Miller, Associate Engineer CONSIDERATION TO MODIFY A CONDITTON OF APPROVAL FOR TENTATIVE ~ARC~ MA~ 1~//- GO~D~N Consideration ot an appeal ot t~e ~anning Commission's decision to deny a modification to a condition of approval to underground the existing overhead utilities beyond the limits of the project site for a subdivision of 3.28 acres of land into 2 parcels in the Very Low Residential District (less than 2 dwelling units per acre), located on the north side of Hillside Road east of Moonstone Avenue - APN: 1061- 251-24 ~COII4E~ATIOti: Staff Recon~nends the City Council sustain the Planning Conmnission's action and deny the appeal request by adoption of the attached Resolution of Denial. BACKGROUND: On December 9, 1992, the Planning Commission unamtmously approved Tentative Parcel Map 12877, SubjeCt tO conditions. At the time, the applicant requested a waiver of the undergrounding condition, but the Planning Commission decided undergrounding should be required. On February 9, 1994, the Pl arming Con~nission unanimously denied the applicant's request to modify the limits specified in the undergrounding condition. The applicant is appealing this denial for the reason stated in his appeal letter. ANALYSIS: The applicant belteves the wording of Engineering Division condition number ? is inconsistent with Planning Commission Resolution No. 87-96, attached to the Planning Commission Staff Report. The condition reads as follows: "The existing overhead utilities (tel ecommunlcations and electrical) along the north property line of Parcel 1 Shall be undergrounded from the first pole west of Moonstone Avenue to the terminus about 135 feet east of Moonstone Avenue prior to approval of the Final Parcel CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT PM 12877 - ~nLOEN March 16, 1994 Page 2 Planning Conm~ission Resolution No. 87-96 states development "shall be responsible for undergrounding ~ll existing overhead utility tines including the removal of related supporting poles adjacent to and within the limits of a development..." Section ~.b of the resolution indicates undergrounding shall extend to the first existing pole across the street from the project boundaries. The Ol arming Commission directed staff not to uti~ ize option (?) of Section 5.b, which would allow installation of a new pole on the west side of Moonstone Avenue, as this was not specifically noted in the condition of approval. CONCLUSION: The issue was discussed at the P1 arming Commission hearing and it was determined by the Commission that the condition is approo-iate as written.

Jan Sutton City Clerk City of Rancho Cucamonga 10500 Civic Center Drive Rancho Cucamonga, California 91729 Reference: Tentative Parcel Map No. 12877 Dear MS. Sutton: Subsequent to the original approval of Tentative Parcel Map No. 12877 Dr. Irwin B. Golden, the owner, retained our firm to prepare and process the Final Parcel Map. When the Tentative Map was approved a part of the condition contained in Section 3: Item No. 7 required Dr. Golden to underground the existing overhead electrical line located in Via E1 Dorado a distance of 230 feet. This portion of the condition is not consistent with the requirements of Resolution No. 87-96. In an effort to have thls condition modified we met with the Plannlng Commission on February 9, 1994. We stated our position as to why we thought this condition was not applicable to the Parcel Map. The existing field conditions do meet the requirements of · Resolution No. 87-96. In their discussions we do not feel the Commission addressed our reasons for appealing this condition, but rather chose to deliberate on subjects not applicable to Resolution 87-96 and ultxmately denied our request. Therefore, we respectfully request an audience with the City Council to hear our reasoning that the existing field conditions do comply with Resolution 87-96. 71 Enclosed is Dr. Golden's check in the amount of Two Hundred Fifty- One Dollars as the fee for this appeal.

PUBLIC HEARINGS MODIFICATION TO A CONDITION OF APPROVAL FOR TENTATIVE PARCEL MaP 12877 - GOLDEN - A request to modify the condition of approval to underground the exAmtAng overhead utilities beyond the li/~itl of the project site for a subdivision of 3.28 acres of land into 2 parcels in the vez7 Low Residential District (less than 2 dwelling units per acre), located on the north s~de of Hillside Road, eamt of Moonstone Avenue - APN: 1061-251-24. Dan James, Senior civil Engineer, presented the staff report. Carl T. Kobbine, Jr., CTK, Inc., 9640 Center Avenue, #100, Rancho Cucamonga, stated he was · civil Engineer. He stated that Dr. Golden -had paid for bringing in the overhead utility line from Carnelian when'he built his home 35 years ago and the other development which has taken place over the years have used the overhead power lines brought in by Dr. Golden. He showed drawings of the four parcels created by Dr. Golden in 1986 end stated a pole had to be moved from the roadway at that time and that pole served as a stub down to the other parcels to the south and east. He said when the two-parcel map was approved, it was thought that Dr. Golden would have to tear out existing shrubbery on his land in order to underground the utilities across his property but an alternate path had been identified so that the existing shrubbery would not have to be disturbed. Mr. Kobbins showed pictures of the existing end pole on the east side of Moonstone Avenue on Dr. Golden's property. He observed that the existing pole is hidden from view on street because of the trees. He remarked that the Engineering D~vision had stated =hat Dr. Golden could move the pole from the east side of Moonstone Avenue to the southwest side and that would satisfy the requirements of Planning Commission Resolution No. 87-96. He said that would place a pole in front of ·n existing residence where no pole currently exists and that pole would then be ·n end pole and would thus need to be guyed. Mr. Kobbins felt tha~ Dr. Golden's proper~y is not a= an intersection, but on a knuckle street, and ~herefore, he felt ~he pole as i= exists conforms with Resolution No. 87-96. Commissioner Lumpp asked why the poles were not undergrounded ·t the time Dr. Golden created the parcels ·long Via E1 Dorado. Mr. James explained =hat ~he parcel map was recorded prior to ~he Ci=y'e adopting the underground policy. Commissioner Lumpp observed ~ha= even if the pole on Dr. Golden's property and ~he pole =o the west on Via E1 Dorado were undergrounded, ~here would still be poles =o ~he west ~hat would be above ground. Mr. James affirmed that was so. He stated ~hat ~he current condition reads ~hat the pole on Dr. Golden's property and the next pole to the west, which is 230 feet west would need us be undergrounded. He said Dr. Golden could also place a pole ·cross the street on the southwest corner of Moonstone Avenue and via E1 Dorado =o meet =he City's undergrounding policy, and thereby only have to underground ~he pole on ~he ease side of Moonstone Avenue. Commissioner Lumpp asked if ~here was any potential for undergrounding poles to the wes~ along Via El Dorado. Mr. James felt it was unlikely. Co~nissioner Tolstoy acknowledged that the new end pole would have to be guyed, but he stated the utility ccxnpany has developed a way to guy with the wires going down at a 90 degree angle fro~ an arm attached to the pole instead of a 45 degree angle, and the result is not as unattractive. Mr. Kobbine stated that Southern California Edison had ~aiked in terms of using 45 degree guy wires. Commissioner Melcher expressed surprise that staff had suggested ~he applicant could satisfy the undergrounding requirement by telorating the pole from east side of Mootenons to =he other side. He thought =hat would merely be moving a visual blight ~o ·nether location where it does not currently exist. He did not support moving · pole ~o the west side of Moonstone. Planning Commission Mlnu~es -2- February 9, 1994 Co~enissioner Tolstoy ·greed that a pole should not be placed on the southwest corner of Moonstone and Via E1 Dorado. He thought the original condition to underground to the pole 230 feet west on Via E1 Dorado should remain. Chairman Barker requested a brief history on the subdivisions of this property. commissioner Melther recalled that the commission had discussed the matter thoroughly when the two-parcel map was approved. He said the Commission had noted that the two-parcel map was being created following s four-parcel map and if the land had originally been divided into the resulting five parcels, a subdivision would have been required. Hearing no further testimony, Chairman Barker closed the public hearing. Commissioner McNiel stated he also was surprised by steff's recommendation to move the pole from the east to the west side of Moonstone Avenue. He thought staff was trying to appease the applicant but such a move would not serve the purpose of the undergrounding policy. He thought the process had been diluted because the applicant had first subdivided into four parcels and then taken one of those parcels and further subdivided At into two parcels. opinion that the condition of undergrounding should be viewed in light of five lots created, not just the two. Chairman Barker felt it would be wrong to merely move the pole from the east side of Moonstone to the west side and he thanked Commissioners Melther and MCNAel for their con~ents. Commissioner Melcher noted that one owner had created all five parcels, even =hough it had been done in two separate actions. commis·ioner McNiel believed that utilities would eventually be undergrounded throughout the entire City. He said the goal of the undergrounding policy was get rid of as many poles as possible. Mr. James stated =he= =he City is able =o get money to underground arterial streets from various funds and in-lieu fees are some=Ames collected where i= is ~mprectical to underground at the time of development. However, he said such in-lieu fees can only be used for undergrounding in the location where the fee As collected. He felt general fund doll·re would have to be used to underground ·long Via ml Dorado unless someone were =o purchase the existing houses and su~divide the ·re· further and noted =ha= fur=her subdivision is very unlikely. Commissioner Lumpp stated he was having a difficult time with the undergrounding policy permitting the telstation of · pole from =he eastern side of Moons=one =o =he western side or requiring =ha= a pole 230 fee= to the wee= be changed =o an end pole requiring that guy wires be at=ached. He felt the undergrounding policy was established for ass=he=it re·sons and the telstation of · pole =o an ·re· where none exists or adding guy wires to an existing pole were no= aesthetically pleasing alternatives. Planning Commission Minutes -3- February 9, 1994 chairman McNlel felt that undergrounding should be obtained whenever and wherever possible. commissioner Tolstoy agreed and stated that would be consistent with Planning coa~uission policy and previous decisions. Commissioner Melther felt that in-lieu fees would not make any sense because the fees would have to be held for future use in this location. He did not favor any modification to the resolution.

Miller, Associate Engineer MODIFICATION TO A CONDITION OF APPROVAL FOR TENTATIVE PARCEL MAP 12877 - GOLDEN - A request to modify the condition of approval to underground the existing overhead utilities beyond the limits of the project site for a subdivision of 3.28 acres of land into 2 parcels in the Very Low Residential District (less than 2 dwelling units per acre), located on the north side of Hillside Road east of Moonstone Avenue - APN: 1061-251-24 BACKGROUND: The tentative map (Exhibit "B") was approved on December 9, 1992. At that time the applicant requested that the undergrounding requirement be waived because less than 300 feet was involved. The Planning Commission chose not to waive the condition (see attached minutes). "ow the applicant is requesting a modification to the limits of undergrounding, as indicated in the attached letter. ANALYSIS: Engineering Division condition number 7 reads "The existing overhead utilities (telecommunications and electrical) along the north property line of ParcA 1 shall be undergrounded from the first pole west of Moonstone Avenue to the terminus about 135 feet east of Moonstone Avenue prior to approval of the Final Parcel The wording of the condition is based upon Planning Conmnission Resolution No. 87-96 (attached) which states development "shall be responsible for undergrounding all existing overhead utility lines including the removal of tel ated supporting poles adjacent to and within the 1 imits of a development..." Section 5.b of the resolution indicates undergrounding shall extend across the street for corner properties. The applicant has been told install ing a new pole on the southwest corner of Moonstone Avenue and Via E1 Dorado would satisfy the condition and minimize the length of undergrounding required (Exhibit "C") . The applicant would prefer to leave the existing pole on the east side of Moonstone Avenue and underground only the portion running along his north property line. Y PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT TENT PARCEL MAP 12877 - GOLDEN February 9, 1994 Page 2 RECOMMENDATION: The Commission should review all the evidence and either deny the request or determine whether appropriate finaings can be made within the context of Resolution 87-96 to support the applicant's request.

