIR identified the citywide increase in emissions as a significant unavoidable adverse impact for which a Statement of Overriding Considerations was ultimately adopted by the City Council. The proposed project is consistent with the General Plan for which the FEIR was prepared and impacts evaluated. ~ `I`~ - Initial Study for City of Rancho Cucamonga • DRC2005 00106 DRC2005-00107 SUBTT17455 8 DRC2005-00220 Page 7 b) Dunng the construction phases of development, on-site stationary sources, heavy-duty construction vehicles, construction worker vehicles, and energy use will generate emissions. In addition, fugitive dust would also be generated during grading and construction activities. While most of the dust would settle on or near the protect site, smaller particles would remain m the atmosphere, increasing particle levels within the surrounding area. Construction is an on-going industry in the Rancho Cucamonga area Construction workers and equipment work and operate at one development site until their tasks are complete. They then transfer to a different site where the process begins again. Therefore, the emissions associated with construction activities are not new to the Rancho Cucamonga area and they would not violate an air quality standard or worsen the existing air quality in the region. Nevertheless, fugitNe dust and equpment emissions are requued to be assessed by the South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD) on a protect-speafic basis. Therefore, the following mitigation measures shall be implemented to reduce impacts to less-than-significant levels: . 1) All construction equipment shall be maintained In good operating condition so as to reduce operational emissions. The contractor shall ensure that all construction equipment is being properly serviced and maintained as per manufacturers' specifications. Maintenance records shall be available at the construction site for City verification. 2) Prior to the issuance of any grading permits, the developer shall submk Construction Plans to the City denoting the proposed schedule and projected equipment use. Construction contractors shall provide evidence that low-emission mobile construction equipment will be utilized, or that their use • was investigated and found to be infeasible for the project. Contractors shall also conform to any construction measures imposed by the South Coast Alr Quality Management District (SCAQMD) as well as City Planning staff. 3) All paints and coatings shall meet or exceed performance standards noted in SCAQMD Rule 1113. Paints and coatings shall be applied either by hand or high-volume, low-pressure spray. 4) All asphalt shall meet or exceed performance standards noted to SCAQMD Rule 1108. 5) All construction equipment shall comply with SCAQMD Rules 402 and 403. Additionally, contractors shall include the following provisions: Reestablish ground cover on the construction site through seeding and watering. • Pave or apply gravel to any on-site haul roads. • Phase grading to prevent the susceptibility of large areas to erosion over extended periods of time. Schedule activities to minimize the amounts of exposed excavated soil during and after the end of work periods. • Dispose of surplus excavated material in accordance with local ordinances and use sound engineering practices. • Sweep streets according to a schedule established by the City if silt is carried over to adjacent public thoroughfares or occurs as a result o1 hauling. Timing may vary depending upon the time of year of construction. • Suspend grading operations during high winds (i.e., wind speeds exceeding 25 mph) In accordance with Rule 403 requirements. Maintain a minimum 24-inch freeboard ratio on soils haul trucks or cover payloads using tarps or other suitable means. ~~ Z 4~2 Initial Study for City of Rancho Cucamonga DRC2005 00106 DRC2005-00107 SUBTT17455 & DRC2005-00220 Page 8 ' 6) The site shall be treated with water or other soil-stabilizing agent (approved by SCAOMD and Regional Water duality Control Board [RWOCB]) daily to reduce pM~o emissions, in accordance with SCAOMD Rule 403. 7) 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. g) The construction contractor shall utilize electric or clean alternative fuel- powered equipment where feasible. g) The construction contractor shall ensure that Construction Grading Plans include a statement that work crews will shut off equipment when not in use. After implementation of the preceding mitigation measures, short-term construction air quality emissions would remain significant as noted in the General Plan FEIR (Section 5.6). Based upon on the URBEMIS7G (Urban Emissions Model 7G) model estimates in Table 5.6-4 of the General Plan Final Environmental Impact Report (FEIR), Nitrogen Oxides (Nox), Reactive Organic Gases (ROG), and Particulate Matter (PMio) would exceed SCAOMD thresholds for significance, therefore, would all be cumulatively significant 'rf they cannot be mitigated on a profecl basis to a level less than significant. The General Plan FEIR identified the atywide increase in emissions as a significant unavoidable adverse impact for which a Statement of Overriding Considerations was ultimately adopted by the City Council. In the long-term, development consistent with the General Plan would result in significant • operational vehicle emissions based upon on the URBEMIS7G model estimates in Table 5 613 of the General Plan FEIR; therefore, would all be cumulatively significant d they cannot be mitigated on a project basis to a level less-than-significant. The following mitigation measures shall be implemented. 10) All residential and commercial structures shall be required to Incorporate high-efficiency/low-polluting heating, air conditioning, appliances, and water heaters. 11) All residential and commercial structures shall be required to Incorporate thermal pane windows and weather-stripping. After implementation of the preceding mitigation measures, the General Plan FEIR identified the citywide increase in operational emissions as a significant unavoidable adverse impact for which a Statement of Overriding Considerations was ultimately adopted by the City Council. c) As noted in the General Pian FEIR (Section 5 6) continued development would contribute to the pollutant levels in the Rancho Cucamonga area, which already exceed Federal and State standards. The General Plan FEIR identified the citywide increase in emissions as e significant and adverse impact for which a Statement of Overriding Considerations was ultimately adopted by the City Council The project proposed is consistent with the General Plan for which the FEIR was prepared and impacts evaluated. d) Sensitive receptors are defined as populations that are more susceptible to the effects of pollution than the population at large. The SCAOMD identifies the following as sensdive receptors: long-term health care facilities, rehabilitation centers, convalescent centers, retirement homes, residences, schools, playgrounds, child care centers, and athletic facilities. According to the SCAOMD, projects have the potential to create significant impacts rf they are located within Y,-mile of sensitive receptors and would emit toxic air contaminants identified in SCAOMD Rule 1401. According to the SCAOMD, proiects have the potential to create significant impacts if they~re I~ ted~~hm '/,-mile of sensitive receptors and would Initial Study Tor nR~~n05-001 C ~RC2005-00107, SUBTTI7 City of Rancho Cucamonga emit toxic air contaminants identified in SCAQMD Rute 1401. The project site is surrounded by residential units, and is located within Y.