RESOLUTION NO. 09-244 A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF RANCHO CUCAMONGA, CALIFORNIA, AFFIRMING THE DECISION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION TO APPROVE DEVELOPMENT REVIEW DRC2007-00402 AND TENTATIVE PARCEL MAP SUBTPM18535 AND ADOPT A MITIGATED NEGATIVE DECLARATION FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF A RETAIL COMMERCIAL CENTER CONSISTING OF 3 BUILDINGS TOTALING 51,940 SQUARE FEET AND THE SUBDIVISION OF 4.67 ACRES OF LAND INTO 3 PARCELS FOR COMMERCIAL PURPOSES IN THE COMMUNITY COMMERCIAL DISTRICT (SUBAREA 4) OF THE FOOTHILL BOULEVARD SPECIFIC PLAN, LOCATED ALONG THE WEST SIDE OF ETIWANDA AVENUE NORTH OF FOOTHILL BOULEVARD; AND MAKING FINDINGS IN SUPPORT THEREOF -APN: 0227-221-08 Adam Collier, Planning Technician, presented the staff report City Attorney James Markman provided background information regarding a dispute between Mr. An and Mr. Mashian over development rights of "Area A". It was noted that the Planning Commission's approval of the project passed no judgment on the easement agreement. Mr. Markman indicated that a meeting was held last week in which the following condition was proposed: Prior to the issuance of any grading or building permit, the applicant shall establish to the satisfaction of the City Manager and City Attorney that this issue has been resolved. However, Mr. Markman believed that now Mr. Mashian has concerns with this condition and expected that Mr. Mashian would expand upon these concerns when he addressed the City Council. Mr. Markman noted that the City can not adjudicate this matter and stated the need to focus on land use planning. In response to Mayor Pro Tem Michael, Mr. Markman addressed the recordation of the tract map. He did not believe that the City should prevent the recordation of the map if the City Council ended up approving it. Mr. Markman preferred that the matter be tied to the issuance of the building permits. He noted that the focus needs to be on land use planning, not in deciding sufficient clear title. Mayor Kurth opened the public hearing. Bryan Mashian stated that the easement existed when Mr. An purchased the property. He noted that Mr. An had submitted an application previously which had excluded Area A. Regarding last week's meeting, Mr. Mashian stated that he had not had a chance to review the site plan and pointed out that it shows a fire lane going through Area A. Mr. Mashian did not believe that the City Council could process a parcel map when it requires the use of someone else's property. He proposed that the condition be modified to require that the issue be resolved prior to the recordation of the map or issuance of a building permit or grading permit. Also, Mr. Mashian addressed the need for a future driveway on Etiwanda for his property. In response to Councilmember Gutierrez, Mr. Mashian confirmed the location of this project. Frank An agreed that Area A was not included in a previous application. He noted that he received a letter from the City Attorney indicating the need to include Area A and stating that the easement was illegally transferred. Mr. An noted the time and money that has been spent on this project and requested that it be approved. Redevelopment Agency, Fire Protection District, City Council Minutes December 16, 2009 -Page 7 of 10 Mayor Kurth inquired if Area A was illegally transferred. In response, the City Attorney noted that the City will not process a subdivision showing an unplanned area in the middle of it. If he chose to, Mr. An could have processed a lot line adjustment and resolved the matter. Mr. Mashian could have relinquished his rights to Area A. At this point, the matter has not been resolved. In response to Mayor Pro Tem Michael, Mr. Markman confirmed that the City routinely identifies how a project fits with adjacent parcels. He noted that there are ways to re-record maps. In response to Councilmember Williams, Mr. Markman confirmed that the City Council should consider the project and the appeal. The use of Area A is a civil matter which will be resolved before grading permits are issued for the project. Discussion was held. Mr. An indicated that Mr. Mashian had stated that keeping the map from being recorded would protect all interests. This is not the case. Mr. An noted that he was only offered $5,000. He noted that time and money has been spent on this project and requested that the project be approved. Jeri Lee did not understand why the Planning Commission would approve this project with this matter being unresolved. In response, Mr. Markman indicated that it was a civil matter and noted that the City would be liable if it did not properly consider applications. Daniel Gepner expressed a concern with how this matter was being portrayed. He read a portion of the easement agreement to the City Council and the audience. He stated that he has interest in Area A with Mr. Mashian and stressed that this was an extremely valid agreement. Mr. Mashian did not understand why the City Attorney would recommend recordation of the map. He indicated that if this parcel map was recorded, it could be sold to an unsuspecting buyer. Also, he noted the existence of the fire lane within Area A. Mayor Kurth closed the public hearing. MOTION: Moved by Williams, seconded by Michael, to adopt Resolution No. 09-244 affirming the decision of the Planning Commission to approve Development Review DRC2007-00402 and Tentative Parcel Map SUBTPM18535 and to adopt a mitigated Negative Declaration. Condition 2i. of Resolution 09-244 states in part," Prior to the issuance of any grading or building permit, the applicant shall establish to the satisfaction of the City Manager and City Attorney that applicant has sufficient clear title to the subject property in accordance with an agreement between the two interest property owners or in accordance with a final court order to complete construction of the project and to operate the project". Motion carried 5-0. O. CITY MANAGER'S STAFF REPORTS The following items have no legal publication or posting requirements. 01.

Mayor Pro Tem Michael noted that he recently received information from a political party which referred to the census as a way to encourage recipients to open their mail. Discussion was held. In response to Councilmember Spagnolo, Ms. Nakamura confirmed that staff is referring residents to the Census job line. In response to Mayor Kurth, it was noted that the goal of the census is to count everyone. In response to Councilmember Gutierrez, it was reported that people will be sent to assist homeowners who do not complete and return the form. The goal is to count everyone, including the homeless.