Staff recommends issuance of a mitigated Negative Declaration. Betty Miller, Associate Engineer, presented the staff report. Chairman McNiel opened the public hearing. Greg Golden, 8231 Sunflower Avenue, Rancho Cucamonga, stated he represented his parents, the owners. He said there were two main issues: the trail proposed by the Trails committee on the north side of Parcel 1 and the undergrounding requirement. He provided pictures of the existing landscaping in the area of the proposed trail and the undergrounding. He noted that the landscaping had been there for 35 years and stated he felt i= would be detrimental to the property to have to remove the olive and avocado trees in Order to build the trail and underground the utilities. He observed that =here is a clause in the Undergrounding Policy Resolution that permits waiving of the undergrounding requirement if less than 300 feet is involved. He remarked that he had received feedback from neighbors =hat they oppose disturbing the parkway in order to underground. He questioned why the landscaping on Parcel 1 should be destroyed in order to develop Parcel 2. He stated that the proposed trail would have to cross two 30-foot deep ravines to reach Parcel 2, and therefore was depicted as stopping at the edge of the ravine. He noted that construction of the trail would require removal of nine mature trees. He thought it would be better to consider constructing a trail for Parcel 2 when the 5-acre parcel to the north is developed. Commissioner Melcher asked if the three lots facing Hillside Road had originally been owned by the Goldens. Mr. Golden responded affirmatively. Ralph Hanson, Deputy City Attorney, discussed Planning Condition 3 and suggested that the requirement regarding a notice of applicability of Hillside Development Regulations be tied to the record title because it would otherwise be impractical to determine if the notice had been disclosed. Hearing no further testimony, Chairman McNiel closed the public hearing. Chairman McNiel stated that one of the goals of the City is to have utilities undergrounded at the earliest possible time. He said the requirement is therefore generally tied to lot spli=s. Commissioner Melcher asked the maximum number of parcels that can be created by a parcel map under the Map Act. Planning Commission Minutes -3- December 9, 1992 Ms. Miller responded it must be less than five parcels. Commissioner Melther observed that the Goldshe had gone through the process twice, previously subdividing into four parcels and now dividing into two parcels. Me noted that with a total of six lots, it would have required a subdivision if it had been split all at once. Chairman McNiel asked when the first lot splits had occurred. Me. Miller responded it had been approximately 1986. Commissioner Vallette asked for clarification of the Undergrounding Policy with respect to undergrounding and the provision for waiving the requirement in oases where less than 300 feet is to be undergrounded. MS. Miller responded that the policy allows for waiving of the undergrounding requirement if it is impractical at the time; however, it requires payment of an in-lieu fee for the full amount if that occurs. She stated there is also a clause permitting exemption if the lines extend 600 feet off-site and the adjacent property would likely not develop. She stated that was not true in this case. Commissioner Vallette asked for confirmation of the trail issue. Dan Coleman, Principal Planner, stated the applicant had originally proposed ~ local trail along the east boundary of Parcel 2, but the Trails committee had felt that would not he practical because of the topography. He said the Coawnittee had envisioned the trail as providing access to Parcel 1 from Moo=stone. Commissioner Melcher questioned the purpose of requiring the trail. Mr. Coleman stated it was to provide access for horses, hay deliveries, etc. Commissioner vallette asked if the Trails Committee typically requires removal of mature vegetation to establish a trail. Mr. Coleman did not believe the Committee was aware of the vegetation at the time they proposed the trail location. Commissioner Melcher noted there i8 a single service leaving Moo=stone to serve Parcel I and he felt it would he appropriate to require the undergrounding at this time. He noted that the utilities are undergrounded soon after enterLng the property. commissioner Tolstoy felt the condition requiring the trail could be deleted because it would not serve anyone but Parcel 1. He remarked that if there had been a possibility to extend the trail in the future to serve other properties, he wou~d have voted for requiring the trail. Me fe~t that if the property to the north is subdivided, a trai~ could then be required to react Parce12. He agreed that the undergrounding should be required. Planning Commission Minutes -4- December 9, 1992 Commissioner Melther agreed the trail should not be required on Parcel 1. Commissioner Chitlea concurred that ~t would be appropriate to delete the trail because it would serve only Parcel 1 and Parcel 2 could have direct access to the Community Trail. Commissioner Vallette agreed. Motion: Moved by Chitlea, seconded by Melther, to issue a Negative Declaration and adopt the resolution approving Tentative Parcel Map 12877 with modifications to delete the requirement for a local feeder trail and to require a statement on the record t~tle regarding the applicability of Millside Development Regulations.

Planning Com~ssion recommends issuance of a Negative Declaration. The Planning Commission recommends approval of this application as modified at the public hearing on February 23, 1994. General Plan Amendment No. 93-02B was first considered by the Planning Commission on February 9, 1994. HOWever, that hearing was continued and readvertised to February 23, 1994, for the purpose of presenting an alternative land use designation for the Coesaission's consideration. The staff reports and minutes for both meetings have been included for your review. The General Plan Amendment presented to the Planning Comtssion on February 23, 1994, proposed a new land use category of Recreational Coswsercial which would apply to the entire 27-acre site. This category would also allOW up to 35 percent of the total gross leasable area of the project to be for general retail con~ercial uses in addition to already permitted or conditionally permitted uses of Subarea 7. The Commission expressed concern regarding the A~unt of additional retail commercial uses this would add to the City and after discussion on the item, they modified the General Plan Amendment request by deleting reference to "electronics, furniture, and appliances" retail uses. CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT GPA 93-02B & ISPA 94-02 - MASI March 16, 1994 Page 2 The proposed Industrial Area Specific Plan Amendment was to allow a limited amount of general commercial in Subarea 7 of the ISP and to expand the definition of "Automotive Service Court" to include "general automotive repair." The Planning Coum~ission approved a modified Industrial Area Specific Plan amendment which deleted the reference to general comercial within Subarea 7 and inserted language permitting recreation/sporting goods and apparel retail. This modification was consistent with the Planning Conmission's action on the General Plan Amendment. The Planning Conmission supported the addition of general automotive repair to the definition of "Automotive Service Court" as submitted by the applicant. Staff has found no significant impacts on the environment as a result of the proposed General Plan Amendment and the Industrial Area Specific Plan Amendment. The Planning Comission reconmends issuance of a Negative Declaration. FACTS FOR FIHDIi!JGS The proposed amendments are consistent with the Industrial Area Specific Plan and the General Plan.

BACKGROUND: This item was continued and re-advertised from the last meeting f~r ~be purpose of presenting an alternative land use designation for the Planning Cammiseion's consideration. The staff report of Fe~rusr~ 9, 1994 is attached for your reference. ANALYSISt 8~aff can Support retail co a limited basis as an alternative to the request for General Comercial. The al~licant desires region- serving and sub-region serving speciality re~ail uses because of their location along the City*s primary coemercial corridor and proximity to the 1-15 Freeway. Staff believes that the area can support some additional comercial land. The Rancho Cucamonga Adult Spore Park and RAncho Cucamonga Stadium, which adjoin the Subject site ~o ~he south, creates a unique opportunity for recreational comercial activity. PLANNING CO~4ISSION STAFF REPORT GPA 93-02 & ISPA 94-02 - MASI February 23, 1994 Page 2 GENERAL PLAN AMENDMENT: The General Plan currently has five comercial land use categories to meet the City's need for retail and services- These include: Neighborhood Co~=nercial, General Commercial, Community Commercial, Regional Commercial, and Office Professional. Staff recommends that a new commercial land use category be created as follows: Recreation Commercial: Development of recreation facilities and retail uses shall be encouraged along Foothill BOulevard surrounding the Rancho Cucamonga Adult Sport Park near the intersection of Rochester Avenue. The baseball stadium and year-round sports activities in the Sports Park create a unique opportunity to provide secondary region-serving speciality retail uses that are not major general merchandise department stores or food or ~rug stores- They generally use approximately 3,500 - 55,000 square feet of gross leasable area and require sites with high visibility and high traffic counts. These centers typically have convenient freeway access and draw their customers from within a five to ten mile radius. Uses in this category are regional in nature and not normally found in neighborhood commercial centers. These types of occupancies could include discount retailers, such an sporting goods, apparel, electronics, furniture, and appliances. INDUSTRIAL SPECIFIC PLAN: SubarM 7 of the Industrial Are Specific Plan stretches along the south side of Foothill BOulevard from Day Creek to Deer Creek, a distance of approximately two miles- Although it is designated "Industrial Perk" in the Industrial Ares Specific Plan, land use activities currently perntttted include not only traditional light manufacturing, but also a full range of office, administrative, business support, and other business and personal related services, including convenience retail, entertainment, and automotive services. Staff recomende that the descriptim of the purpose of Subarea 7 be modified to reflect the current City policies and development patterns, as follows= primazy Functionz Subarea 7 occupies an area directly south of Foothill Boulevard which represents an important land use edge betwee~ the Cityes Industrial Area and a large master planned comsn~nity to the north- FOOthill Boulevard is the City's primary comiercial corridor and serves as a gateway to the City. Along FOOthill B~ulevard, the intersections at Haven, Milliken, and Rochester Avenues have been designated as activity centers to promote cOncentrated activity and establish a unique design theme. A major industrial and office development on approximately 300 acres is currently undergoing phased construction between Haven and Millikan &vanuse- Within this area is the Rancho Cucamonga Civic Center and San Bernardino County Courthouse- PLANNING COM4ISSION STAFF REPORT GPA 93-02 & ISPA 94-02 - MAgi February 23, 1994 Page 3 Staff also recomends that language be added to reflect the proposed Recreational Commercial land use designation for the Masi Plaza project site. The following language is similar to the approach used in the Industrial Area Specific Plan SubarM 7 regulations for the K Mart center: Special Consideration: At the southwest corner of FOOthill Boulevard and Rochester Avenue, adjoining the Rancho Cucamonga Adult Sports Park and Rancho Cucamonga Stadium, the Development Code land use provisions for the General Commercial District shall also apply to the planned 27-acre mixed-use center, except that department stores or food or d_--,-ug stores shall not be allowed. These uses shall be in addition to those uses allowed by the Industrial Park (Subarea 7). The amount of general conwercial shall not exceed 35 percent of the total goes leasable area for the project. In 1992, the City Council amended the Industrial Area Specific Plan to add a new land use type, "Automotive Service COurt' to encourage automotive repair uses to congregate into planned centers with appropriate screening. Subsequently, an automotive service court wan approved and built on Archibald Avenue at 8th Street. Currently, major automotive and truck repair, such as transmission and engine repair, and body work, are prohibited. Staff believes that general automotive repair, such as transmission and engine repair, is appropriate and compatible with other uses allowed within an automotive service court. Therefore, staff reconmends modifying the definition as follows: (The design criteria do not change.) Automotive Service Court: An integrated cluster of related automotive service activities, which typically include: gas stationsl service stations, with or without ancillary uses such as car washes and food marts~ general automotive service and repair including mufflers, shocks, alig~unts, brakes, oil changes, lubrications, tune-ups, smog checks, tire repair and replacement, and transmissions# installation of air conditioning, car phones, stereos, windshields, and upholstery; windshield tinting; sale of auto partee endoWher related services. ENVIRGMM~FraL ASSBSS~NT: Staff han reviewed Part I of the Initial Study and completed Part ll and has found no sigeificant adverse environmen~al impacts that will occur an a result of the proposed General Plem Amendment or Industrial Area Specific Plan Amendment. CORRESPOMD~CEz This item has been advertised as a public .hearing in the Inland Valley Dally Bulletin newspaper, the proparty has been posted, and notices were sent ~o all property e~ners within 300 feet of the project site.