-mtle of Los Amigos Elementary School, a sensitive receptor Potential impacts to au quality are consistent with the Public Health and Safety Super-Element within the Rancho Cucamonga General Plan. During construction, there is the possibility of fugitive dust to be generated from grading the site. The mitigation measures listed under b) above will reduce impact to less-than-significant levels. e) Typically, the uses proposed do not create objectionable odors. No adverse impacts are anticipated r~ L J BIOLOGICAL RESOURCES. Would the project: 4 . a) Have a substantial adverse effect, either directly or () () () (/) through habitat modifications, on any species identified as a candidate, sensitive, or special status species in local or regional plans, policies, or regulations, or by the California Department of Fish and Game or U.S. Fish and Wildlrfe Service? b) Have a substantial adverse effect on riparian () () () (/) habitat or other sensitive natural community identified in local or regional plans, policies, or regulations or by the California Department of Ftsh and Game or US Fish and Wildlife Service? c) Have a substantial adverse effect on federally () () () (/) protected wetlands as defined by Section 404 of the Clean Water Act (including, but not limited to, marsh, vernal pool, coastal, etc.) through dared removal, filling, hydrological interruption, or other means? d) Interfere substantially with the movement of any () () () (/) native resident or migratory fish or wildlife species or with established native resident or migratory wildlife corridors, or impede the use of native wildlife nursery sites? e) Conflict with any local policies or ordinances () () () (/) protecting biological resources, such as a tree preservation policy or ordinance9 f) Conflict with the provisions of an adopted Habitat () () () (/) Conservation Plan, Natural Community conservation Plan, or other approved local, regional, or State habitat conservation plan? Comments: a) Surrounding the site are apartments and single-family homes on large lots to the north; vacant land zoned for Idustnal Park uses (Subarea 17) to south (across 9th Street); non- conforming industrial uses to the east; and townhome and single-family development to the west (across Madrone Avenue) The undeveloped portions of the site (north and eastern areas) have been previously disrupted during annual discing for weed abatement. According to the General Plan Exhibit IV-3, and Section 5 3 of the General Plan FEIR, the project site is not within an area of sensitive biological resources, therefore, development will not adversely affect rare or endangered species of plants or animals because of the fact that the project is surrounded by urbanized land uses and Is consistent with the General Plan Land Use Plan. .L ~~ T )v t i Initial Study ~ ~ .}F ~a < fr~~i 17455. & City of Rancho Cucamonga, b) I ~ .The protect site is located in an urban area with no natural communities. No riparian habitat exists~on-site, meaning the protect will not have any impacts,in this area of contain. i c) No wetlahd habitat is present on-site. As a result, protect implementation will have no impact on these resources. ,, d) The matohty of the surrounding area has been or is being developed, thereby disrupting any wildlife corridors that may have existed No adverse impacts are anticipated. e) There'are approximately 145 trees on-site including two Eucalyptus windrows: one remnant located near 9th Street and the other at the northerly boundary. Because of their size, many of trees qualify'as heritage trees as defined by Tree Preservation"Ordinance. According to the arbonst report (Knapp Associates -March 12,~-2005), more than half of the Uees on-site, including the.two windrows, are in poor. condition and should be replaced. As part of this protect, the applicant has applied for a tree removal permit for those trees (approximately 32) on th'e condominium site: Only six of these trees (including four Eucalyptus trees) were rated suitable for-retention. The trees located on the other-two parcels will be retained in place until'a later date when plans for further development are submitted for City review and approval. ` f) The protect site is not located within a conservation area according to the General Plan, Open Space and Conservation Plan, Exhibit IV-4. No conflicts with habitat conservation plans wdl occur. 5. CULTURAL RESOURCES. Would the project: a) Cause a substantial adverse change in the () () () ('~) significance of a historical resource as defined In § 15064.57 b) Cause a substantial adverse change in the () (/) () ( ) significance of an archeological resource pursuant to § 15064.ST c) Directly or indirectly destroy a unique O (/) O ( ) paleontological resource or sde or unique geologic feature? d) Disturb any human remains, including those () () () (/) interred outside of formal cemeteries? Comments' a) As described above, the site is partially developed with structures. The existing single-family residence/guesthouse, located at 8714 9th Street, was built in the late 1960s and has no aFchitectural or historic value. This home will be demolished to make way for the new condominwms on Lot 1 of the proposed subdivision map. The .City of Rancho Cucamonga has identified the Cask-N-Cleaver restaurant and six cottages located on Lots 2 and 3 of the proposed map as having potential local and national historical landmark status. These buildings were built by Konstany Stys, a Polish immigrant and creator of the Russian Village neighborhood in nearby Claremont, California, which is listed on National Register of Historic Places. No change to these structures will be made as part of the proposed change in the General Plan and Zoning land use designations, nor with the subsequent development of the condominium units on the far east of the protect site (Lot 1 of Tentative Parcel Map No. 17156). Therefore, there wdl be no impact. b) There are no known archaeological sites or resources recorded on the protect site; however, the Rancho Cucamonga area is, l5no~n to ~ e been inhabited by Native Americans Jyl7/ • i • Initial Study for City of Rancho Cucamonga . DRC2005 00106 DRC2005-00107 SUBTT17455 8 DRC2005-00220 _ Page 11 according to the General Plan FEIR (Section 5 11). Construction activity, particularly grading, soil excavation and compaction, could adversely affect or eliminate existing and potential archaeological resources. The following mitigation measures shall be implemented: 1) If any prehistoric archaeological resources are encountered before or during grading, the developer wdl retain a qualified archaeologist to monitor construction activities, to take appropriate measures to protect or preserve them for study. With the assistance of the archaeologist, the City of Rancho Cucamonga will: Enact interim measures to protect undesignated sites from demolition or significant modification without an opportunity for the City to establish its archaeological value. Consider establishing provisions to require incorporation of archaeological sites within new developments, using their special qualities as a theme or focal point Pursue educating the public about the area's archaeological heritage. Propose mitigation measures and recommend conditions of approval to eliminate adverse project effects on significant, important, and unique prehistoric resources, following appropriate CEQA guidelines. Prepare a technical resources management report, documenting the inventory, evaluation, and proposed mitigation of resources within the project area. Submit one copy of the completed report with original illustrations, to the San Bernardino County Archaeological Information Center for permanent archiving. c) The General Plan FEIR (Section 511) indicates that the Rancho Cucamonga area ~s on an alluvial fan. According to the San Bernardino County database, no paleontological sites or resources have been recorded within the City of Rancho Cucamonga or the sphere-of-influence, including the protect site; however, the area has a high sensitivity rating for paleontological resources. The older