FROM Dan James, Senior Civil Engineer
SUBJECT MODIFICATION OF CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT DRC2005-00068 -RED HILL
COUNTRY CLUB, INC - A request to modify the conditions of approval for utility
undergrounding for a new clubhouse totaling 35,1765 square feet on 120 acres of
land in the Open Space District, located at 8358 Red Hill Country Club Dnve -

• BACKGROUND The Planning Commission approved Conditional Use Permit DRC2005-00068
through adoption of its Resolution No 05-85 (Exhibit E) on September 14, 2005 Engineering
Department Condition No 1f regwres the existing utilities to be undergrounded on the protect
side of Red Hill Country Club Drive (easUwest) At the public hearing, the applicant requested
relief from the undergrounding, however, the Commission adopted the conditions without
change thus regwring the undergrounding
On June 10, 1987, the Planning Commission adopted its Resolution No 87-96 (Exhibit A)
establishing a revised policy for undergrounding of the existing overhead utilities This policy
was intended "to remove unsightly existing overhead utility lines in order to promote a more
aesthetic and desirable working and living environment within the City " The Resolution states
that the policy applies to all developments except those speafically exempted "and any others
specifically waived by the Planning Commission " Overhead utilities include telecommunication
(phone and cable) and electrical but excludes 66KV or larger electrical lines
The Commission's utility undergrounding policy includes seven exemptions, however, the
protect did not qualify for any of these exemptions Therefore, it is necessary to explore the
original intent of the policy and the assumptions made Staff has reviewed all the original staff
reports regarding the drafting of the policy On October 10, 1985, the Planning Commission
held a workshop to formulate a policy and established the following general policy direction
All types of streets should have utilities placed underground as a condition of land
development, and

2. Actual undergroundmg may be deferred and in-lieu fees paid m those circumstances
where the Planning Commission felt it was impractical to underground at the present time,
and
3 The obligation to underground should be shared equally by properties on both sides of a
street in proportion to their frontage length.
After 6 months of implementing the new policy, staff recommended adoption of additional
clarifications that were incorporated into Resolution No 86-77 that was adopted by the Planning
Commission on May 28, 1986 At that time, there were no exemptions It is significant to note
that the staff report states the assumption that "corner parcels are generally considered to be
more valuable than interior parcels, therefore, they can support the additional cost of fees to the
center of the street " Staff further noted that since corner parcels are more visible to the public,
it is more important to underground
A year later exemptions were added by the adoption of Planning Commission's
Resolution No 87-96, the policy that is still in force today The policy regwres overhead utilities
on the protect side of the street to be undergrounded Where lines are on the opposite side of
street, the policy regwres payment of in-lieu fees equal to one-half the cost of undergroundmg
One of the exemptions allows waiving utility undergroundmg where there is "less than 300 feet
and not undergrounded on the adtacent properties "
ANALYSIS There are two adopted Engineering Department conditions dealing with utility •
undergroundmg Condition No 1f regwres undergroundmg on the protect side of Red Hill
Country Club Drive (easUwest) from the first pole off-site east of the clubhouse entrance to the
first pole off-site east of Alta Cuesta Drive (total length is about 315 feet). The Engineering
Department provided the following undergroundmg cost estimates electrical is $250 per linear
foot, telephone is $50 per linear foot The estimated cost of undergroundmg along Red Hill
Country Club Dnve (easUwest) is $105,000 (this includes money for vaults Edison regwres)
Condition No 2f regwres in-lieu fees as contribution to future undergroundmg on the opposite
side of Red Hill Country Club Dnve (south of Red Hill Country Club Drive) (scaled distance from
the Site Plan is 290 feet) The calculated one-half m lieu fee of undergroundmg along Red Hill
Country Club Dnve (south of Red Hill Country Club Drive) is $12,325 Red Hill Country Club
Golf Course has paid this amount and is not requesting relief from Engineering Condition 2f
The Planning Commission has the authority to waive the utility undergroundmg pursuant to the
recitals contained in their Resolution No 87-96. This explicitly recognizes that there may be
unique circumstances, not anticipated by the policy, wherein undergroundmg should be waived
Staff believes that Red Hill Country Club Golf Course is a unique situation because the area
surrounding the golf course was already developed as residential prior to the Commission's
adoption of a utility undergroundmg policy The Red Hill Country Club Golf Course was
approved to demolish the existing clubhouse and construct a new 35,176 square feet
clubhouse, parking, and related amenities
Red Hill Country Club Golf Course feels that this is a unique circumstance because all of the
properties surrounding them are developed Staff concurs, and notes that, this is significant for •
two reasons Firstly, all other properties m the neighborhood are residential Secondly,
because all of the surrounding properties are developed and would not pay in-lieu fees, there