Chairman Barker recessed the meeting from S:04 p.m. to S:ll p.m. to await the arrival of the applicant. 113 Brad Bullet, city Planner, presented the staff report. Commissioner McNlel ·eked if there would be a reconflgur·=lon of the proposed auto cour~ because of the proposed additional uses in the auto court. Commissioner Tolstoy ·eked if any additional square footage w·s being requested for the ·uto court ·re·. Mr. Buller replied that staff had not been informed of any proposed site ch·nges or additional square footage requested. Chairman Barker opened the public he·ring. John Mannerins, Mannerins & Briguglio, 9333 B·se Line Re·d, Suite 110, Rancho Cucamonga, showed a layout of the entire project as it is currently approved. He believed the project should h·ve been developed as · Gener·l Co~a~ercial project. He thought the are· had changed since adoption of the Gener·l Pl·n and any re·sons which may h·ve existed when the plan wee adopted were no longer valid. He felt the addition of 35 percent General Commercial with the hal·rice being considered Recreational Co~xnercial would work. He cmnted that the requirement for conditional use permits would afford protection to the City. He s·ld no configuration changes were proposed for the service st·tion. He etated that Mr. Meal, Bill Claire, and M~3~e Scandiffio were present in the audience to answer questions. coemissioner McNiel questioned if the additional auto related uses might cause a change in the configuration of buildings within the auto cour~ because of the necessity to orient roll up doors aw·y from the street or main driveway. Mr. Mannerins said no such changes are anticipated at this time. Camnissloner Lumpp noted that the site plan appeared different from the plans most recently presented to the Planning Corea~lssion, in that the larger buildings along the southern end of the project had been broken up into smaller buildings. Mr. Bullet stated that the site plan presented this evening did not match the latest application presented by the applicant. Mr. Mannerins stated the site plan did match the last approved plan and was as the applicant intends to build the project. ccemissionef Lusl~ said there had been a workshop with only three buildings on the south. Dan Coleman, Principal Planner, stated that workshop plan had represented the applicant°s plane for a skating rink, which called for combining several of the smaller buildings. C,w~lsaloner Lompp asked if the application for Conditional Use Permit 93-27 had been withdrawn. P C Adjourned Meeting Minutes -2- February 23, 1994 Mike Scandiffio. 1510 Riverside Drive, Burbank, stated they had broken up the al~lication into several pieces for the benefit of the Planning Commission. He said when the application for the Spaghetti Factory was presented, they showed combining several of the smaller buildings in the back of the parcel, but the plan had not worked out because of parking requirements. Commissioner Tolstoy noted that the application had been before the coeMnission for a ~ong time because of al~ of the changes which were requested. Mr. Mannerins acknowledged that the project had taken a long time. He felt most of the delays and changes were because they had been trying to fit the project onto an industrially zoned property. He said they had been trying to zone by perspective tenant and that cannot be done. He said there is a pending conditional use permit application which has not been withdrawn. He observed that the plans for a skating rink had run into trouble because of parking needs. He said discussions with staff regarding the parking are still ongoing. He stated · n-mher of people had expressed an interest in having a skating/roller rink in the location, but it did not ~ook like it will happen. commissioner Lumpp noted that at the last meeting he had requested an exhibit showing the entire area and where the proposed 35 percent General Cuesaercial would be located. Mr. Mannerins pointed out which buildings were anticipated to be used for 35 percent General Commercial uses. Hearing no further testimony, chairman Barker closed the public hearing. Co~missioner Lumpp supported the addition of a Recreational Co~mnercial designs=ion. He felt the Sports Park is a catalyst for additional commercial uses$ however, he thought electronics, furniture, and appliances are general retail uses rather than recreational in nature. He requested the elimination of such uses from the definition as well as the word 'discount.' Commissioner HcHAel cuewanted the project has been a long, hard struggle. He said he had not been resistant to most of the applicsnt's requests even though he has been troubXed by some things including the entr~ statement being used. He felt the requested uses might be acceptable. He thought the uses being requested would still fall short of strip commercial. He was saddened the applicant had reverted to the plan with the smaller buildings to the south as he thought the thEN larger buildings would be aesthetically stronger. commissioner T~lstoy etated he was excited about the Recreational Commercial aspect of ~be pro~ect. He thought the Sports Complex will be complimented by Recreational C~wwerciel endeavors in close proximity. He said he had a problem with the General Commercial. He felt clothing wnuld be acceptable because there is plenty of latitude for sports apparel; however, he did no~ support the inclusion of furniture, electronics, or appliances'. He thought the applicant had requested a maximum size of 40,000 square feet for general retail uses. P C Adjourned Meeting Minutes -3- February 23, 1994 115 Mr. Bullet said there is currently a maximum cap of 25,000 square feet for speciality home ~mprovement retail uses. He said there had previously been a proposal to raise the cap no 40,000 square feet. Commissioner Tolstoy did not feel it would be appropriate in the area to have a 40,000 square foot building with furniture or appliances. He supported Recreational Commercial with limited commercial being limited to specific sizes. He did not feel large commercial enterprises are compatible with Recreational Commercial. Chairman Barker asked if a size cap was proposed. Mr. Bullet said there was none proposed at this time. Mr. Coleman said a total cap of 35 percent was proposed as the maximum for the entire project, but there was no cap for any one tenant. Commissioner Tolstoy observed that the study presented regarding the feasibility for commercial uses did not address the entire City. He thought the city already has a lot of land designated for co~mercial and a lot of commercial property is empty. He feared the addition of more commercial would add to the problem of empty stores and ghost centers. Chairmen Barker observed that when driving down Foothill Boulevard there ls'a huge area of unused, open land next to the Sports complex, which is drawing in people. He felt the City should continue the theme of recreational uses. He thought a skating rink or other recreational activities should be encouraged, including Recreational Commercial uses. He feared the opportunity for recreational uses would be lost. He did not support the sale of refrigerators and couches. He understood Commissioner McNlel's concern about the entryway statement. He felt the corner is important and he thought the center should be successful for the owner. He was frustrated because the project seemed to have been piecemealed together. He felt the proposal represented a compromise recognizing the fact that changes have taken place. He said the Commission recognized that a new look should be taken at the industrial area because of impacts of what has happened in the last 10 years. He wanted the project to be something the City and owner would be proud of. Commissioner Lumpp suggested changing the language to include sporting goods and sporting apparel. He observed the proposal was to amend the General Plan to add a Recreational C~mmercial use and other landowners could then request that such · designation be permitted for their property. He did not feel electronics, furniture, and appliances fit in · RecreetLonal Commercial category and he thought inclusion of those items was an effort to dilute the intent of emillying the General Plan. chairman Barker asked If It was clear In the definition that any property designated Recreational C~emercial would focus on the theme of recreation. Mr. Bullet felt that the definLtion identif~ed that the Sports Complex generated the concept eo srMme other major recreet£onal center would have to be in proximity before a Recreational Cmrcial use would be permitted. P c Adjourned Meeting Minutes -4- February 23, 1994 I,' c~isaloner L~mpp agreed the~e is no o~her place in Rancho Cucamonga that would mee~ the proposed criteria; however, he felt that amending the General Plan still left the use as available. Commissioner Tolstoy said Recreation Commercial is a zoning within a specific plan located near the YMCA, but it is not a General Plan designation. Commissioner McNlel asked for a response on the entry statement issue. Mr. Buller observed that the Commission last dealt with the issue at a workshop and the applicant was directed to bring back a revised plan to show how they would address it. He said that plan had not been submitted back to staff and no building permits can be issued until the issue is addressed. Motion: Moved by Lumpp, seconded by McNlel, to rec~mnend issuance of a negative declaration and adopt the resolutions recc~mnending approval of General Plan Amendment 93-02B with modifications to delete the listing of electronics, furniture, and appliance uses. Motion carried by the following votez AYES z NOES: ABSENT: COMMISSIONERS: COMMISSIONERS= COMMISSIONERS= BARKER, LUMPP, MCNIEL, TOLSTOY NONE MELCHER -carried Chairman Barker reopened the public hearing. Mr. Mannarite asked for clarification that the General Plan Amendment was passed with the exception that the language regarding appliances, electronics, and furniture were stricken from the definition. chairman Barker confirmed that was correct. He again closed the public hearing. commissioner Tolstoy believed the expansion of the uses in the auto service cour~ was a good idea. He felt the cour~ on Archibald and 8th Street was successful. He observed the design standards were not being changed. C~mmissioner McNlel concurred. Cam~lssioner Lumpp felt language in the Primary Function section should be revised by deleting the last two sentences regarding the industrial and office development between hetw%en Haven and Millikan. chairman B~zksr questioned the reason for the verbage. Mr. Bullet stated that staff was trying to update the existing paragraph within the Industrial Area Specific Plan, which gives a s~atus and direction of the area. He felt it could easily be dropped. Coe~lssioner Lumpp noted the Commission was being asked to add a Special Consideration paragraph regarding 27 acres of sixed-use camercial including P C Adjourned Meeting Minutes -5- February 23, 1994 35 percent of general retail. He noted that convenience goods and other retail uses are already permitted and conditionally permitted within Sub·re· 7 and he opposed the addition of a blanket statement diluting Sub·re· 7 to allow additional retail uses which perhaps would cause problems in other areas of the community with respect to general retail uses. He said he was not trying to hinder the develol~nent of this project, but he felt the only additional co~fnercial uses should he recreational in nature and general retail is not appropriate for the area. He suggested deletion of the Special Consideration paragraph. He thought such an action would be consistent with what the Commission had recedehanded for.the General Plan Amendment. He supported the expansion of the definition of Automotive Service Court so long ·s the existing layout of the project did not change. Commissioner MeNial asked how General Commercial differs from Recreational Commercial. Mr. Bullet stated there is not currently a listing of Recreational Coe~nercial uses. He said the proposed Special considerations par·graph had merely referred to the entire range of uses in the General Commercial land use category. To be consistent with Con~issioner Lumpp's proposal, he suggested deletion of the language regarding Developsent Code land use provisions and inserting language permitting recreation/sporting goods and apparel retail uses in order to be consistent with the proposed General Plan amendment. Commissioner McNiel asked if the total retail would be 3S percent. Coemissioner Lumpp believed the 35 percent was requested for General Co~mercial uses. He thought the 35 percent reference could be deleted because General Commercial would not be an approved use and the recreation/sporting uses could be more than 35 percent. chairman Barker reopened the public hearing. Mr. Mannafine felt the proposed deletion of General Commercial would defeat the purpose of the application. He said they had spent hours in terms of trying to codify the problem the developer has. Re thought they would not get that many sporting goods and sporting apparel stores in the area. He acknowledged that the recreational/sporting theme should be carried. He said they had attempted to carry the theme through the various uses. He believed some General C~mmercl·l would be necessary to fill the spaces. He thought there would be reco~nition of the area and uses such as · wcmen'e bouttque or video store w~ald prmbebly not fit in. He acknowledged that it does not work to zone by lz~epec~lve tenant, but he felt there should be zoning by who would he likely to INste in the ·re·. He felt It w~uld be appropriate to have 35 percent Of ~ener81 Commercial within the center in addition to the Recreational Commercial. He felt there were no other properties in the city with the s~me let of circumstances as the Masi propar~y, so there was not · danger of setting a precedent. Chairman Barker again closed the public hearing. P C Adjourned Meeting Minutes -6- February 23, 1994 ,/ 11R Ccxmsnissioner McNiel felt the debate has gone on too long, He observed that the proper~:y is Industrial end the City has ellowed some Commercial end retail which has continued to grow, He was not sure there is a satisfactory solution. conxnisstoner Lumpp believed convenience uses are already conditionally permitted within Subarea 7. He thought there would be no need to have · Recreation Commercial designation if the use is changed to have General Conm~rcial. Commissioner Tolstoy reiterated that he believes there is enough General Commercial exisning and designated within the City. He felt the addition of General C~nercial to this property would further dilute the retail community. Mr. Bullet said he believed the applicant has stated they want General Commercial. He indicated staff had brought the matter to the C~e~nission with a readiness to support General Commercial with a 35 percent limitation. He noted that the matter would go to the city Council for final action. He suggested a revision to the special Considerations paragraph to indicate that recreation/sporting goods and apparel would be permitted. Motionx Moved by Lumpp, seconded by MeNial, to recmnd issuance of · negative declaration and adopt the resolution el)proving Industrial Specific Plan Amendment 94-02 with modification to modify the Primaz7 Function paragraph by deleting the final two sentences and the Special Consideration paragraph to permit recreation/sporting goods and apparel retail uses.