alluvium, which would have been deposited dunng the wetter climate that prevailed 10,000-100,000 years ago dunng the Late Pleistocene epoch of the Quaternary period, when the last "Ice Age" and the appearance of modern man occurred, may contain significant vertebrate fossils. The project site is underlain by Quaternary alluvum per General Plan Exhibit V-2; therefore, the following mitigation measures shall be implemented: y) A qualified paleontologist shall conduct a preconstruction Tield survey of the project site. The paleontologist shall submit a report of findings that will also provide specific recommendations regarding further mitigation measures (i.e., paleontological monitoring) that may be appropriate. Where mitigation monitoring is appropriate, the program must include, but not be limited to, the following measures: Assign a paleontological monitor, trained and equipped to allow the rapid removal of fossils with minimal construction delay, to the site full-time during the interval of earth-disturbing activities. Should fossils be found within an area being cleared or graded, divert earth-disturbing activities elsewhere until the monitor has completed salvage. If construction personnel make the discovery, the grading contractor should immediately divert construction and notify the monitor of the find. Submit a summary report to the City of Rancho Cucamonga. Transfer collected specimens with a copy of the report to San Bernardino County Museum. /~ /~- ~~ Initial Study for City of Rancho Cucamonga BTT17455, & DRC2005-00220 Page 12 d) The proposed protect is in an area that has already been disturbed by development The protect site has already been disrupted by construction of the existing structures and annual discing for weed abatement No known religious or sacred sites exist within the protect area. No evidence is in place to suggest the protect site has been used for human burials. The California Health and Safety Code (Section 7050 5) states that if human remains are discovered on-site, no further disturbance shall occur until the County Coroner has made a determination of origin and disposition pursuant to Public Resources Code Section 5097 98. As adherence to State regulations is required for all development, no mitigation is required in the unlikely event human remains are discovered on-site. No adverse impacts are anLupated. 8.

The Rancho Cucamonga area is subject to strong Santa Ana wind conditions during September to April, which generate blowing sand and dust, and create erosion problems. Construction activities may temporarily exacerbate the impacts of windblown sand, resulting in temporary problems of dust control, however, development of this project under the General Plan would help to reduce windblown sand impacts in the area as pavement, roads, bwidings, and landscaping are established. Therefore, the following fugdive dust mitigation measures shall be implemented to reduce impacts to less-than-significant levels: 1) The site shall be treated with water or other soil-stabilizing agent (approved by SCA~MD and RWQCB) daily to reduce PM,o emissions, in accordance with SCAoMD Rule 403 or re-planted with drought resistant landscaping as soon as possible. 2) Frontage public streets shall be swept according to a schedule established by the City to reduce PM,o emissions associated with vehicle tracking of soil oN-site. Timing may vary depending upon the time of year of construction. 3) Grading operations shall be suspended when wind speeds exceed 25 mph to minimize PM,o emrssions 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. c) The General Plan FEIR (Section 5 1) indicates that subsidence is generally associated with large decreases or withdrawals of water from the aqufer The protect does not require the withdrawal of water from an existing aquifer. The site is also not located within a geotechmcal hazardous area or other unstable geologic umt or soil type according to General Plan FEIR Figure 5.1-2 No adverse impacts are anticipated. d) The majority of Rancho Cucamonga, including the proled site, is located on alluvial soil deposits. These types of sods are not considered to be expansive. According to the ' geotechmcal investigation report prepared for the site (by C.H.J. Inc., 2005), soils encountered on the sde generally consist of gravelly sands of medium to very dense states, consistent with the Gravelly Loamy Sand soil identdied for this area of the City in General Pian 6chibit V-3.

The City participates in a countywide interagency coalition that is considered a full service Hazardous Materials Division that is more comprehensive that any other in the state. The City has adopted a Standardized Emergency Management System Multi-Hazard Funct(onal Plan to respond to chemical emergenaes. Compliance with Federal, State, and local regulations concerning the storage and handling of hazardous materials and/or waste will reduce the potential for significant impacts to a level less-than-significant. No adverse impacts are expected. b) The proposed protect does not include the use of hazardous materials or volatile fuels.

Compliance with Federal, State, and local regulations concerning the storage and handling of hazardous materials or volatile fuels will reduce the potential for significant impacts to a level less-than-signifia3nL No adverse impacts are anticipated. c) Los Amigos Elementary school is located within '/.-mile of the project site. However, the change in land use designations for the site, subsequent construction of residential units, and a future park are not changes or uses that will emit hazardous emissions, handle hazardous, acutely hazardous materials, substances, or waste that will impact the school. Therefore, no impacts are anticipated. d) The proposed project site is not listed as a hazardous waste or substance materials site . A Phase I Environmental Assessment (ALTEC Testing 8 Engineering -March 2005) was prepared for the property (existing residence and guesthouse) at 8714 9th Street. No evidence of discarded drums or illegal dumping of hazardous materials, or presence of significant chemicals were discovered on the site other than household cleaners and chemicals that will need to be properly disposed prior to demolition of the structures in question. As part of the Phase I assessment, an asbestos survey was also conducted which revealed small quantities of asbesto~s1gont~ ing~ aterials (e.g., floor tile, Transits vent pipe, ~l / 2'" C~ Initial Study for 107.

Based on the above information and standard requirement regarding the abatement of asbestos-containing materials prior to demolition, no significant adverse impact in this area is anticipated e) The site is not located within an airport land use plan and is not within 2 miles of a public airport. The protect site is located approximately 1-mile north of the Ontario Airport and is not directly in the flight path of ds runways. No impact is anticipated. f) The nearest private airstrip, Cable Airport, is Located approximately 2'/: miles to the west of the City's westerly limits. No impact is ant~apated. g) The City's Multi-Hazard Disaster Plan, which is updated every two years, includes policies and procedures to be administered by the Rancho Cucamonga Fire District in the event of a disaster. Because the overall site is and wdl remain accessible from the street, and the condominium portion of the protect will comply with all applicable City codes and have at least two points of public street access, no adverse impacts are antiapated. h) Rancho Cucamonga faces the greatest ongoing threat from awind-driven fire in the Urban Wildland Interface area found in the northern part of the City according to the Fire District Strategic Plan 2000-2005, however, the proposed project site is not located within a high fire hazard area according to General Plan Exhibit V-7.