wdl never be the opportunity for reimbursement to Red Hill Country Club Golf Course for the
undergrounding along Red Hill Country Drive (eastwest) Normally, reimbursement occurs
when fees are collected from another parcel that is developed after undergrounding
Lastly, the Red Hill Country Club Golf Course feels that it would be impractical to underground
the two existing utility poles along the south side of Red Hill Country Club Drive (easUwest)
Edison has confirmed that their utility easements for the properties north of this drive do not
provide for underground utility placement, only one of these two poles would be able to be
removed with such an underground endeavor
If the Planning Commission approves the deletion of Engineering Condition if and not regwre
the undergrounding of the utilities along Red Hill Country Club Drive (easUwest) the power poles
will be relocated along with the street widening leading into the Golf Course Also, the utilities to
service the Golf Course will all be undergrounded
On June 28, 2006 the Planning Commission heard a similar request from St Peter and St Paul
Church The church, an existing development within an existing residential neighborhood,
received approval for an expansion and was conditioned to underground utilities and pay an
in-lieu fee The Commission approved the request of the church to delete the conditions
relating to utility undergrounding
• ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT
Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA") and the City's local CEQA
Guidelines, the City adopted a Mitigated Negatroe Declaration on September 14, 2005, in
connection with the City's approval of Conditional Use Permit DRC2005-00068 Pursuant to
CEQA Guidelines Section 15162, no subsequent or supplemental EIR or Negative Declaration
is required in connection with subsequent discretionary approvals of the same protect unless (i)
substantial changes are proposed to the protect that indicate new or more severe impacts on
the environment, (u) substantial changes have occurred in the circumstances under which the
protect was previously reviewed that indicates new or more severe environmental impacts, or
(uQ new important information shows the protect will have new or more severe impacts than
previously considered, or (iv) additional mitigation measures are now feasible to reduce impacts
or different mitigation measures can be imposed to substantially reduce impacts Staff has
evaluated the proposed deletion of the utility undergrounding condition, and concludes that
substantial changes to the protect or the cvcumstances surrounding the protect have not
occurred that would create new or more severe impacts than those evaluated in the previous
Mitigated Negative Declaration Staff further finds that the protect will not have one or more
significant effects not discussed in the previous Mitigated Negative Declaration, not have more
severe effects than previously analyzed, and that additional or different mitigation measures are
not required to reduce the impacts of the protect to a level of less-than-significant None of the
previously adopted mitigation measures were concerning above-ground utilities Therefore,
pursuant to CEQA, staff recommends that the Planning Commission concur with the staff
determination that no additional environmental review is requred in connection with the City's
consideration of the proposed deletion of the utility undergrounding condition
• RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends that the Planning Commission give due consideration
and should the Commission determine the applicant's request to warrant approval, then the