The applicant is currently in ~he process of revising the approved site plan and seeking approval for several cosmercial and recreatio~ n~-coestruction Conditional Use Permits. 1.q pLANNING CO~R4ISSION STAFF REPORT GPA 93-02B - MASI February 9, 1994 Page 2 LAND USE ANALYSISz A. Background: 1. Industrial Area Specific Plan: Subarea 7 of =he Industrial Area Specific Plan stretches along the sou~h side of Foothill Boulevard from Day Creek to Deer Creek, a distance of approximately two miles. Although it is designated mIndustrial Park~ in the Industrial Area Specific Plan, land use activities currently permitted include not only traditional light manufacturing, but also a full range of office, aam{nistrative, business suppert, and other business and personal related services, including convenience retail, entertainment, end automotive services. A list of permitted and conditionally permitted uses can be found in Exhibit 'C.s This very broad mix of uses is intentional. It was devised to provide a viable transitic~ between ~he industrial and employment areas to ~he south end ~he residential/re,all developments to ~he north. It also recognizes ~hat Foothill Boulevard, as ~he major east-west artery connecting to ~he 1-15 Freeway, will eventually attrac~ high v~lm services needed in the cc~mmnity but not appropriately located within either the industrial area =o the south or the residential/retail areas to the north. At the same tim, the current regulations stop short of allowing a full range of unrestric~ed retail ac~tvities in Subarea 7. The City:s current land use pla. for Foothill Boulevard recognizes that the coneunity must balance the amount and location of retail/cc~tercial establishments along the entire 6-1/2 mile corridor so am not to cree~e a negative impact on existing retail centers in the older ~art of the coneunity or already planned commercial centers elsewhere. The lntontiou is to strike a balance. Ideally, xu ample amount of cofmercial zoning should be available to acoomodate needed Eelall services within the Camunity without creating such an overabundance of con~ercially zoned land that It cannot be developed to its potsaria1, resulting in marginal or temporary land uses. 2. Previous Applicationsz The Planning Ccmdssion reviewed · request to expand the list of permitted and conditionally permitted uses in SubarM 7 of the Industrial Area Specific Plan (l~PA 92-02) in March 1992. The list of uses originally requested included a broad range of re~ail/coemercial uses. Through ~_he Planning Coe~lssion review PLANNING CO~4ISSION STAFF REPORT GP& 93-02B - MASI February 9, 1994 Page 3 process, the request for such a broad array of additional retail uses was denied. At the time of the previous request, it was the Planning Commission's belief that the community could n~c suppor~ the broad range of additional retail/commercial establishments on this property without a negative impac~ 'on the existing retail centers in the older part of ~he community or ·lre·dy planned co~nercial centers elsewhere. The Amendment in i~s final form as allroved by City Council on June 3, 1992, only included the addition of 'Specialty Building Supplies and Home Improvement' and "Automotive Service Courtm as conditionally permitted uses. Proposed Land Uses: The applicant has requested a Change in the land use designation from Industrial Park to General Comercial. The General Plan states that the General Co~mlercial category categorized by a broader range of use activities' than any of the commercial designations. This category includes local coasnercial, comity shopping/office complexes, and commerci·~ uses surrounding the regional center. The General Plan intends that future coemercial ac~ivities be organized into planned, group concentrations as opposed ~o being organized in a linear fashion· AS an altern·=ive to this ~he ·pplicant has presented an option which proposes a 'special retail allowance' for their site and other 'eligible' sites which meet a set of locationnl and size criteria (noted in Exhibit 'B'). The proposed USes include sports related retail which is to include USes suCh as hobby sullliesl ar~s and crafts sullliesl vi~eo/cd rentals and sales, sporting 9oods, spor~s wear and accessories, western wear, and antique and ar~ sales. The ·lllicant c~u~emplates a 40,000 Square foot Cap on these uses. Additionally, 'specialty retail' Is proposed as part of this altorna~lve which would include such USes as housewares, appliances, elec~ronics, home furnishings and ·ccessories, auto lmr~s end accessories, sewing sulllies, health and beauty s~pplies, Card and gift stores, plants and garden suppliesl a~parel, foodware ·nd related l~emss variety stores and other related specialty retail items. The applicant proposes a 25,000 square foot cap on these USes. The applicant also proposes that · 're~ail allowance' be assigned which would be equal to 35 percent of ~he total planned square foo~age for the proiJect or 85,000 sc~,~-e feet. Also, ~he applicant proposes that these uses only be porm~t~ed in certoin b~Lil~Lng locatious. ,-.., 1 PLANNING CO~4ISSION STAFF REPORT GPA 93-02B - MASI February 9, 1994 Page 4 However, both of these alternatives are similar to ~he request ~hat ~he Planning Conmission denied on April 8, 1992 (ISPA 92- 02). If the COnmission considers this option as a valid proposal, then serious consideration should be given to redesignating the southeast corner of Pachester Avenue and Foothill Boulevard. This property has a similar setting to the site being considered and is in closer proximity to existing commercially zoned property and ~he 1-15 Freeway Corridor. land Use Issues: Notwithstanding the concerns noted above which were voiced by the Planning Connission on the previous application, there are several factors which lend support ~o the concept of additional commercial uses on the site. 1. Sports Complex: The construction and completion of the Sports Complex in early 1993 has created a synerg~ and a niche for spor~s oriented commercial which was not anticipate4 by ~he City'l General Plan or Industrial Area Specific Plan. Additionally, the location of the stadium physically separates the project site from the industrially zoned area to the south. 2. Proxtm4ty to 1-15 Freeway: The project site is situsted 1/4 mile west of the 1-15 Freeway corridor which makes it attractive for region serving commercial develolment. 3. Activity Center: The corner of ~ochester Avenue and Fonthill Boulevard has been designated an Ac~lvit7 Center by the Foothill Boulevard Specific Plan es well as the Industrial Area Specific Plan. AS such, this intersecticm must comply with specific design standards which generally provide for a more formlized and urban appearance. Such aspects as si~e design, reduced sethache, bardscape, pedestrian orientation, landscape, IAe~ting, and architectural onncelYc must he considered. These ~pes of special design onnsideratio~s set apar~ Activity Cei~er intersections from other lntersec~ions along Fonthill Boulevsrd and therefore, could make the area more suitable for onmercial development. , 1 Q7 pLANNING CO~I4ISSZON STAFF REPORT GP& 93-02B - MASI February 9, 1994 Page 5 C. Econ~c Iseues~ 1. Market Analysis: In order to evaluate the need and viability of designating the site as General COmmercial, staff requested an economic analysis and market .study. The applicant su~nitted the attached 'Trade Area and Land Use Analysis' report. The study was conducted by Claire and Associates and examines the viability of designating the project site as General Commercial. The study eNam{nes the existing and future trade area demographic characteristics available to support comercial and analyzes the attributes and constraints of the site. The study reco{nds that the General Plan be amended to designate the site as General Commercial. In reviewing the report, staff has identified the follo~ing deficiencies wi~h the study= ae The need for additionally zmed comercial land within the comunity is not clearly demonstrated. The study does not address ho~ additional commercial land is necessar~ within the context of the Industrial Area Specific Plan, ~he comunity and the clear from the study why more commercial land is needed beyond what is already planned for in the City. b. The study is site specific only. The study is site specific and does not address the City wide impact of the proposed ]and use change to add more onmrcial land. Previous studies have indicated that we have an abundance of commercially zoned properties. The study does not take into consideration already designated onsmmrcially zoned property. Tt~ study acknowledges the demand (l.e., "agglomeration') for secondary region-serving retail and c~sercial service in the vicinity of the planned Victoria Gardens Regional Sh~p!~ing Center. Bc~ever, the study should indicate that then is already approximately 300 acres of comercial property designated along Fcothill Boulevard .and around the Victoria Gardens prodtot that can fulfill this demand. ~ study should analyze whether the existing designations m~ adequate to meet the retail needs of the trade ares. PLANNING CO~e4ISSION STAFF REPORT GPA 93-02B - MASI February 9, 1994 Page 6 ee Effective buying income of the trade area is not analyzed in relation to existing and planned commercial properties. The study projects an effective buying income within the trade area of over $3 billion in the year 2010, and total retail store sales Of $614,082,383. In order to give meaning to these figures, the study should analyze the amount of existing and planned co-nercial land and their projected total retail sales. In other words, will existing and planned conmarcia1 propez%ies meet or exceed the buying ~ower of the trade area? The study does not acknowledge the recent completion of several commercial centers. The study references sales 'leakage" in the trade area, and particularly Eancho Cucamonge. It should note the recent reversal of this trend with the completion of several co-marcia1 centers, particularly secondary region- serving centers, such as the Tetra Vista Town Center (Target, Mervyn's, ROss, MOntgomery Wards, Service Merchandise) and Foothill Marketplace (Price Club, Wal- Mart). This has resulted in an increase in sales tax revenue for the City of Rancho Cucamonga, whereas most of the other cities in the region have seen declining stagnant sales tax revenues. Whetsos the region posted a 2.6 percent loss in the second quarter of 1993, the City of Rancho Cuoamonga saw an increase of 11.3 percent in taxable sales (see Exhibit The study does not consider pending General Plan Amendment recXuests. Three such requests ere currently being processed through the Cityz 25 acres at the nor.~.heast comer of Spruce Avenue end Foothill ROulevard, 12 acres at the southeast corner of the 1-15 Freeway end Base Line Road, and the General D~na=tcs site which could lx~centially add 200 acres of mixed-use co.--ercial land ~o the City. The cumulative impac~c of all these requests is si~mificant. The steady does not Justify the scope of retail uses requested. The study states that the trade area could "easily support 100,000 square feet of sub-regl~ and ragloft-serving uses that ere no~ major general merchandise department stores, food or drug stares.# T~ s~udy further defines these uses as "secondary region-serving specialty retsil uaes...approximately 10,000 - 40,000 square fee~," such as ....,139 pLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT GPA 93-02B - MASI February 9, 1994 Page 7 ~Lscount retailers. However, ~he applicant ' s request includes local-serving retail uses (see Exhibit "B") which typically are found ~n neighborhood shopping centers. Consideration of Alternative Designations: TO provide Comnission with alternatives to ~he existing and proposed designations, staff has included an analysis of categories similar in character to those under discussion. Office and residential uses were not considered viable land use alterna=ivas. Staff examined =he following land use alternatives: Limited Spor~s or Recreation Related Commercial: Although no such land use category exists in the General Plan, a specialized comercial definition could be developed and added to the Industrial Area Specific Plan, Subarea 7 as a condiuionally permitted use. This commercial usage would take into account the presence of the Sports C'mTlex and would thus acknowledge the unanticipated market this facility has created. POtential uses would include sporting ~)od stores, sportswear and accessory stores, sports collec~ablas aria trophies, and sports equipnet rental, repair, and sales. The Limited Sports/Recreation Comercial designation would allow for a specific type of retail =hat would be directly related to the Sports Complex. Staff could suppor~ thiq option which ~ould be processed as an Indus~rial Area Specific Plan Amendment to expand the list of conditionally peTmi~ted uses within Subarea 7. Bowever, the applicant does not support this option because of its l~m~tstion on the type of retell allowed· General C~mercial with a cap of 40,000 Square Feet: This category would be identical to the General Comercial designation reeDlasted by the appXicant except that a cap of 40,000 square feet would be added to any individual user. This square foot limitation would cateusihly eliminate larger retail users such a K-Marc, H(mte Dmpo~, Circuit City, etc., which oould locate elsewhere in General Cmercial arms. Even with ~ 14m4tation, it would be adding ad41tional General CQmercial uses to the Fourhill Boulevard oorrider without the JUStification to support it. Conunity Coemercial: The General Plan defines this category as innended to provia- residents with a greater- range of services and merchandise than found a~ the comercial level. Businesses located within Conunity Cuaeercial designations tend to provide general merchandise. The amount of gross leasable area ranges from 100,000 to 300,000 square feet. Tnese centers have a ~tade area with a 3 to 5 mile radius and are between 15 to 50 acres in size· Centers within C~.~.anity Commercial areas often include pLANNING CO~R4ISSION STAFF REPORT GPA 93-02B - MASI February 9, 1994 Page 8 ssm~ range Of retail and service USes found ~ r~gional centers and typically accommodate a junior department store or a variety store· E~aw?les include: Foothill Marketplace (Price Club, Wal-Mar=) and the Terrs Vista Town Center· Staff cannot support this request because of the extent of commercial uses which could be added to the site and the lack of justification for additional C~unity Commercial USes on Foothill BOulevard. Industrial Park (Subarea 7): The existing designation has no inherent probl-ms in staff's opinion and would still be an appropriate land use. Adjacent property to the west is designated for IndUStrial Park, as is land on the east side of Rochester Avenue. This arrangement of industrially designated land in Subarea 7 could allow for a viable development in the future. Staff could support the existing designation ~n the site since Subarea 7 allows a fulX range of office, business support services, business supply retail, convenience re~all, recreation, entertainment, and certain automotive services. E. CONCLUSION: Upon review of l~ssible land USe designations, staff has determined a reco~nded course of action which the planning Co~ssio~ could take: ~4mtted Sports/Recreation Csercial: If the Com~ssion believes that Limited S~orta/Recreation Comercial uses are most appropriate, than s~aff should be direcUed to prepare a Resolution of Approval to the City Council for an IndUStrial Area Specific Plan Amendment. This use would be added as a conditionally pez~aitted use to Subarea 71 Indus~rial Perk of the Industrial Ares Specific Plan.

Based upon substantial evidence presented to during the above-referenced public he·ring on February 9, written and oral staff reports, together with public Coelnisston hereby specifically finds as followIs this Co22islion 1994, including testixnony, this (a) The application applies to approximate~y 14 acres of land, · t the southwest corner of Foothill Boulevard and Rochester Avenue with · frontage of ipprox~usately 1,250 feet ·long Foothill Boulevard and · depth of approximately 520 fee~ and is presently vacant except for the MAll Winery currently being used as the Victory Chapel and leasing office. .Said proper~y is currently designated as Sub·re· 7 (Zndustrial Park) of the Industrial Ares Specific Plan; and (b) The proper~y to the north of the subject site is designated as Medium Residential {8-14 dwelling units per acre) and is vacant. The property to the welt is designated Industrial Park and is vacant. The property to the east is designated Industrial Park and is developed w~th the PLANNING COMMISSI~.. RESOLUTION NO. GPA 93-02B - MASI pARTNERS Februar~ 9, 1994 Page 2 Aggazzo=l Winery. The proper~y ~o ~he sou~h is designated Industrial Perk end is developed with the Sports Complex$ and (c) The applica~ion applies to properties located within Subarea 7 of the Industrial Area Specific Plan; and (d) The General Plan designates the area south of FOOthill Boulevard between Deer and Day Creeks as par~ of the Industrial Area Specific Plan; and (e) The purpose of the Industrial Area Specific Plan is to provide a broad range of primarily industrial and business suppor~ activities; and (f) The intent of the 'Industrial Park' designation is to reserve land for light industrial uses, office and administration facilities, research and develolanent laboratories, euppor~ businesses, and cmrcial service uses; and (g) The applicant's request would add the full range of General C~rcial uses to the list of uses already permitted in Subarea 7, Industrial Park; and (h) The trade area and land use analysis did not conclusively find the need for more general cmrcial. According to the General Plan, there are currently 819 acres of vacant land designated for a wide variety of conmmrcial uses. There exists approximately 300 acres of General Commercial zoned land within 5,000 feet of the project site. The creation of additional land zoned for such uses would adversely impact the existing and already planned retail areas along FOOthill Boulevard; and (i) FOOthill BOulevard between Day and Deer Creeks is an important land use edge between the Clty's Industrial Area and co~nunity oriented non-industrial ereas to the north; and (J) The intent of Subarea 7 is to function as a transitional area between the General Industrial areas to the south and the coemrcial/Retail and Residential areas to the north of FOOthill Boulevard; and (k) This amendment does confllct with the Land Use Policies of the General Plan and will not provide for develo~-r~-*nt within the district in a manner consistent with the General Plan and with related development; and (1) This amendment does not pronote the goals and' objectives of the Land Use Element; and (m) This mmendment would not be materially injurious or detrimental to the adjacent properties and would not have a significant impact on the environment nor the surrounding properties.