The pro/ect is designed to connect to existing water and sewer systems. The Slate of Cal'domra is authorized to administer various aspects of the National Pollution Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit under Section 402 of the Clean Water Act. The General Construction Permit treats any construction activity over 1 acre as an industrial activity, requiring a permit under the State's General NPDES permit. The State Water Resource Control Board (SWRCB) through the Regional Water Quality Control Board (RiNOCB), Santa Ana Region, administers these permds. Construction activities covered under the State's General Construction permk include removal of vegetation, grading, excavating, or any other activity for new development or s~gmficant redevelopment Prior to commencement of construction of a project, a discharger must submd a Notice of Intent (NOI) to obtain coverage under the General Permlt. The General permit requres all dischargers to comply with the following during construction activities, including sde clearance and grading' Develop and implement a Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) that would specify Best Management Practices (BMPs) that would prevent construction pollutants from contacting storm water and with the intent of keeping all products of erosion from moving off-sde into receiving waters Eliminate or reduce non-storm water discharges to storm sewer systems and other waters of the nation. Perform inspections of all BMPs. Waste discharges include discharges of storm water and construction project discharges. A construction project for new development or significant redevelopment requires an NPDES permd Construction pro/ect proponents are required to prepare a SWPPP. To comply with the NPDES, the pro/ect's construction contractor wtll be required to prepare a SWPPP during construction activities, and a Water Qualdy Management Plan (WQMP) for post-construction operational management of storm water runoff. The applicant has submitted a WQMP for the condominium portion of the project, (prepared by MDS Consulting/March 2005), that identifies BMPs to minimize the amount of pollutants, such as eroded sods, entering the drainage system after construction. Runoff from driveways, roads and other impermeable surfaces must be controlled through an on-site drainage system. BMPs include both structural and non-structural control methods. Structural controls used to manage storm water pollutant levels include detention basins, oil/grit separators, and porous pavement. Non-structural controls focus on controlling pollutants at the source, generally through implementing Erosion and Sediment Control Plans, and various Business Plans that must be developed by any businesses that store and use hazardous materials. Practices, such as periodic parking lot sweeping can substantially reduce the amount of pollutants entering the stone drain system. The following mitigation measures would be required to Control additional storm water effluent: fir// ~ ~/ Initial Study for City of Rancho Cucamonga DRC2005 00106 DRC2005-00107 SUBTT17455 & DRC2005-00220 Page 17 Construction Activities: ~, Prior to issuance of grading permits, the permit applicant shall submit to Building Official for approval a Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) specifically identifying Best Management Practices (BMPs) that shall be used on-site to reduce pollutants during construction activities entering the storm drain system to the maximum extent practical. y, An Erosion Control Plan shall be prepared, included in the Grading Plan, and implemented for the proposed project that identifies specific measures to control on-site and off-site erosion from the time of ground disturbing activities are initiated through completion of grading. This Erosion Control Plan shall include the following measures at a minimum: a) Specify the timing of grading and construction to minimize Boll exposure to rainy periods experienced In southern California, and b) An inspection and maintenance program shall be Included to ensure that any erosion which does occur either on-site or off-site as a result of this project will be corrected through a remediation or restoration program within a specified time frame. g, During construction, temporary berms such as sandbags or gravel dikes must be used to prevent discharge of debris or sediment from the site when there Is rainfall or other runoff. q, During construction, to remove pollutants, street cleaning will be performed prior to storm events and after the use of water trucks to control dust in order to prevent discharge of debris or sediment from the site. Post- Construction Operational: 5, The developer shall implement the BMPs identified in the Water Quality Management Plan prepared by MDS Consulting (March 2005) to reduce pollutants after construction entering the storm drain system to the maximum extent practical. 6, Landscaping plans shall include provisions for controlling and minimizing the use of fertilizers/pesticides/herbicides. Landscaped areas shall be monitored and maintained for at least two years to ensure adequate coverage and stable growth. Plans for these areas, Including monitoring provisions for a minimum of two years, shall be submitted to the City for review and approval prior to the issuance of grading permits. b) According to CVWD, 43 percent of the City's water is currently provided by groundwater sources in the Cucamonga and Chino Basins. CVWD has adopted a master plan that estimates demand needs until the year 2030. The proposed pro/ect will not deplete groundwater supplies, nor will it interfere with recharge because it is not within an area designated as a recharge basin or spreading ground according to General Plan Exhibit IV-2. The development of the site will require the grading of the site and excavation; however, would not affect the existing aquifer, estimated to be about 288 to 470 feet below the ground surface. As noted in the General Plan FEIR (Section 5 9), continued development citywide will increase water needs and is a significant impact; however, CVWD has plans to meet this increased need through the construction of future water facilities. c) The protect will cause changes in absorption rates, drainage patterns, and the rate and amount of surface water runoff because of the amount of new building and hardscape proposed on a site; however, the project will not alter the course of any stream or river. All runoff will be conveyed to existing storm drain faalities, which have been designed to handle ~.