Re. Under-Grounding of Existing Overhead Utilities Condition Deletion
Request
Planning Commission Resolution No 05-85
DRC2005-00068 -Red HIII Country Club
Dear Dan
This is as a follow-up to meetings with our client, Red HIII Country Club, Clty
Engineering and Clty Planning concerning the referenced matter After meetings
with the RCCC Utility Consultant and Edison representatives, our findings have
found it necessary to request deletion of the Condition to under-ground the
existing utilities that are located on Red Hill Country Club
This request is based on our collective determination by all the foregoing that it •
would be impractical to under-ground the two existing utility poles (195749E and
19706E) along~ie-south-side-of~ied-Hell-Country-Club-Duos. As_Edison_has
recently informed us that their utility easements for the properties north of this
drive do not provide for underground utility placement, only one of these two
poles would be able to be removed with such an underground protect endeavor
Our cllent has confirmed with our office that they will plan to relocate these
existing poles into the appropriate location within their City-approved Street
Improvements and well ensure that the utilities to the new clubhouse are taken
underground from the last utility pole into the property and new building
We are requesting that this matter be scheduled for the first available Planning
Commission meeting as our construction improvements are currently underway
for this fatality Thank you for your professional courtesy and assistance with this
matter of considerable importance to our cllent
Sincerely,
C ~T -

Emily Cameron, Associate Planner, presented the staff report She noted that a letter had
been received from Laura Calderone, 8370 Red Hill Country Club Drive She indicated the
resident had some concerns regarding traffic, parking, drainage, signage, retammg walls and
maintenance of an oleander fence
Commissioner McNeil asked the question of the timeline to get this project done
Ms Cameron answered within 12 months
Commissioner Fletcher asked if the exhibit shows the wall Variance and if there was a problem
• with terracing that wall
Ms Cameron answered that it is a problem because terracing requires more room and to allow
for terracing would further diminish the number of parking spaces
Commissioner Pam Stewart then opened the Public Hearing
Ron Sakahara, 16042 Von Karman, #300, Irvine,thanked the staff in the planning department
He stated that they are proud of the design Mr Sakahara said that because of the slope ofthe
site, the public would only see the 1 story portion of the bwlding, similar to what is already there
now Mr Sakahara also addressed the speeding problem noted m Ms Calderone's letter He
stated that there will be a split island at the front gate that is open daily and closed at night He
said it will slow down traffic and the club ownership is willing to send out notices requesting the
public' s cooperation to slow down in this area He also mentioned that parking is a
concernand that they are working with engineering on this He noted that they could paint the
south side curb red if needed He said although the drain on the north side is on prvate
property, the entire protect is re-graded so that the entire faality drains to the south and that this
should take care of her concerns about drainage He noted regarding the "Dead end street,"
that many people have to turn around and go the other way because they do not know it is a
dead end street He suggested a "Not a Through Street" sign and that should help with the
problem He added that the club ownership would maintain the oleander hedge in order to
make everyone happy He noted that there is no stone wall included m this plan and that there
is new landscaping that will be included with Phase 2 of the protect He mentioned that he
believes the gate program noted in the Engineering conditions found on Page F-G, 71 does not
apply to them because their situation is unique He added that he does not believe they should
• ~i have to put in the undergrounded utilities when they are improvements that would occur on
private property

Laura Calderone, 8370 Red Hill Country Club Drive, stated that many of her questions have
been answered by Mr Sakahara, however cars park up to the gate entrance preventing her
and her neighbor from getting out of their driveways and the mailman cannot gettoher mailbox •
Chavman Stewart closed the public hearing
-~-~ Dan James, Senior Cron Engineer, noted that the underground utility policy is by Resolution of
the Planning Commission He clarified that th is project is not included in the provisions noted in
Section 7 He commented that the poles are on the Country Club frontage even though the
poles do not serve the club per se He added that Engineering Condition 1-D only indicates the
gate should be in accordance with the program and therefore does not need to be removed
He noted that Condition 1-A says a "No Parking" sign should be posted He commented that
he could ask staff to evaluate the possibility of adding a "No A Through Street" sign.
Commissioner McNeel asked why only the south side of the street is restricted from parking and
not the north side
Mr James indicated he is not opposed to the idea, but with the walls it would be more difficult
to maneuver
Commissioner McPhail thanked the staff and the architect for their beautiful work She noted
that she is in favor of the developer installing the underground utilities as presented by staff
Commissioner McNeel concurred He asked how many streetlights would be required
Mr James indicated there would be two at the entrance and there would be additional
improvements (curb and gutter) along Red Hill Country Club Drive
Chairman Stewart said she shares the concern of remaining overhead poles and noted thatthe •
_~.-photographs indicate the existing overhead poles are leaning significantly and the
undergrounding needs to be done She applauded the applicant, residents and staff for
working out their concerns
Ms Calderone reiterated her concern regarding her ability to access her driveway
Commissioner McNeel stated that they can "Red Flag" this and work it out at the staff level