S~aff recmnds issuance of · Negative Declaration. Related File : Conditional Use Permit 91-24. Brad Bullet, City Planner, presented the staff report and · reviled sheet outlining alternative land uses prepared following discussions be=wean staff and the applicant. He noted that the applicant had requested a new General Plan land use categoz7 of Recreational Cmrcial end severe1 amendments to the Industrial Area Specific Plan to allow General C~mmercial on the entire 27-acre site because of the proximity to the Ranthe Cucamonge Adult Sports Peek and Stadium. He said that staff supported the request end had re- advertised the matteE for the February 23, 1994, meeting. Co~missioner Molther asked if a staff report would be prepared with recommend changes to the text. Mr. Bullet responded It was staff's intention to provlde the recommended changes wl~h ~he agenda packet distributed in advance of the meeting. Chairman Barker opened the public hearing. William Claire, Claire Associates, 6 V~a La time, Rancho Pales .Verdes, stated he had prepared the Trade Area and Land Use Analysis. ~issioner Molther observed that the applicant was requesting that 85,000 square feet of general cmrcial be permitted. He noted that Mr. Claire's PZanning C,~mission Minutes -8- February 9, 1994 ]xecutive S,,--*-y indicated that all but 40,000 square feet of gross leasable ares has been signed up by the developer. He asked if the 40,000 square foot figure refers to the project as presently permitted or with the proposed changes. Mr. Claire said it was his understanding that the remaining 40,000 square feet refers to what is already approved or before the City for consideration. Mr. Buller stated the applicant has requested that an additional 35 percent of the proJect's square footage be permitted to have General Co~eaercial uses. co~lseloner Tolstoy asked if that meant that more than 85,000 square feet could be cmrcial. Mr. Bullet said the 85,000 square feet would be in addition to the commercial amount already permitted or conditionally permitted under current zoning. Commissioner Melcher did not understand why there was a need to approve more commercial uses when only 40,000 square feet is left for leasing. Mr. Buller replied the applicant has indicated they need the additional uses. c~missioner Melcher noted that when the auto court use was approved, t~e applicant had assured the Coa~aission that it was · viable use as approved but now the applicant wee stating that the auto court would not work unless transmission repair and engine rebuilding could be added as uses. He observed that the Co·mission·re hid specifically opposed transmission and engine repair and other repairs typically performed under Automotive/Truck Repair - Major. He felt such uses are heavier than appropriate for this location. Mr. Bullet stated he had provided copies of the previous staff report and minutes and Commissioner Melcher was correct that the applicant had indicated that use was not necessary at the time but the applicant has now stated they are losing potential tenants because of the restriction against such uses. He reported that was an amendment that would be advertised for February 23. He said staff had analyzed the auto service court built on Archibald Avenue which allows a full range of automotive repair services and staff felt that such uses would not necessarily create a negative impact with the range of land uses in the area if properly designed. ~lssioner Tollt~ liked if that meant there would not be · gas station at the location. Mr. Bullet replied thee one of the conditions of the auto court approval was that the gas station has to be constructed before the other uses and the applicant h~d not l~dicated a desire to delete the station. Commissioner Lumpp felt it would he helpful to have the applicant provide an analysis of the entire site in terms of uses which are already ~~~mitted and how that relates to the additional 35 percent gross leasable area. Mr. Claire stated he would provide a full status update for the February 23 meeting. Planning Co~aission Minutes -9- February 9, 1994 F XHtbtl' 155 C~ssioner Lumpp requested that the update be provided to staff as soon as possible for s~aff'l analysis. Chairman Barker agreed it needs to be provided prior to February 23. He commented that the project seems to vacillate constantly and not get built. He thought that was unfortunate as the project has a fantastic location. Mr. Claire said he would try to have the information to staff by the middle of the week of February 14. Mr. Bullet recommended that the matter be tabled and re-advertised as described. Coe~lssioner Tolstoy asked why the commission should not act on General Plan Amendment 93-02B. Ralph Hanson, Deputy City Attorney, stated that the applicant has now amended their application so that the matter must be re-advertised. Chairman Barker asked if the applicant would prefer that the Co~misslon vote to deny the present application. Mr. Claire requested that the matter be continued. Mar. Bullet stated that staff would prefer that the matter be tabled and re-adver~ised as described tonight with the consent of the applicant. Chairman Barker closed the public hearing. Coeeissioner Tolstoy asked if that meant Recreational Coeeercial would be recommended as a new land use category for all of Subarea 7 of the Industrial Area Specific Plan. Mr. Bullet explained that Recreational commercial would be a new category i~ the General Plan and therefore other landowners may request that designation on their proper~y. He said that it would not be restricted to Just Subarea 7, however, the intent of this application is for this proper~y only. Motion$ Moved by Melcher that the C~xmaission determine that the matter as advertised does not reflect the application and therefore consideration should be tabled and the sattar be re-advez~cised for Februst7 23, 1994, with the concurrence of the ap~licant. Ccesnissionez Tolstoy stated he had concerns about diluting the already established re~ail community and designated areas. He said he could perhaps suppor~ Recreational Ccemercial as a new designation but he did not feel electronics, furniture, and appliances should be included in such a designation because he did not feel they are Recreational Ccemer~lal. He felt Recreational C~Mmercial could include such things as a golf pro shop, sporting goods, theatre, etc. Planning Coemulssion Minutes -10- February 9, 1994 e Hle, 156 C~laloner Lumpp seconded Co~n~ssioner Melcher ' · motion to table General Plan asendment 93-02B and re-advertise it for the February 23, 1994, meeting at 5tO0 p.s.

Assess flood plain impact and consider alternatives to proposed projects located in the base flood plain. Direct staff to prepare a Final Statement of Community Development Objectives and Project Use Of Funds for future adoption by the City Council. In accordance with HUD requirements, staff has prepared the Preliminary Statement of Comunity Development Objectives and Projected Use of FUnds (Preliminary Statement) for the Co~nunity Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program for fiscal year ~994-95. In conformance with the Citizen's Participation Plan adopted by the City Council for the CDBG Program, staff requested and COnsidered suggestions from the public end City representatives regarding the use of CDBG funds. The Preliminary Statement provides staff's recommendations regarding the use of funds. The Preliminary Statement also includes numerous public policy elements and certifications which are required by law. CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT CDBG PRELIMINARY STATEMENT 1994-95 March 16, 1993 Page 2 HUD regulations require the City to hold a public hearing regarding the Preliminary Statement and to take public input regarding the use of the funds. Following the public hearing, staff will incorporate public input and any additional City Council direction into a Final Statement which will be presented to the City Council at a later date and submitted to HUD with the City's application for funds. CDBG funds are provided by the U.S- Department of Housing and Urban Development (HID) to cities and counties based on a formula which considers the cozununity's population, extent of poverty, and age of housing stock. For fiscal year 1994-95, Rancho Cucamonga is expected to receive $800,000- To be eligible for CDBG funding, activities must meet one of the two following criteria: Improve the living environments or employment opportunities of lower- income persons, either by providing benefits directly to lower-income persons or by providing ~mprovements to areas occupied primarily by lower-income persons. B. Prevent or eliminate comunity blight or blighting influences. In addition, the CDBG regulations provide that at least 70 percent of all funds must be directed to activities meeting lower-income benefit. Of the activities proposed for fiscal year 4994-95, 96 percent provide lower-income benefit. This year's grant allocation represents a 9 percent increase over last year, up from $735,000 to $800,000- The City received a total of 28 proposals of which ~5 were from outside agencies with the reminder submitted by various City departments. In evaluating proposals, first priority for funding recomendation was given to those capital projects that were in progress and on-going, such as Southwest Cucamenga, Neighborhood Center and the Lions Centerr rather than funding any new progr~m~ or activities. Funding provided toward Southwest Cucamonga will allow the completion of all the interior local streets in the target area, and will provide funding to complete the design for 9th Street. Fiscal year 4995-96 will see the completion of street improvements in the Southwest Cucamonga area, see Exhibit Funding is provided for completion of the interior rehabilitation of the Neighborhood Center as well as exterior handicap improvements- Exterior rehabilitation efforts were completed in the ~993-94 fiscal year. Additionally, funds are to be provided toward the future construction of handicap improvements at Lions Center. Design work for these improvements will be completed in the 1994-95 fiscal year and construction will begin in Fiscal Year 4995-96. 170 CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT CDBG PRELIMINARY STATEMENT 1994-95 March 16, 1993 Page 3 The allocation provided to the Home Improvement program will be adequate to fund 25 grants and 2 loans. This goal should be easily reached, and in fact, the program had obligated or encumbered all funds for fiscal year 1993-94 by the end of January 1994. With regard to public services, the proportion of funds allocated has remained the same as last year. Based on evaluations of the service proriders on a monthly and quarterly basis throughout the year, those who had a high demand and performed well have had funding increases recon~nended con~nensurate with their performance. The Fair Housing program has also received a sizable increase to accommodate new HUD requirements to incorporate discrimination testing. Generally, the percentage allocations for the various program areas have remained consistent with last year's allocations as indicated in the Exhibit "B." Refer to Exhibit "C," the Preliminary Statement, for a brief description of the activities that are recommended for funding. Exhibit "D," provides a s,,mmary description of all of the proposals received for the 1994-95 fiscal year. ALT,meeA',t-j, vas TO FLOOD PLA/lq* IMPACTS Staff has provided, along with the Preliminary Statement, an analysis of the potential impact of the above-described activities on designated flood plain zones.