The protect design includes landscaping of aft non-hardscape areas to prevent erosion. A Grading and Drainage Plan must be approved by the Building Official and City Engineer prior to issuance of grading permits. Therefore, the protect will not result in substantial erosion or siltation on- or off-site. The impact is not considered significant. d) The protect will cause changes in absorption rates, drainage patterns, and the rate and amount of surface water runoff because of the amount of new bwlding and hardscape proposed on a site, however, the protect will not alter the course of any stream or aver All runoff will be conveyed to existing storm drain facilities, which have been designed to handle the flows. A Grading and Drainage Plan must be approved by the Building Offiaal and City Engineer prior to issuance of grading permits. Therefore, increase in runoff from the site will not result in flooding on- or off-site. No impacts are anticipated. e) The protect will cause changes in absorption rates, drainage patterns, and the rate and amount of surface water runoff because of the amount of new budding and hardscape proposed on a site, however, all runoff wdl be conveyed to existing storm drain facilities, which have been designed to handle the flows. The project wdl not result in substantial additional sources of polluted runoff. A Grading and Drainage Plan must be approved by the Budding Official and City Engineer pnor to issuance of grading permits. Therefore, increase in runoff from the site will not result in flooding on- or off-site. No impacts are anticipated. f) Grading activities associated with the construction period could result in a temporary increase in the amount of suspended solids in surface flows during a concurrent storm event, thus resulting in surface water quality impacts. The site is for new development or sigmficant redevelopment; therefore, is required to comply with the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) to minimize water pollution. The following mitigation measures shall be implemented: ~, Prior to issuance of building permits, the applicant shall submit to the Clty Engineer for approval of a WoMP, including a project description and identifying BMPs that will be used on-site to reduce pollutants Into the storm drain system to the maximum extent practicable. The WIMP shall identify the structural and non-structural measures consistent with the Guidelines Tor New Development and Redevelopment adopted by the City of Rancho Cucamonga in June 2004. g, Prlor to issuance of grading or paving permits, the appllcant shall obtain a Notice of Intent (NOI) to comply with obtaining coverage under the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) General Construction Storm Water Permit from the State Water Resources Control Board. Evidence that this has been obtained (I.e., a copy of the Waste Discharger's Identification Number) shall be submitted to the City Building Official for coverage under the NPDES General Construction Permit g) The project does not place housing within a 100-year flood hazard area according to General Plan Exhibit V-5. No adverse impacts are expected. h) The protect site is located within the Federal Emergency Management Administration (FEMA) designated Flood Zone X, which is depicted by areas to be outside the 100-year and/or 500- year floodplains (FEMA Map, Community-Panel No. 06071C-8360F). The sde is also not located within a 100-year flood hazard area as depicted in General Plan Exhibd V-5 and that would otherwise impede or redirect flood flows. No adverse impacts are expected. i) The Rancho Cucamonga area is flood protected by an extensive storm drain system designed to convey a 100-year storm event. The system is substantially improved and provides an integrated approach for regional and local drainage flows. This existing system includes several debns dams and I~~ e~nS3 f the City, spreading grounds, concrete-lined Initial Study for City of Rancho Cucamonga DRC2005 00106 DRC2005-00107 SUBTT17455 & DRC2005-00220 Page 19 channels, and underground storm drains as shown in General Plan Exhibit V-6. The project site is not located within a 100-year flood hazard area according to General Plan Exhibit V-5. No adverse impacts are expected. j) There are no oceans, lakes, or reservoirs near the project site, therefore, impacts from seiche and tsunami are not antiapated. The Rancho Cucamonga area sits at the base of the steep eastern San Gabriel Mountains whose deep canyons were cut by mountain streams. Numerous man-made controls have been constructed to reduce the mudflow impacts to the level of non-significance within the City This existing system includes several debris dams and levees north of the City, and spreading grounds both within and north of the City. 8. LAND USE AND PLANNING. Would the pro/ed: a) Physically divide an established community? () () () (/) b) Conflict with any applicable land use plan, policy, or () () () (/) regulation of an agency with turisdiction over the protect (including, but not limited to, a general plan, speafic plan, local coastal program, or zoning ordinance) adopted for the purpose of avoiding or mitigating an environmental effect? c) Conilid with any applicable habitat conservation () () () (/) plan or natural community conservation plan4 Comments: . a) Surrounding the site are apartments and single-family homes on large lots to the north; vacant land zoned for Industrial Park uses (Subarea 17) to south (across 9th Street), non- conforming industrial uses to the east, and townhome and single-family development to the west (across Madrone Avenue).. The proposed change in the land use designations for the site are intended to make possible the approval of a new tract map and the subsequent development of a future public park and approximately 64 condominium units, that will be consistent and compatible with the development of the surrounding area. The project wrli then become a part of the larger community. No adverse Impacts are antiapated. b) The current General Plan and Zoning land use designations for the subject slte are consistent, and the proposal to amend the land use designations wdl be as well. As part of the amendment process, the City will determine whether the changes are appropriate for the site in question and that the changes will more effectively implement the General Plan goals and obteciives. If approved, subsequent development and use of the site wdl also be required to be consistent with the General Plan, intent of the Development Code, and the policies for environmental protection. As such, no impacts are antiapated. c) The project site is not located within any habitat conservation or natural community plan area. According to the General Plan Exhibit IV-3, and Section 53 of the General Plan FEIR, the project site is not within an area of sensitive biological resources, therefore, development will not adversely affect rare or endangered speaes of plants or animals because of the fact that the protect is surrounded by urbanized land uses and is consistent with the General Plan Land Use Plan.

Comments: a) The protect site is not within an area of noise levels exceeding Cdy standards according to General Plan Exhibit V-13 at build-out. No adverse impact is expected with the change in land use designations and the subsequent development of residential units and a future neighborhood park. u u b) The uses assoaated with this application do not induce ground borne vibrations. As such, no impacts are anticipated. ~~ Z ~ Initial Study for City of Rancho Cucamonga • Page 21 DRC2005 00106 DRC2005 00107 SUBTT17455 & DRC2005-00220 c) ~ The primary source of ambient noise levels in Rancho Cucamonga is traffic. The proposed activities will not significantly increase traffic; hence, are not anticipated to increase the ambient noise levels within the vicinity of the protect. d) The General Plan FEIR (Section 5 7) indicates that during a construction phase, on-sde stationary sources, heavy-duty construction vehicles, and construction equipment, will temporarily generate noise exceeding City standards. The following measures are provided to mitigate the short-term noise impacts: 1) Construction or grading shall not take place between the hours of 8:00 p.m. and 6:30 a.m. on weekdays, including Saturday, or at any time on Sunday or a national holiday. 2) Constructlon or grading noise levels shall not exceed the standards specified In Development Code Section 17.02.120-D, as measured at the property line. The developer shall hire a consultant to perform weekly noise level monitoring as specified in Development Code Section 17.02.120. Monitoring at other times may be required by the Building Offlctal. Said consultant shall report their findings to the Building Official within 24 hours; however, if noise levels exceed the above- standards, then the consultant shall immediately notify the Building Official. H noise levels exceed the above standards, then construction activities shall be reduced in intensity to a level of compliance with above noise standards or halted. 3) YThe perimeter block wall shall be constructed as early as possible in first phase. The preceding mitigation measures will reduce the disturbance created by on-site construction equipment; however, do not address the potential impacts because of the transport of construction materials and debris. The following mitigation measures shall then be requred: 4) Haul truck deliveries shall not take place between the hours of 8:00 p.m. and 6:30 a.m. on weekdays, including Saturday, or at any time on Sunday or a national holiday. Additionally, if heavy trucks used for hauling would exceed 100 daily trips (counting both to and from the construction site), then the developer shall prepare a Noise Mitigation Plan denoting any construction traffic haul routes. To the extent feasible, the plan shall denote haul routes that do not pass sensitive land uses or residential dwellings. e) The site is not located within an airport land use plan and is within 2 miles of a public airport. Located approximately one mile north of the Ontario Airport but is not within the flight path planes taking off or landing. No impact is antiapated. f) The nearest private avstnp, Cable Airport, is located approximately 2'/z miles to the west of the Citys westerly limits. No impact is anticipated. 12.