A. Recitals
1 On the 15th day of September 2005, the Planning Commission of the City of Rancho Cucamonga
held a duly noticed public hearing on Conditional Use Permit DRC2005-00068 application and concluded said
hearing on that date Following the conclusion of the public hearing, the Planning Commission conditionally
approved Conditional Use Permit DRC2005-00068 through adoption of their Resolution No 05-85
2 Chuck Buquet of Charles Joseph Associates, on behalf of Red Hill Country Club Inc ,filed a
request to modify the conditions of approval for Conditional Use Permit DRC2005-00068 to delete the
condition regwnng undergrounding of, or payment of in-lieu fees for, the existing overhead utilities
Hereinafter in this Resolution, the subfect request is referred to as "the application "
3 On the 8th day of November 2006, the Planning Commission of the City of Rancho Cucamonga
• held a duly noticed public hearing on the application and concluded said hearing on that date.
4 All legal prerequisites prior to the adoption of this Resolution have occurred
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 during the above-referenced
public hearing on November 8, 2006, including written and oral staff reports, together with public testimony,
this Commission hereby specifically finds as follows
a The application applies to the property located at 8358 Red Hill Country Club Drive with a
street frontage of 204 45 feet on Redhill Country Club Drive and lot depth of 292 feet on the south side of
Red Hill Country Club Drive and is presently improved with an existing clubhouse facility surrounded by an
18-hole golf course, and
b The previously adopted conditions of approval, specifically Engineering Department
Special Condition No 1f, required the undergrounding of the existing overhead utilities along
Red Hill Country Club Drive (easUwest), pursuant to this Commission's Resolution No 87-96, and

c On June 10, 1987, the Planning Commission adopted Resolution No 87-96 (ExhibitA of
Staff Report) establishing a revised policy for undergrounding of the existing overhead utilities This policy
was intended "to remove unsightly existing overhead utility lines in order to promote a more aesthetic and
desirable working and living environment within the City " The Resolution states that the policy applies to all
developments except those speafically exempted "and any others specifically waived by the Planning
Commission." Overhead utilities include telecommunication (phone and cable) and electrical but excludes
66KV or larger electrical lines, and
d The Commission's utility undergrounding policy includes seven exemptions, however, the
Golf Course Clubhouse protect did not qualify for any of these exemptions, and
e The adopted Planning Commission Resolution No 05-85 contains an Engineering
Department condition dealing with utility undergrounding Condition No. 1 f regwres undergrounding on the
protect side of Red Hill Country Club Dnve (easUwest) from the first pole off-site east of the clubhouse
entrance to the first pole off-site east of Alta Cuesta Dnve (total length is about 315 feet) According to the
Engineering Department, the estimated cost of undergrounding overhead electrical is $250 per linear foot
and telephone is $50 per linear foot. Therefore, the estimated cost of undergrounding along
Red Hill Country Cfub Drive is $105,000 (this includes money for vaults Edison regwres)
•
f Red Hill Country Club Clubhouse is a unique circumstance because all of the surrounding
properties are developed residential, hence would never underground Further, because all of the
surrounding properties are developed and would not pay in-lieu fees, there will never be the opportunity for
reimbursement to the Golf Course for the undergrounding along Red Hill Country Club Drive, and •
g The Red Hill Country Club Clubhouse has asserted that the undergrounding would be
impractical to underground the iwo existing utility poles along the south side of Red Hill Country Club Drive
(easUwest) Edison has confirmed that their utility easements for the properties north of this drive do not
provide for underground utility placement, only one of these two poles would be able to be removed with
such an underground endeavor Also, the total estimated cost would be $105,000
3. Based upon the facts and information contained in the application, together with all written and
oral reports included for the environmental assessment forthe application, the Planning Commission finds
that no subsequent or supplemental environmental document is regwred pursuant to the California
Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) in connection with the review and approval of this application based
upon the following findings and determinations
a Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and the City's local CEQA
Guidelines, the City adopted a Negative Declaration on September 14, 2005, in connection with the City's
approval of Conditional Use Permit DRC2005-00068 Pursuant to CEQA Gwdelines Section 15162, no
subsequent or supplemental EIR or Negative Declaration is regwred in connection with subsequent
discretionary approvals of the same protect unless (i) substantial changes are proposed to the protect that
indicate new or more severe impacts on the environment, (u) substantial changes have occurred in the
circumstances under which the protect was previously reviewed that indicates new or more severe
environmental impacts, or (ui) new important information shows the protect will have new or more severe
impacts than previously considered, or (iv) additional mitigation measures are now feasible to reduce
impacts or different mitigation measures can be imposed to substantially reduce impacts
b The Planning Commission finds, in connection with the current application, that substantial •
changes to the protect or the circumstances surrounding the protect have not occurred which would create