FROM: CITY OF RANCHO CUCAMONGA REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY Agencymember Bill Alexander Agencymember Rex Gutierrez Jack Lain, AICP, City Manager Linda D. Daniels, Redevelopmerit Manager BY: Olen Jones, Senior Redevelopment Analyst SUBJECt: Analysis of the Proposal from Southern California Housing Development Corporation for the Acquisition of Existing Aparlanent Complexes in the City of Rancho Cucarnonga BACKGROUND Southern California Housing Development Corporation (SCHDC) has submitted a proposal to the Redevelopment Agency Housing Sub-Committee to provide funding from the Agency's Housing Set-Aside Fund for the acquisition of existing apartment complexes in the City of Rancho Cucamonga and the funding of the North Town Neighborhood Housing Revitalization program. SCHDC has requested an annual commitment of up to $3 Million from the Agency's Housing Set-Aside tax increment revenue. SCHDC will then "leverage" this revenue stream, the proceeds of which would be used to fund the acquisitions and possibly the development of the Northtown Housing Development Corporation projects. A copy of the SCHDC proposal is attached to this memorandum. The Sub-Committee requested staff prepare a "pro/con" analysis of the proposal for discussion at the meeting ANALYSIS SCI-IDC's proposal focuses on existing apartment complexes in the City of Rancho Cucamonga. By acquiring existing apartments, many of which already have a portion of the units reserved as affordable, the lengthy pro~ss of developing new units is avoided. Additionally, acquisition offers the opportunity to address some of the management problems which these projects may have experienced, by replacing an absentee, profit-motivated owner/manager with a locally based owner/manager whose primary interest is maintaining the quality and affordability of the projects. The Agency's ability to acquire existing units under Health and Safety Code Section 33413 will expire in 1997. Unless the legislature acts to extend that deadline, the Agency will not be able to acquire or assist in the acquisition of existing projects. This provision of AB 1290 was a compromise with the housing advocate groups, who felt that Agency's were not using their set- aside funds appropriately, and wanted to force the production of new units. Given this legislative deadline, using set-aside funds to acquire these existing projects, while still permitted, is a good use of funds. These projects can be acquired for a cost per unit less than the cost to construct new units. The multifamily market in the Inland Empire is still showing a surplus, resulting in depressed prices and rents. This offers an opportunity to acquire these projects at a price below their actual value. SCHDC has proven multifamily management experience; is a locally-based company; and, as a non-profit housing corporation, is more interested in maintaining the value and affordability of the projects than in maxinnizing profits. The company has demonstrated their ability to turn a l~oubled project into a successful, well-managed project. When the company acquired Rancho Verde Village, with Agency assistance, the project was approximately 80% occupied. Since acquisition, the project has been substantially rehabilitated, received a new play yard for the children, and is now 98% occupied. The proposal has the potential to impact the Northtown Housing Development Corporation's (NHDC) project negatively. SCHDC's original proposal was to assume the Agency's position as lender on the Deukmejian project; SCHDC would leverage the Agency's annual pledge to provide capital funds for the construction of the Deukmejian project. Approximately 50% of the construction cost of the Deukmejian project will be derived from Low Income HousIng. Tax Credits, allocated by the State of California. Tax Credit rules limit severely NHDC's ability to receive a tax credit allocation if other "federally subsidiT, ad" financing is used. Tax exempt bonds are dassffied as a federal subsidy for Tax Credit purpose. Thus, selling tax exempt bonds for the purpose of providing funding for the Deukmejian project would reduce drastically the amount of funding available from Tax Credits, and require a greater Agency contribution. The use of other funding sources by SCHDC would yield no appreciable financial advantage to NHDC in funding the Deukmejian project. Because of the expenditures and budget commitments from the Agency's set- aside program over the last fiscal year, there is insufficient cash-on-hand to fund SCHDC's request. Thus, to fund the acquisition program, the Agency would have to reallocate funding from some other program. NHDC has begun the development review process for the Deukmejian project, and will be submitting its Tax Credit Application in April, 1994. Deferral of this program is not recommended. However, approximately $1.6 Million has been allocated to infill development and acquisition/rehabilitation of existing houses for resale. To date, NItIX has expertdeal approximately $600,000 for those two programs. Primarily because of the amount of attention required by the Deukmejian project, these other programs have not been developed as fully as originally conceived. Given the intensity of the development program for the Deukmejian project, the Agency could consider redudng or deferring these two programs for the next two fiscal years. This would allow NHDC to complete the Deukmejian project before beginning two other major programs in the neighborhood. Additionally, approximately $5.5 Million in housing funds has been designated for the Archibald storm drain, a requirement of the Deukmejian development. The cost of this sto, m drain could be funded by obtaining a loan from a bank, secured by Agency set-aside revenues, thereby reducing the initial capital outlay required. Agency staff has talked with several local banks interested in making this type of loan in order to satisfy their Community Reinvestment Act requirements. By amortizing the storm drain costs, the cash-on-hand could then be used to assist in the acquisition of the existing projects. Because the storm drain is a capital improvement project that provides a benefit beyond development of the Deulcmejian site, it would be appropriate to consider its financing separate from the housing finance. Therefore, the Agency may consider financing the storm drain over time without violating the policy of paying cash for housing projects. This approach maintains the current policy of "pay-as-you-go" for new housing development. The Agency win not have to issue bonds, a funding mechanism rejected at the time of the adoption of the Affordable Housing Strategy. However, regardless of which option is selected, the financing package for the SCHDC program should be structured to minimize the impact on NHDC programs as much as possible. The reallocation of funding to the SCHDC program would defer the development of Agency-owned land. Currently, the Agency owns four other properties held for development of affordable housing: the Packing House, the Senior's Site (Archibald and Base Line), the Lumberyard (Rochester and Base Line), and the Regina-Ellena Winery. Staff anticipates that the development of these properties is a minimum of 5 - 7 years away. Funding of the SCHDC program will defer further their development. However, joint venture development of the properties remains a possibility. "Cleanup" legislation for AB 1290 proposes to clarify that not more than 50% of the units reserved for very low and low income households may be provided by the Agency through acquisition of existing units. However, the Agency is still required to provide units in proportion to the need for these income levels. Thus, the proposed change does not eliminate the Agency's ability to address the needs of these two income groups through acquisition of existing units. Rather, it allows the Agency to provide up to 50% of the required units through acquisition prior to 1997. Thereafter, new construction must be pursued. The Agency has assisted SCHDC in the acquisition of Rancho Verde Village. By committing to assist in the acquisition of other existing projects, the Agency will be limiting its ability to assist other competent housing Owners/managers. The Mfordable Housing Strategy identifies several "guiding principles" for the development of affordable housing which are particularly pertinent to the discussion of SCHDC's proposal. · Preserving Assisted Housing. The Strategy notes that "given the scarcity of City and other public resources for affordable housing, housing which benefits from City financial assistance should be preserved for the longest feasible time." Several of the projects which are potential candidates for acquisition by SCHDC have been financed with tax exempt multifamily housing bonds. In exchange for the lower interest rate received for this financing, the projects were required to reserve 20% of their units as affordable. Many of these projects are approaching the expiration of the restrictions, and the affordable units will be converting to market rate rents. Thus, the City/Agency will be losing affordable units which have benefited from public financing. By assisting SCHDC in the acquisition of these projectsl."the City/Agency will be preserving permanen~y a public investment. Sound Investment and Management of City Resources. The Strategy states that the Agency's housing funds should be maximized by "leveraging non- City public and private sector investments in affordable housing." SCHDC's proposal leverages the Agency's housing resources through a combination of conventional financing, bond financing and Agency investment. Public/Private Partnerships. The Strategy encourages the use of a wide variety of financing sources, but particularly "joint ventures between for- profit and non-profit housing developers." SCHDC's proposal represents the private ownership of housing with a public purpose, providing affordability to families of low and moderate income. Maximized Assistance. The Strategy sets as a financing goal that "a minimum 1:1 ratio be maintained between" Agency subsidy and non-Agency funds. In other words, for every $1 the Agency contributes towards the cost of an affordable housing project, $1 from other funding sources (federal, state, private) be obtained for the project. The proposal from SCHDC sets this same goal, with the potential for greater leverage as specific financing programs are developed. The Strategy also recommends that tax increment bonds not be used to fund the development of affordable housing, "unless current Fund balances are inadequate to carry out a particular Agency project." In practice, this policy has resulted in the Agency developing a "pay-as-you-go" policy towards housing development. However, the proposal by SCHDC does not anticipate the issuance of tax increment bonds. Instead, SCHDC may issue 501(c)(3) bonds as a non-profit corporation, The Archibald storm drain is the single largest expense currently programmed for the Agency's Housing Set-Aside Fund for the next four fiscal years. This $5.5 Million project has a greater benefit area than the Deukmejian project alone, and represents a more traditional public works capital expenditure. Additionally, installing the storm drain will allow other developments, wMch have been deferred due to the storm drain costs, to proceed. However, because the Deukmejian project will be the first development in this drainage area, it is required to install the storm drain. The Agency has chosen to fund this. capital improvement directly, rather than impose the cost on the Deukmejian project, through NHDC. It is common for the Agency to ~nanc~ such capital improvements over time by selling bonds, such as the storm drain systems related to the Day Creek Regional facilities. Because the value of this storm drain extends beyond the NHDC projects, staff believes it would be appropriate to consider financing for the construction costs. We believe that_the bank which holds title to the large, undeveloped parcel on the northwest corner of 4th and Archibald may have an interest in stTucturing a loan to the Agency for the project. Because of the nature of this project, staff feels that such a financing doesn't violate the existing policy of pay-as-you-go for housing projects. Of greatest concern, however, is the effect of including NHDC' (and, more spedfically, the Deukmejian project) in the overall financing plan proposed by SCHDC. Because of the importance of the tax credits to the financing of the Deukrnejian project, NI-H)C and the Deukmejian project should be excluded from the financing program developed by SCHDC. It may be possible to include the acquisition/rehab or inffil programs, but more research must be done with SCHDC to determine the feasibility of funding these programs through the leverage of the Agency's annual commitment. Given the sunset in 1997 of the Agency's ability to acquire existing units to satisfy its housing obligations, the depressed market values, the number-of units available, the experience and success of SCHDC locally, and the growing pressure statewide for redevelopment agencies to produce housing, SCI-IDC's proposal offers a reasonable means of achieving substantial pro$~ess in addressing housing needs in the City. CONCLUSION For these reasons, staff believes that SCHDC's proposal is worth developing further. In order to proceed, the following actions are necessary: · Agency staff must be authorized to work with SCHDC to develop financing packages for specific properties. · The Agency must authorize refundable deposits to be made as a part of the nefotiating process with owners of existing properties, as was done for the Rancho Verde Village acquisition. · The Agency must develop a general agreement with SCHEIC which commits the Agency to fund specific acquisitions ordy when acceptable terms can be developed according to approved criteria (i.e., cost per unit under $45,000). No action will be taken which jeopardizes the funding of the NFIDC Deukmejian project. Staff must be authorized to negotiate a loan for the cost of the storm drain with the bank holding title to the property at the northwest corner of 4th and Archibald. The terms and conditions of this loan shall be approved by the Agency. Following are some critical considerations for such a program smacture: 1. Agency_...'~f~ncling of these acquisitions shall be subordinate to any other Agency housixf~:!)udget requirement. Additionally, if the State were to take some action .affecting the Agency's ability to fund such a proBrain, there would be no other Agency ot City guarantee for the debt service. 2. SCHE)C shah not re~nance any project acquired with Agency assistance without Agency approval. 3. If SCHDC refinances projects acquired with Agency assistance, any re~nandng proceeds must be shared on a proportional basis with the Agency. 4. SCHDC may not use equity in projects acquired with Agency assistance to acquire other p~opertles without Agency approval. SCHE)C shall demonstrate that the withdrawal of equity would not affect the ability of the project to meet its operational and debt obligations. Agency staff shall work with SCHDC to determine a reasonable range for cost per total units and cost per affordable unit. Proposed acquisitions must meet these target prices in order to be considered for Agency funding.

Agency Requiring Assessment: City of Rancho Cucamonga Name of Proposal, if applicable: Station Rancho Cucamonga Metrolink Location of Proposal: Two parcels located at the northwest and southwest intersection of the Atchinson. Topeka and Santa Fe Rail Road Line and Millikan Avenue to be used for the Metrolink Station and landscape treatment. and the extension of Milliken Avenue from Arrow Route to Foothill Boulevard. in the City of Rancho Cucamonga in the County of San Bernardino. PROJECT DESCRIPTION The proposed project consists of the construction of a Metrolink Station in the City of Rancho Cucamonga. As indicated in Figure 1, the City is located in the southwestern portion of the County of San Bernardino. The proposed project is included in the State Transportation Improvement Program (STIP). As shown in Figure 2, the station will be located on a 10-acre site bounded by the Atchinson, Topeka and Santa Fe Railroad line on the north and Millikan Avenue on the east. Parking would initially be provided for 350 vehicles, with provision for expansion of parking to accommodate 900 vehicles. A 3-acre parcel north of the rail road line is also part of the project. This parcel would receive landscape treatment as part of station design. The proposed project would include construction of the station platform. As shown in Figures 3 and 4, the 3-acre parcel, which is bounded by rail lines, is currently vacant. As shown in Figure 5, the 10-acre parcel was previously used for agriculture. In addition, there is currently a General Dynamics facility occupying a small part of this parcel. The fadlity would be demolished as part of station construction.