Would the project result !n substantial adverse physical impacts associated with the provision of new or physically altered governmental (acrlities, need /or new or physically altered governmental (acrlities, the construction o/ which could cause significant environmental impacts, in order to maintain acceptable service ratios, response times or other performance oblechves for any o/the public services: ( ) a) Rre () () () • () (`~) () (`~) () 1~) () (~) O (~) Comments: a) The protect site is located approximately tY,-mile from Station 172 located near the intersection of San Bernardino Road and Archibald Avenue. The protect will not require the construction of any new facilities or alteration of any existing facilities or cause a decline In the levels of service, which could cause the need to construct new facilities. Standard conditions of approval from the Uniform Bwlding and Fire Codes will be placed on the protect so no impacts to fire services will occur No impacts are antiapated. b) Police protection and routine patrols of the site and surrounding areas is provided by the Rancho Cucamonga substation of the San Bernardino County ShenfPs Department. The eventual construction of new condominiums on the eastern portion of the site will not adversely change the pattern of uses within the surrounding area and not require a substantial increase in patrols beyond that, which regularly occurs. Therefore, adddional police protection is not required. c) The Cucamonga School District and the Chaffey Joint Union High School District serve the area in which the protect is locat~ ~th sc~l distracts have been nobfied regarding the Initial Study for City of Rancho Cucamonga DRC2005 00106 DRC2005-00107 SUBTT17455 & DRC2005-00220 Page 23 proposed development A standard condition of approval will require the developer to pay the School Impact Fees. With this standard mitigation, impacts to the School Distracts are not considered significant d) The site is in a developed area, currently served by the City of Rancho Cucamonga. The nearest park is Bear Gulch Park, located approximately 1-mile northeast from the project site. As mentioned in the protect description, the overall plans for the protect include the development of a public neighborhood park on 3 36 acres of the site be developed at a later date, within 3 to 5 years. The park area will be reserved until the City has allocated sufficient funds for the protect. As such, the anticpated park will meet the open space and recreational needs of the existing residents as well as the new residents of the condominiums. As a standard condition of approval, the developer will be required to pay Park Development Fees. Thus, no significant impacts are anticpated. e) The proposed protect will utilize existing public faalities. The site is in a developed area, currently served by the City of Rancho Cucamonga. The protect will not require the construction of any new facilities or alteration of any existing faalities or cause a decline in the levels of service, which could cause the need to construct new facilities. Cumulative development within Rancho Cucamonga will increase demand for library services. According to the General Plan FEIR (Section 5 9 9), the protected increase in library space under the General Plan will not meet the protected demand The General Plan FEIR identified the cumulative impact on library services as a significant unavoidable adverse impact for which a Statement of Overriding Considerations was ultimately adopted by the City Council. The proposed protect is consistent with the General Plan for which the EIR was prepared and impacts evaluated Since the adoption of the General Plan, the City has planned a new library within the Victona Gardens regional shopping center of approximately 22,000 square feet, which is in excess of the protected need of 15,500 square feet at build-out of the City. 14. RECREATION. Would the project: a) Increase the use of existing neighborhood and () () () (`~) regional parks or other recreational facilities such that substantial physical deterioration of the facility would occur or be accelerated? b) Does the protect include recreational facilities or () () () (/) require the construction or expansion of recreational facilities, which might have an adverse physical effect on the environment? Comments: a) The site is in a developed area, currently served by the City of Rancho Cucamonga. The nearest park is Bear Gulch Park, located approximately 1-mile from the project site. One element of this protect is the development of 64 condominiums that will result in the increased use of public parks or other recreational factlities within the City. As indicated above, land area within the protect area will be set aside for the development of a public park at a later date. A standard condition of approval will require the developer to pay Park Development Fees. No impacts are anticipated. b) See a) response above. ~~ Z 5~ Initial Study for City of Rancho Cucamonga DRC2005 00106 DRC2005 00107 SUBTT17455 8 DRC2005-00220 Page 24 15. TRANSPORTATION/TRAFFIC. Would the project: a) Cause an increase in traffic, which is substantial in () () () (~) relation to the ewshng traffic load and capacdy of the street system (i e., result in a substantial increase in either the number of vehicle trips, the volume to capacity ratio on roads, or congestion at mtersechons)7 b) Exceed, either individually or cumulatively, a level () () () (~) of service standard established by the county congestion management agency for designated roads or highways? c) Result in a change in au traffic patterns, including () () () (`~) either an increase in traffic levels or a change in location that results in substantial safety asks? d) Substantially increase hazards due to a design () () () (~) feature (e.g., sharp curves or dangerous intersections) or incompatible uses (e.g., farm equipment)? e) Result in inadequate emergency access? () () () ('~) ~ Result in inadequate parking capaaty4 () () () (`~) g) Conflict with adopted policies, plans, or programs () () () (~) supporting alternative transportation (e.g., bus turnouts, bicycle racks)? Comments• a) As noted in the General Plan FEIR (Section 5 5), continued development will contribute to fhe traffic load in the Rancho Cucamonga area. The protect is in an area where street improvements (e.g., curb, gutter, and sidewalk) are being installed as new development occurs. The developer of the condominwms wdl also be required to install street improvements along the street frontage of the condominwm site per City roadway standards. Based on the Rancho Cucamonga Traffic Model, the estimated traffic generation rate expected from the condominwm protect was calculated at 386 76 Average Daily Trips (ADT). According to the Traffic Engineering Department, 9th Street is classified as a Collector Street with a maximum build out capacity of 10,000 Average Daily Tnps (ADT). At maximum build out for the area, it is expected that ADT will be at approximately 70 percent of full capaclty. Moreover, Level of Service (LOS) at the nearby intersections of 9th Street with Baker and Vineyard Avenues is expected to remain at LOS C or better. Based on the findings provided in the above table and information regarding street capacity presented above, the proposed project (including subsequent development) is consistent with the General Plan for which the FEIR was prepared and impacts evaluated. As such, the protect will not create a substantial increase in the number of vehicle trips, traffic volume or congestion at nearby intersections. In addition, the City has established a Transportation Development Fee that must be paid by the applicant pnor to issuance of building permits. Fees are used to fund roadway improvements necessary to support adequate traffic circulation. No impacts are anticipated. • b) The Rancho Cucamonga Traffic Model estimates that each condominium unit wdl generate .56 two-way peak hour trips daily. As such, the total trips generated for all 64 condominiums will be 37 two-way peak hour taps, which is less than 250 two-way peak hour trips for non- retail uses, therefore, is below the threshold of the San Bernardino Congestion Management Plan (CMP) critena for regwring ~~ff~ pa~ nalysis. The project sde ~s m an area that is , ~~ Initial Study for DRC2005-001( D City of Rancho Cucamonga largely developed with