new or more severe impacts than those evaluated in the previous Negative Declaration The current
application requests the deletion of a condition requiring utility undergrounding Staff furtherfinds thatthe
prolect will not have one or more sigmficant effects not discussed in the previous Negative Declaration, not
have more severe effects than previously analyzed, and that additional or different mitigation measures are
not required to reduce the impacts of the prolect to a level of less than significant The proposed deletion of
the utility undergrounding will not change the prolect design, that is, the demolition of the Clubhouse, and
the construction of a new 35,176 square foot Clubhouse
c Based on these findings and all evidence in the record, the Planning Commission concurs
with the staff determination that no additional environmental review is required pursuant to CEQA in
connection with the City's consideration of the current application
d Pursuant to the requirements of California Fish and Game Code Section 711 4 and Title 14
of the California Code of Regulations, Section 753 5, the Planning Commission finds, based on the Initial
Study, the Negative Declaration, and considering the record as a whole, that there is no evidence before the
City that the proposed prolect will have the potential for an adverse effect on wildlife resources or the habitat
upon which the wildlife depends because the subject property was fully developed with a church more than
a decade ago Based on substantial evidence, the Planning Commission hereby makes a declaration
rebutting the presumption of adverse effect as set forth in California Department of Fish and Game
Regulation 753 5 (Title 14 of the California Code of Regulations Code, Section 753 5 )
4 Based upon the findings set forth in paragraphs 1, 2, and 3 above, this Commission hereby

Declaration, togetherwith all written and oral reports included forthe environmental assessmentfor
the application, the Planning Commission finds that there is no substantial evidence thatthe project
wdl have a significant effect upon the environment and adopts a Mitigated Negative Declaration and
Monitoring Program attached hereto, and incorporated herein by this reference, based upon the
findings as follows
a Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA")and the City's local
CEQA Gwdelines, the City staff prepared an Initial Study of the potential environmental effects of
the project Based on the findings contained in that Initial Study, City staff determined that, with the
imposition of mitigation measures, there would be no substantial evidence that the protect would
have a significant effect on the environment Based on that determination, a Mitigated Negative
Declaration was prepared Thereafter, the City staff provided public notice of the public comment
penod and of the intent to adopt the Mitigated Negative Declaration
b The Planning Commission has reviewed the Mitigated Negative Declaration and all
comments received regarding the Mitigated Negative Declaration and, based on the whole record
before it, finds (Q that the Mitigated Negative Declaration was prepared in compliance with CEQA,
and (u) that, based on the imposition of mitigation measures, there is no substantial evidence that
the protect will have a significant effect on the environment The Planning Commission furtherfinds
that the Mitigated Negative Declaration reflects the independent tudgment and analysis of the
Planning Commission Based on these findings, the Planning Commission hereby adopts the
Mitigated Negative Declaration
c The Planning Commission has also reviewed and considered the Mitigation
Monitoring Program for the protect that has been prepared pursuant to the requirements of Public
Resources Code Section 21081 6 and finds that such Program is designed to ensure compliance
with the mitigation measures during protect implementation The Planning Commission therefore
adopts the Mitigation Monitoring Program for the protect