X X X X 15 DISCUSSION OF ENVIRONMENTAL EVALUATION (Narrative description environmental impacts. 1. Earth No. The excavation required for construction of the project would not extend to a level which would affect a geologic substructure. Maybe. The proposed project will result in the construction of a Metrolink Station and parking lot on the 10-acre site and the construction of the extension of Milliken Avenue from Foothill Boulevard to Arrow Route. Disruption, displacement, compaction, and the overcovering of soil will therefore occur on these two project sites. In addition, the 3-acre parcel will receive landscape treatment, which will result in some movement of soils. However, given the relatively fiat nature of the project parcels and the limited scale of construction associated with the proposed project, significant disruption, displacement, compaction, or overcovering impacts are not anticipated. Maybe. According to the Master Environmental Assessment and General Plan EIR, which is heroin incorporated by reference," construction projects within the City limits will not change elevations because of the fiat terrain. The only exceptions are around Red Hill and in the northwest portions of the City? The proposed project is not located in those portions of the City. The project would involve construction of the station, parking, and the street site improvements, however, these improvements do not require significant cut, fill or landform alteration. Therefore no signfficant topographic impacts are anticipated. No. There are no known unique geologic or physical features associated with the three parcels which make up the project site. No significant impacts are therefore anticipated. 2The City of Rancho Cucamonga Master Enviwnmental Assessment and General Plan EIR, is herein incorporated by reference and is available for review at the Engineering Depa~iment of the City of Rancho Cuc~monga, located at 10500 Civic Center Drive, Rancho Cuc~monga, CA 91729. 3See page 1 of the MEter Environmental Assessment. 16 No. The proposed project will result in additional runoff from the project sites as a result of the overcovering of soil, however, the sites are included in the City's Master Drainage Study and are part of the Industrial Specific Area which has received prior environmental review.4 Therefore, no signfficant unanticipated or unmitigated impacts are anticipated to occur as a result of project construction. No. The proposed project will drain into Deer Creek Channel. The sites are included in the City's Master Drainage Study. Therefore no significant impacts are anticipated. No. Figure III-C/2 of the City's Master Environmental Assessment identifies the location of geotechnical hazards within the City. The proposed project does not fall within any of the identified hazard areas, therefore, no significant geotechnical hazard impacts are anticipated to result from project construction and operation. AIr An Air Quality Impact Analysis for the proposed project was prepared by Giroux & Associates. The complete analysis is included as Appendix "A" of the Technical Appendices for this Negative Declaration and is summarized in 2a-2c below. a. Maybe. Construction Activity Impact - Demolition of existing uses, site clearing, grading, utility excavation, and vehicle movement on unpaved surfaces will generate fugitive dust during construction that will be blown east and northeastward across Rancho Cucamonga by prevailing daytime onshore winds. The South Coast Air Quality Management Distdct (SCAQMD) has established a significance threshold of 150 pounds per day of particulate matter (PM-10) construction emissions. If 5 acres is the maximum construction disturbance on any day, the daily PM-10 emissions, in the absence of dust control, would total around 275 pounds per day. W'rr.h typical control efficiencies, daily construction PM-10 emissions would total from 70-140 pounds per day with 5 acres of disturbance per 4The Environmental Impact Report for the Industrial Specific Area is herein incorporated by reference and is available for review at the En~neering Depax huent of the City of Randno Cucamonga, located at 10500 Civic Center Drive, Rancho Cucamonga, CA 91729. 17 day, If 13 acres were simultaneously under soil disturbing construction, an enhanced level of dust control would be needed to maintain. PM-10 impacts at less than significant levels. If construction occurs in the fall or winter, when Santa Anas are prevalent, additional dust control procedures would be required on a stand-by basis to minimize dust generation. Construction activities will also generate combustion emissions from on-site heavy equipment and off-site trucks hauling dirt, concrete, wood, and other building materials. Daily construction emissions are anticipated to be approximately: 6 pounds per day (ppd) of Reactive Organic Gases (ROG); 19 ppd of Carbon Monoxide (CO); 86 ppd of Nitrogen Oxides (NOX); 3 ppd of Total Suspended Particulates ('I'SP); and 6 ppd of Sulfur Dioxide (SOX). This emissions are below SCAQMD thresholds of significance. Evaporative emissions from asphalt used to pave the parking lot and roadway and parking lot painting/striping will result in the emission of volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Mitigation Measures: An aggressive dust control program shall be implemented as required by local ordinance and the Air Quality Management District's (AQMD's) rules and Regulations (rule 403) during parking lot preparation. · Soil disturbance (clearing, grading, excavation) shall be terminated when winds exceed 25 miles per hour. Dally road sweeping/washing shall be performed at the construction access point off Milliken Avenue during construction to prevent dirt spillage from being pulverized by passing cars and then lofted into the air. Construction vehicles shall be routed so as to minimize conflicts with existing traffic and prevent construction traffic queuing near the project site during construction. Con",.,truction material, such ac oc, phalt -,,hall bo rocoivod on site bohvcon tho hours of 0 a.m. and 8 p.m. to minimizo truck intorforonco with oommutor traffic. Project construction shall comply with SCAQMD Rule 1108 and/or rule 1108a in order to minimize the amount of VOCs created by site/roadway paving. 18 With implementation of the mitigation measures listed above, project construction impacts are not anticipated to be significant. Vehicular Emission Impacts - Project implementation will cause care to drive to the train station that would otherwise use different routes of travel for home to work commuting. The project will intercept cars that would have been driven a much longer distance. Vehicle Miles Traveled (VMT) reduction is a prime objective of the Air Quality Management Plan (AQMP) and is therefore, considered an air quality benefit of this project. Benefits from reduced automobile travel also include a small incremental benefit for all non-train users resulting from the fact that 300 (Phase I) or 900 (Buildout) cars would be off the freeway. That will reduce congestion by some small amount. Emission reduction from riders will be offsst by increased fuel used by train engines hauling the increased passenger load. When all these factors are accounted for, it is anticipated that the proposed project will result in a reduction in ROG emissions of 12 ppd with Phase 1 and 16 ppd for Phase 2; a reduction in CO emissions of 230 ppd with Phase I and 476 ppd for Phase 2; and an increase in NOX emissions of 6 ppd with Phase I and 34 ppd for Phase 2. Neither the increase or decrease in emissions exceed SCAQMD thresholds of signfficance. In addition, CO "hot spot" emissions, calculated at 0.4 parts per million (ppm) for Phase 1 and 0.7 for Phase 2 are below SCAQMD thresholds of significance. Although there are no unacceptable air quality impacts from the proposed project as presently conceived, there are, nevertheless, a number of "standard" mitigation measures that would further minimize any potential for unacceptable air quality impacts: Mitigation Measures: The City shall investigate and incorporate those of the following measures deemed feasible into project design and operation: 1) provision of secure bicycle storage to encourage bike access by ddere; 2) integration of transit or paratransit schedules along Milliken Avenue with train schedules to allow for bus access by ridere; 3) charging for single passenger parking lot use; 4) provision of free parking for vehicles arriving with two or more passengere; and 5) installation of a bulletin board with an 19 area map to encourage ridesharing among train riders living in close proximity. W'rth implementation of the mitigation measures detailed above, no significant project air quality impacts are anticipated. Maybe. Project construction may generate short-term objectionable odors associated with the paving and stripping of the roadway and parking lot. Due to the project's location, which is not in close proximity to large numbers of persons who would smell these odors, no significant project impacts are anticipated. c. No. The proposed project does not include any components that would substantially alter air movement, moisture, temperature, or create climate changes. Water No. The proposed project will drain into Deer Creek Channel. The sites are included in the City's Master Drainage Study. Therefore no signfficant impacts are anticipated. Maybe. The proposed project will result in increase runoff as a result of the paving of the roadway and parking lot. Street plans call for water to be collected in a storm drain and then "burped" into Milliken Avenue. Given these drainage plans, the large amount of surrounding uncovered soil, and the project site's inclusion in the Master Drainage Study and the Industrial Specffic Plan, no significant previously unanticipated impacts are expected to result from project construction and operation. No. The project sites are included in the Industrial Specific Plan and Master Drainage Study. Maybe. The proposed project may result in additional runoff to Deer Creek and subsequently the Santa Ana watershed, however, given the small scale of the proposed project, the change in the amount of water is not anticipated to be signfficant. No. As indicated in the Clty's Master Environmental Assessment (page 44), increased runoff from urban land uses will effect the quality of surface waters. However, the impacts associated with stormwater runoff are dispersed throughout the entire river basin and the City only contributes an incremental impact to the basin. City-wide impacts were judged insignfficant in the EIR for the General Plan. Therefore project impacts are not anticipated to be signfficant. No. The proposed project will not result in significant excavation, therefore no alteration or intercaption of aquifers or other groundwater associated features is anticipated to result from the proposed project. No. The proposed project will result in a minor reduction in the amount of water percolating into the groundwater table and would have a limited effect on ground water quality. Due to the small scale of the project, no significant impacts are anticipated. Impacts associated with General Plan development were addressed in the Master Environmental Assessment and EIR for the General Plan. No. Project water use will be minimal and will primarily be associated with landscape maintenance on the 3-acre site. Therefore, no significant impacts are anticipated. No. Figure Ill-G/2 of the City's Master Environmental Assessment identifies flood hazard areas within the City. The proposed project is not located in any of those areas, therefore, no significant impacts are anticipated. Plant Life A Biological Assessment of the three project sites was prepared for the project by Pacffic Southwest Biological Services, Inc. It is included in the Technical Appendices as Appendix "B" and is summarized in 4a-4d and 5a-5d below: No. As indicated in the Biological Assessment, all three parcels are currently devoid of native vegetation. The site of the Milliken Avenue extension is currently an untended vineyard. The 3-acre site is currently an extremely weedy mix of primarily non-native annuals, and is of minimal biological utility. The 10-acre site consists of a tended vineyard, an existing General Dynamics facility, some exotic plantings, and limited disturbed lands next to the railroad tracks. Therefore no significant impacts are anticipated. No. As indicated in the Biological Assessment, all three parcels are currently devoid of native vegetation. Therefore no signfficant impacts are anticipated. 21 No. As indicated in the Biological Assessment, all three parcels are currently devoid of native vegetation. Therefore no significant impacts are anticipated. No. The proposed project will result in a reduction in the acreage of vineyards in the area as a result of the elimination of vineyard use on the project sites. However, this reduction is not considered signfficant on a regional basis. 5. Animal Life A Biological Assessment of the three project sites was prepared for the project by Pacific Southwest Biological Services, Inc. It is included in the Technical Appendices as Appendix "B" and is summarized in 4a-4d above and 5a-5d below: Maybe. Limited raptor foraging habitat is present within the fields included as pan of the project parcels as evidenced by the sighting of a migrant Sharp-shinned Hawk perched on a utility pole, a foraging Northern Harder, and the carcass of a recently killed Medin found in the Milliken Avenue/Arrow Route vineyard. No evidence of the presence of Burrowing Owls was noted within the study parcels. Significant use of these parcels by other non-raptorial sensitive birds is not expected. Black-tailed Jackrabbits are present in these fields; however, no other regionally sensitive mammals, reptiles, or amphibians are expected within the study areas. Habitat is considered too degraded to support large populations of sensitive reptiles. While habitat may have formerly supported the Delhi Sands Flower-loving Fly, the substantial degradation of appropriate sandy habitat followed by extensive vineyard plantings suggests that this site may no longer be suitable for use by this species. Therefore, no significant impacts on diversity are anticipated. b. No. See explanation under 5a above. No. The proposed project will not result in the introduction of any animal species. d. No. See explanation under 5a above. 6. Noise Maybe. The proposed project will result in additional traffic in the vicinity of the proposed project. However, given the lack of sensitive receptors, no significant impacts are anticipated. In addition, it should be noted that the proposed project is within the Industrial Specific Plan. Increased noise levels within the Plan area have been anticipated and previously analyzed in the City's Master Environmental Assessment and General Plan EIR and as part of the evaluation of the Plan. b. No. See explanation under 6a above. LIght and Glare Maybe. The proposed project will result in additional vehicular travel 'along Milliken Avenue and roadways in the project vicinity, and thus associated headlight illumination in the area. In addition, after dark station operations will result in additional illumination. However, this additional illumination is not anticipated to significantly impact adjacent land uses in the project vicinity, given the sparse development and setbacks of existing development in the vicinity of the proposed project. Land Use Maybe. The station site is designated ISP Sub-area 10, General Industrial. The station use is conditionally permitted (ISP, page 111-5) under the land use designations contained in the General Plan and ISP. The extension of Milliken Avenue is included in the City's General Plan. The proposed project is supportive of planned uses in the vicinity and would not conflict with existing or planned uses. If the station were to trigger a change in surrounding uses, which would require amendment of the General Plan and ISP, the proposed change would be subject to environmental review pdor to approval. Therefore, no significant adverse impacts are anticipated to result from the proposed project. Natural Resources No. The proposed project may rasuit in some reduction in fuel use associated with vehicular travel and commuting behavior in the region. Natural resources will be used during project construction. However, given the small scale of the project, no signfficant natural resource impacts are anticipated. No. Natural resources will be used dudng project construction. However, given the small scale of the project, no significant natural resource impacts are anticipated. 10. Risk of Upset No. The rail line is currently used for Metrolink operations. The proposed project would result in the construction of a stop at the project location. However, it is not anticipated that the addition of a stop will significantly increase the probability of a train related accident. The proposed project will alter travel patterns in the project vicinity. However, it is not anticipated that this will significantly increase the likelihood of accidents involving vehicles carrying hazardous or explosive materials. Thus, no significant impacts are anticipated to result from the project. No. The proposed project will increase mobility in the area through the construction of the Milliken Avenue connection. This would aide emergency response to a limited degree. Thus, the proposed project is not anticipated to result in a significant impact on emergency operations. 11. Popul~ion Maybe. The proposed project will enhance regional mobility. This may affect the distribution of population. However, given the scale of the proposed project, no signfficant population related impacts am anticipated. 12. Housing No. No significant population impacts are anticipated, thus no significant housing impacts are anticipated to result from the proposed project. 13. Transportation/Circulation Yes. The proposed project will result in additional vehicular traffic in the vicinity of the proposed project. The City's Traffic Engineer has prepared an analysis of proposed traffic impacts in the vicinity of the proposed project. As indicated in that analysis: the station will be constructed in two phases. The first phase to open in 1994 or early 1995, will have all significant station facilities and about 300 parking spaces. The final phase will add parking for a total of over 900 spaces. Phase I - Tdp generation is not available in the Institute of Traffic Engineers (ITE) Source Book. It is assumed to be one trip end for each parking space and two trip ends for each bus and drop-off passenger, assumed to be 30 percent of the parked passengers. This produces a total of 500 trip ends during each of the a.m. and p.m. peak periods. Each peak period is 2 hours long for this station, giving 250 trips for each of 2 hours in the a.m. and p.m., a total of 4 hours. No additional trips for adjacent commercial or office uses are assumed, as the property will not be developed as part of the project. Previous calculations have indicated an expected ADT on Milliken Avenue of 20,000 upon completion of the segment of Milliken Avenue between Arrow Route and Foothill Boulevard. W'~th the extension of Milliken, traffic signals are warranted at the following locations: 7th Street and Milliken Avenue; Jersey Boulevard and Milliken Avenue; and, Arrow Route and Milliken Avenue. Mitigation Measures: The City shall install traffic signals at the following 'locations pdor to the opening of the Metrolink Station: 7th Street and Milliken Avenue; Jersey Boulevard and Milliken Avenue; and Arrow Route and Milliken Avenue. The traffic analysis conducted for the proposed project assumed office park development of the 10-acre parcel. This constituted the "worst case," maximum use scenario. This use, at a FAR of 0.35 and a trip generation rate of 2.4 per 1,000 square feet, would produce about 358 trips in a morning or evening peak I hour. The Phase I station impacts will be less than an equivalent ISP use and are therefore anticipated to not be signfficant. Final Phase - This phase, the completion of the station, will produce 900 + 300 * 2 or 1,500 trip ends during the aom. and p.m. peak periods. This phase includes some trips from the adjacent commercial parcels, but they are considered part of the overall total. Each of the four peak hours in this case would have 750 trips. This is twice the trip generation of the equivalent ISP land use. It is, however, only 7 percent more than the peak hour traffic expected on 7th Street at Milliken Avenue at build-out of the entire surrounding area under the previous plan. The level of ADT would result in significant impacts at the following intersections: Arrow Route/Milliken Avenue and 6th Street/Milliken Avenue intersections. 25 Train riders arriving from other areas via Route 15 are expected and will be part of the parking lot users. The number is impossible to predict now, so this traffic's impact on the Milliken Avenue/6th Street intersection is unknown. It is also uncertain whether the Route 15/6th Street interchange will be built by 2010. It certainly will not be in place at initial full station operation. The completion of Miiliken Avenue between Arrow Route and Foothill Boulevard is expected to precede the opening of the station. MItigation Measures: The City shall install right-turn lanes and dual left-turn lanes on all legs of the Arrow Route/Milliken Avenue and 6th Street/Milliken Avenue intersections, except for the westbound leg of 6th Street/Milliken Avenue prior to completion of the second phase of parking lot construction. The City shall ensure that bus service is provided to the residential areas of Rancho Cucemonga by the year 2010. W'~h implementation of the mitigation measures listed above, no significant traffic impacts are anticipated to occur. Regional System The proposed project will remove automobile trips from the regional transportation system. This is a significant positive impact of the proposed project. The proposed project could trigger an amendment to the transit concept plan of the circulation element in order to add the project as a transportation transfer node and to acknowledge the Atchinson, Topeka and Santa Fe Railroad as a regional transit route. This would not trigger amendment of the Land Use Element of the General Plan. Yes. The proposed project will generate a demand for additional parking. However, the station design includes provision for 300 parking spaces at the completion of Phase I and a total of 900 spaces at the completion of Phase II. The project is therefore anticipated to include sufficient parking, and thus, no significant parking impacts are anticipated. Maybe. See item 13a above. With implementation of the mitigation measures listed under 13a above, no significant impacts are anticipated. Yes. The proposed project includes the closure of a gap in Milliken Avenue which will result in an alteration of the present patterns of circulation and movement (see 13a above). In addition, the proposed project will result in a diversion of commuters from automobiles to rail travel. As described in 13a above this will reduce congestion on the regional system, which is a positive impact of the proposed project. Yes. The proposed project would provide for a Metrolink stop in the City of Rancho Cucamonga. Metrolink service is currently provided along the rail alignment. Provision of the additional stop is anticipated to increase ridership on the Matrolink system, which would be a positive effect of the proposed project. The addition of the stop is not anticipated to disrupt rail traffic. Maybe. The proposed project may be accessed by cars, buses, bicyclists, or pedestrians from passenger drop-off. The proposed station and parking will be designed in such a way as to reduce the potential for traffic hazards to levels which are judged to be less than signfficant by the City's traffic engineer. Public Services No. Given the scale of the proposed project and its proximity to an existing fire station, no significant impacts are anticipated. Maybe. The proposed project may result in the need for additional policing in the project vicinity due to the increased potential for car theft and parking violations associated with the project. However, the increased demand for services is not anticipated to be significant, given the scale of the proposed project. Development of the project sites, in accordance with the Industrial Spedtic Plan would also result in an increased demand for police services in the area, which has previously been analyzed. No. It is not anticipated that the proposed project will have a significant impact on housing demand in the City. Therefore, no significant school impacts are antidpated. 15. No. The proposed project is not located in proximity to any existing or planned City parks. It would not impact existing recreational facilities in the project vicinity. It would provide limited increased access to regional recreational facilities. Thus, the proposed project is not anticipated to significantly impact parks or recreational facilities. Maybe. The proposed project includes the extension of Milliken Avenue which will result in the need for additional roadway maintenance. However, this extension was included in the City's General Plan and has thus received prior environmental analysis in the Master Environmental Assessment and General Plan EIR. The proposed project will result in the diversion of a limited amount of vehicular traffic from car to rail, and thus a limited reduction in regional road maintenance requirements. The proposed project will also result in the creation of an additional public facility requiring maintenance. However, given the scale of the proposed project and the fact that it is included in the STIP, the construction and operation of the facility is not anticipated to result in a significant net impact on maintenance on requirements. No. No additional public service impacts are currently anticipated. Energy No. The proposed project will result in a limited change in commuting behavior from automobiles to rail. The net energy impact is not anticipated to be negative or significant. b. No. See 15a above. Utilities and Service Systems No. The proposed project is not anticipated to result in the need for substantial alteration in the provision of this utility. No. The proposed project is not anticipated to result in the need for substantial alteration in the provision of this utility. No. The proposed project is not anticipated to result in the need for substantial alteration in the provision of this utility. The City has estimated the project's water use at 5,200 gal/day/acre. 28 No. The proposed project is not anticipated to result in the need for substantial alteration in the provision of this utility. Maybe. A National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit is needed and will be obtained by filling a "Notice of Intent" for this project. W"rth compliance with NPDES requirements, no significant impacts are anticipated. Mitigation Measures: · An NPDES permit for the proposed project shall be obtained prior to project operation. Maybe. The proposed project will result in a need for solid waste collection and liter removal on the project site. With provision of waste receptacles and collection and removal services, no significant impacts are anticipated to result from the proposed project. Mitigation Measures: The City shall conveniently locate waste receptacle at the station and shall provide for waste collection and removal sen/ices prior to station operations. 17. Human Health Maybe. The proposed project may result in the increased exposure of people to train related hazards. Increased hazards would be associated with poor platform design, rather than the potential for car/train interactions, sinca the rail line is grade separated from Milliken Avenue. Proper station and platform design, in accordance with existing design standards, would reduce risks to a level which is deemed non-signfficant. MItigation Measure: As part of project design review, the City shall ensure that the station and platform design is consistent with existing safety and design standards and practices. Maybe. A Phase 1 Hazardous Matedal Assessment for the proposed project was conducted by Bing Yen & Associates (BYA) in order to determine the potential for the proposed project to result in the exposure of people to hazardous materials. The Assessment is included as Appendix "D" of the Technical Appendices for this Negative Declaration and is summarized below: The three project parcels are located in an industrial/commercial area with inherent potential for contamination. A review of available local, state, and federal regulatory agency records indicates that approximately 50 sites which could potentially impact the subject sites are located within a 1-mile radius from the study area. This includes at least 12 underground storage tank (UTS) sites (with a total of over 30 UTSs), 30 RCRA-regulated manufacturing and other industrial facilities, and 12 potential hazardous waste sites listed by CAL EPA on the CAL-SITES list. The available data and information indicates that the probability of extensive soil or groundwater contamination to exist at the project sites due to off-site sources is relatively low. No leaking UTSs are known to exist within a 1-mile radius. No violations have been reported for the numerous RCRA facilities located within a 1-mile radius. Of the 12 CALSITES located within 1 mile, 10 are listed by the CAL EPA as needing no further actions. The two exceptions are: 1) Nathan S. Colen and Sons, Inc., located at 8866 Vincent; and 2) and Foseco, Inc., located at 7th Street. The sites are listed as posing a medium and low public health or environmental health dsk, respectively. The concern of possible contact with hazardous contaminants is directed more to the possible exposure and disposal of such contaminants during grading and construction operations. Opportunities for possible exposure to the public after construction of the Matrolink Station and the completion of the Milliken Avenue extension are minimal. However, based on the results of BYA's investigation and the potential for contamination to exist at each of the three sites, BYA recommends that a focussed sampling and analysis program be performed to screen soil samples to ensure that there is no potential for exposure to hazardous materials dudrig project construction. The historical and current use of the three sites indicates that there is a possibility of soil contamination from on-site sources at each of the sites. The 10-acre Metrolink site, currently occupied by an industrial facility, has and previously had hazardous materials stored and hazardous wastes generated on-site. The existing facility is regulated as a small quarrdty generator of hazardous waste under the provisions of RCRA. No RCRA violations have been reported at this site. In addition, this site was used for agricultural purposes prior to about the 1980s. The presence of the main railroad track and the spur to the north on the 3-acre site, dated from before 1933. During BYA's visual reconnaissance of this site, surficial staining was observed on the ground near the railroad tracks and in areas near the spur. The Milliken extension site has been used for agricultural purposes from before 1933 to the present. Agricultural chemicals (e.g. pesticides and herbicicles) have potentially been utilized at this site for more than 60 years. This could include chemicals which are currently banned, such as DDT. Mitigation Measures: In accordance with the recommendations of the Phase 1 Assessment, the City shall arrange for sampling along the tracks and stained areas of the 3-acre parcel to evaluate the potential presence of petroleum hydrocarbons and PCBs and for composite sampling of near surface soils (0 to 1 feet deep) on both the 3-acFe site and the Milliken Avenue extension site to test for agricultural chemicals pdor to the start of project construction. Should the sampling result in the identification of hazardous materials on the project site, the City shall arrange for the appropriate remediation, in accordance with the recommendations of the hazardous materials environmental consultant, pdor to the start of project construction. 18. Aesthetics No. The project sites are currently occupied by an industrial facility, vineyards, and a vacant triangular parcel of land between two railroad spurs. The proposed project would improve aesthetics in the vicinity of the project site. The extension of Milliken Avenue will not signfficantly impact views in that vidnity. 19. Recreation No. The proposed project will not directly impact any recreational facilities. 31 20. Cultural Resources A Historic Property Survey Report (HPSR) which complies with Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act (36 CFR part 800) has been prepared for the proposed project by Archeological Associates. The complete text of the report is included as Appendix "C" of the Technical Appendices for this Initial Study/Negative Declaration. According to that report: portions of one National Register Eligible Property (NHRP-E- OHP-3926) and one historic site (CA-SBr-6847H) are recorded as present within the "Area of Potential Effect" (APE) of the proposed project. The National Register Eligible property comprises Foothill Boulevard (aka. National Old Trails Highway-Rome 66) located at the northern terminus of the APE. The historic site consists of a section of Santa Fe railway known previously as the "Kite Route" which transects the APE from east to west, just north of the General Dynamics Facility adjacent to the dirt alignment of 8th Street. Both of these linear resources have been previously recorded. It is not anticipated that the proposed project will adversely impact Foothill Boulevard and that the subject section of the Santa Fe "ffita Route" is not eligible for inclusion in the National Register. No structures over 45 years of age am located within the APE, nor were any archaeological sites discovered as a result of the field survey. Thus, it is anticipated that the proposed project will have no adverse effects pursuant to the provisions of Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act. b. No. See 20a above. c. No. See 20a above. No. There are no known existing religious or sacred uses within the project area. 32 V. ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION On the basis of this initial evaluation: I find that the proposed project COULD NOT have a significant effect on the environment, and a NEGATIVE DECLARATION will be prepared. I find that although the proposed project could have a signfficant effect on the environment, there will not be a significant effect in this case because the mitigation measures described on attached sheets have been added to the project. A NEGATIVE DECLARATION WILL BE PREPARED. I find the proposed project MAY have a signfficant effect on the environment, and an ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT is required.