all street improvements The protect wdl not negatively impact the LOS standards on adjacent arterials. Moreover, the developer will be requred to provide street improvements (curb, gutter, and sidewalk) along the street frontage of the site. No impacts are anticipated. c) Located approximately 1-mile north of the Ontario Auport, the site is offset north of the flight path and will not change au traffic patterns. No impacts are antiapated. d) The project is in an area that is steadily being developed. As a part of the condominium portion of the project, new street improvements (curb, gutter, and sidewalk) along 9th Street wdl be required The protect design does not include any sharp curves, dangerous intersections, or farming uses that would present a conflict or hazard with the proposed changes in the land use designation and subsequent development of condominiums on a portion of the overall site. The protect will, therefore, not create a substantial increase in hazards because of a design feature. No impacts are anticipated. e) The project will be designed to provide access for all emergency vehicles and will, therefore, not create an inadequate emergency access. No impacts are anticipated. f) Each portion of the overall project, including the existing restaurant, new condominium units, and future public park wdl have adequate on-site parking in compliance with standards of the Rancho Cucamonga Development Code and will, therefore, not create an inadequate parking capacity. No impacts are anticipated. g) The project design includes, or the project will be conditioned to provide, features supporting transportation and vehicle trip reduction (e.g., bus bays, bicycle racks, carpool parking, etc ). 16. UTILRIES AND SERVICE SYSTEMS. Would the project: () () () (`~) a) Exceed wastewater treatment requirements of the applicable Regional Water Duality Control Board? b) Require or result in the construction of new water or () () () (~) wastewater treatment facilities or expansion of existing facilities, the construction of which could cause significant environmental effects? c) Require or result in the construction of new storm () () () (~) water drainage facilities or expansion of existing faaldies, the construction of which could cause significant environmental effects 7 d) Have sufficient water supplies available to serve () () () (~) the project from existing entitlements and resources, or are new or expanded entitlements needed? e) Result in a determination by the wastewater () () () (~) treatment provider, which serves or may serve the protect, that it has adequate capaaty to serve the project's projected demand in addition to the provider's existing commitments? f) Be served by a landfill with sufficient permitted () () () (~) capacity to accommodate the project's solid waste disposal needs? g) Comply with Federal, State, and local statutes and () () () (~) regulations related to solid waste9 _ ~~ ~ 6D Initial Study for City of Rancho Cucamonga DRC2005 00106 DRC2005-00107 SUBTT17455 & DRC2005-00220 Page 26 Comments' a) The proposed protect is served by the Cucamonga Valley Water District (CVWD) sewer system, which has waste treated by the Inland Empire Utilities Agency at the RP-4 treatment plant located within Rancho Cucamonga. The protect is regwred to meet the requirements of the Santa Ana Regional Water Quality Control Board regarding wastewater No impacts are anticipated. , b) The proposed protect is served by the CVWD sewer system, which has waste treated by the Inland Empre Utilities Agency at the RP-4 treatment plant located within Rancho Cucamonga and RP-1 located within City of Ontaro, neither of which are at capacity. The project is regwred to meet the requirements of the Santa Ana Regional Water Quality Control Board regarding wastewater. No impacts are anticipated. c) All runoff will be conveyed to existing storm dram faalities, which have been designed to handle the flows. A grading and drainage plan must be approved by the Budding Official and City Engineer pnor to issuance of grading permits. The impact is not considered significant. d) The project is served by the CVWD water system. There is currently a sufficient water supply available to the City of Rancho Cucamonga to serve this protect. No impacts are anticipated. e) The proposed protect is served by the CVWD sewer system, which has waste treated by the Inland Empire Utilities Agency at the RP-4 treatment plant located within Rancho Cucamonga and RP-1 located within City of Ontario, neither of which are at capacity. No impacts are anticipated. f) Solid waste disposal will be provided by the current City contracted hauler who disposes the refuse at a permdted landfill with sufficent capacity to handle the City's solid waste disposal needs. g) This protect will comply with Federal, State, and local statutes and regulations regarding solid waste. The City of Rancho Cucamonga continues to implement waste reduction procedures consistent with AB 939. Therefore, no impacts are anticipated. - 17. MANDATORY FINDINGS OF SIGNIFICANCE a) 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 major penods of California history or prehistory? b) Does the protect have impacts that are individually () () () (/) limited, but cumulatively considerable? ("Cumulatroely considerable" means that the incremental effects of a project are considerable when viewed in connection wdh the effects of past protects, the effects of other current protects, and the effects of probable future protects)? c) Does the protect have environmental effects that () () () (/) will cause substantial adverse effects on human beings, either directly or indirectly? ~/'~ ~i Initial Study for City of Rancho Cucamonga DRC2005 00106 DRC2005-00107 SUBTT17455 & DRC2005-00220 Page 27 Comments' a) The site is not located in an area of sensitive biological resources as identified on the City of Rancho Cucamonga General Plan Exhibit IV-3. Additionally, the area surrounding the site is developed. Based on previous development and street improvements, it is unlikely that any endangered or rare species would inhabit the sde. ' b) If the proposed protect were approved, then the applicant would be required to develop the site in accordance with the City of Rancho Cucamonga General Plan The 2001 General Plan was adopted along with the certification of a Program FEIR, Findings of Fact, and a Statement of Overriding Considerations for sigmficant adverse environmental effects of budd- out inthe City and Sphere of Influence. The City made findings that adoption of the General Plan would result in significant adverse effects to aggregate resources, prime farmland, air quality, the acoustical environment, library services, and aesthetics and visual resources. Mitigation measures were adopted for each of these resources; however, they would not reduce impacts to less-than-significant levels. As such, the City adopted a Statement of Overriding Considerations balancing the benefits of development under the General Plan Update against the significant unavoidable adverse impacts (CEQA Guidelines Section 15092 and 15096(h)). These benefits include less overall traffic volumes by developing mixed-use protects that will be pedestrian friendly and conservation of valuable natural open space. With these findings and the Statement of Overriding Considerations, no further discussion or evaluation of cumulative impacts is required. c) Development of the site under the proposed changes in the land use designations for the subject site wdl not cause substantial adverse effects on human beings, either directly or indirectly. The Initial Study identifies construction-related emissions of criteria pollutants as having a potentially sigmficant impact. Proposed mitigation measures would further reduce emission levels. Additionally, impacts resulting from air quality would be short-term and would cease once construction activities were completed. The Initial Study identified potentially significant impacts associated wdh the exposure of people to increased noise levels. Mitigation measures contained in this Initial Study wdl ensure impacts are at less-than-significant levels. EARLIER ANALYSES Earlier analyses may be used where, pursuant to the tiering, program EIR, or other CEQA process, one or more effects have been adequately analyzed in an earlier EIR or Negative Declaration per Section 15063(c)(3)(D).

ABSTRACT. The Development Code regulates second dwelling units. This amendment is necessary because of changes in State law to encourage this form of housing in response to a critical need for affordable housing statewide. BACKGROUND. In 1982, a State law was enacted to encourage local governments to provide for second units in response to the need for affordable housing and to prevent local governments from precluding second units In response to the new state legislation, the City adopted Ordinance No 204, in June of 1983, which allowed second dwelling units insingle- famdy residential zones. In 1998, the City Attorney informed staff that the State law, which allows a maximum of 1,200 square feet for a detached dwelling unit or not to exceed 30 percent of the main dwelling if attached, only applies to cities that had adopted a second dwelling unit ordinance after July 1, 1983 Since the City adopted its ordinance prior to July 1, 1983, it is exempt from conforming to the above state regulation and is allowed to establish minimum (not less than 150 square feet) and maximum unit size regwrements for both attached and detached second dwelling units as well as establishing additional criteria to regulate these units The state law was again amended in 2004, and the City Attorney recommended that the City amend the Development Code accordingly ANALYSIS A. Definition State law defines second dwelling units as "an attached or a detached residential dwelling unit which provides complete independent living facilities for one or more persons It shall include permanent provisions for living, sleeping, eating, cooking, and sanitation on the same parcel as the single-family dwelling is situated " A second Item J PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT DRC2005-00437 -CITY OF RANCHO CUCAMONGA September 14, 2005 Page 2 dwelling unit also includes an efficiency unit' as defined in Health and Safety Code Section 17958 1 and a manufactured home2 as defined in Health and Safety Code Section 18007.

There is a serious speeding problem up and down the street from the gate of the country club to the corner of Alta Cuesta and Red Hill County Club Dr. It is my understanding there wdl be a small type island at the gate to encourage slowing to maneuver. Please venfy 2. There is a parking problem. If both sides of the street have overflow parking, two cars cannot pass. Can the south side of the street be painted red along the entire curb from the corner to the gate? This will allow cars to pull out from the residential driveway and not reduce the street to a lane straddling the middle line. 3. There is a drainage problem down the north gutter/swale. Will this be improved and corrected to include the large exposed vertical pipe opening going away? There are animals living in the pipe and numerous club guests throw their trash in there as they are driving out of the club. My suggestion is to relocate on the north side of the street in between the corner residence and the residence at the gate. Then, to refinish the north side of the street with a curb and regular gutter for drainage. 4. There is a water collecting grate at the bottom of the residence of 8370 Red Hill CC Dr., wdl this go away or be reduced with the relocation of the main drain pipe? 5. There are many, many cars that come down the street all times of the day (especially late into the evening) thinking it is a thru street. Can there be a sign posted at the corner stating "Not a Thru Street"? The next point is of a community aesthetic nature. It is my understanding based on what was presented that there are two phases. The first phase involves strictly the clubhouse renovation and some general improvement to the south side of the street. I was surprised that the north side of the street was not a consideration. It is generally and visually perceived as the entire street from the corner to the gate as being the entrance to the country club. I ~/Y1 `'' .( u Phase two includes a possible reconfiguration to the club entrance/gate, pool and tennis courts. We were informed that it may be sometime before started, but is being approved with the Phase 1 plans. 1. I would like to recommend that the retaining wall along the north side of street and up the residential drive-way be included in the Phase I plans of improvement. Visually it is perceived as belonging to the country club by sheer location The house does not show when dnving down the street, but the wall does. This would complete the look of the entrance to the club in a consistent manner. As a gesture of goodwill to a very friendly neighbor, I would like to request that improvement. I am greatly impacted by the construction as my three bedroom windows face the tennis courts/street and the pool/clubhouse. It is my understanding that I will endure approximately one year of construction and all that entails from 7AM to 6PM six days a week. Incorporating the street/driveway walls would go a long way to making it sufferable. 2. What are the plans for the fence with oleanders along the east side of the pool? Visually it is atrocious. If Phase II includes teanng down and relocating the pool/cabana and increasing parking, what are the plans for separation between the parking lot and residential driveway? My neighbor and I prefer to have the view and are constantly asking to have the hedge trimmed to a reasonable height. It is also extremely messy and we have to personally clean out the bushes. Can there also be a matching wall with the rest of the improvements? This could also aesthetically enhance the look of the entrance, especially if matching the residential retaining wall on the street/driveway at 8370 & 8384 Red Hill Country Club Dr. Thank you in advance for your cooperation in the above. I look forward to your response as soon as possible. I will be attending the meeting on September 14th and will ask that these issues are addressed.