COMMENTS RECEIVED ON THE NEGATIVE DECLARATION AND INITIAL ENVIRONMENTAL STUDY, AGENCY RESPONSES, STAFF INITIATED CHANGES, AND FINDINGS OF THE PHASE II HAZARDOUS MATERIALS ASSESSMENT Comments and Responses The Negative Declaration was circulated for 30-day public review. The comment pedod closed on March 7, 1994. One comment letter was received. That letter is attached. It is from the City of Ontario. Responses to the Comments am presented below: Letter 1. Richard Dinkelman, Senior Supervising Civil Engineer, City of Ontario, March 7, 1994. The extension of Milliken Avenue from Arrow Route to Foothill Boulevard will increase traffic on Milliken Avenue to about 20,000 daily trips from the present 7,000. All of the increase will come from traffic diverted from other north/south streets, primarily Haven Avenue. Traffic volume on Haven Avenue will decrease by a similar amount. Some decrease will occur on Rochester Avenue and a smaller amount on Archibald Avenue. The estimate of 20,000 ADT on Milliken Avenue is for the new section to be built. Some of this increase will be diverted to the Metrolink Station north of 6th Street. It is estimated from the Metrolink traffic study that this diversion will be about 1,000 trips per day. While this is not a large part of the daily increase in Milliken Avenue traffic, the entire 1,000 tdps will be diverted from the morning and afternoon peak hours. The completion of Milliken Avenue is consistent with Rancho Cucamonga's General Plan circulation element and was therefore analyzed in the Master Environmental Assessment and General Plan EIR, incorporated in the Negative Declaration by reference. In keeping with this planning for Mitliken Avenue, Rancho Cucamonga will install traffic signals at three intersections prior to the opening of the Metrolink station (7th Street and Milliken Avenue, Jersey Boulevard and Milliken Avenue), as indicated in the Mitigation Monitoring Program for the project. F ONTARIO 303 EAST "B" STREET, CIVIC CENTER ~ ONTARIO CALIFORNIA - 9. 5 ~ Vf'7 r~ ( 986-1151 ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT CiTY OF RANCH0 CUCA~NCA March 7, 1994 Mr. Mike Olivier City of Rancho Cucamonga Community Development - Engineering Division 10500 Civic Center Dr. Rancho Cucamonga, CA 91729 SUBJECT: ENVIRONMENTAL S~uuY AND NEGATIVE DECLARATION - MILLIKEN PROJECTS Dear Mike: The City of Ontario Engineering Department has reviewed the subject Environmental Study and Negative Declaration for the three City projects proposed along Milliken Avenue in the City of Rancho Cucamonga. Regarding the Metrolink Commuter Rail Station, the City of Ontario supports the addition .of stations to increase ridership of Metrolink. We agree that increasing the use of alternate means of transportation does have benefit to the freeway system and air quality. Regarding the extension o[ Milliken Avenue from Arrow Highway to Foothill Boulevard the City of Ontario does have several concerns. We agree that it is necessary for the citizens of Rancho Cucamonga to have access to the Metrolink Station, however, the traffic impact on the streets of Ontario and the interchange of Milliken Avenue and the 1-10 freeway have noC been addressed. The volume of traffic on Milliken Avenue south of 4th Street will triple. The two four-way stop intersections of Milliken Avenue at 4th Street and Milliken aC Inland Empire Boulevard will be impacted. The exisCing interchange of Milliken Avenue and the 1-10 freeway experiences level of services of "F" several times a day now. This increase in traffic will keep the interchange at a LOS of "F" for extended periods of time. The City of Ontario's Redevelopment Agency has provided funds for the design of a new interchange but no funds are presently available for the construction of the new interchange. The impacts of your project on the Milliken Avenue Interchange need to be addressed. Mr. Mike Olivier March 7, 1994 Milliken Projects Page 2 If there are any questions correspondence, please call Engineer at (909) 391-2540. regarding the contents of this Stephen Rogers, Associate Civil Sincerely, LeROY D. BX~TDMR Richard Dinkelman, P.E. Senior Supervising Civil Engineer LDB:SWR:RD:dak MILLIKEN. SWR/LAND 41 In addition, fie City is prepared to fund its share of a signal at 4th Street whenever matching money is available in Ontario and the signal is warranted by additional development in the area. In a similar way, planning in Ontario has included a traffic signal at Inland Empire Boulevard and Milliken Avenue and an expanded interchange at Route 10. These improvements are expected to happen before or at the same time as any significant development takes place in the area. Therefore, no significant impacts are anticipated to result from the construction and operation of the Metrolink Station. Impacts associated with the extension of Milliken Avenue have received prior environmental analysis and clearance as part of the review of the City's General Plan. Staff Initiated Changes Based on the amount of traffic anticipated in the vicinity of the proposed project, the following mitigation included under 2a - Air, has been deleted, since truck interference with commuter traffic is anticipated to be limited: Construction materials, such as asphalt shall be received on-site between the hours of 9 a.m. and 3 p.m. to minimize truck interference with commuter traffic. 'Rle deletion has been indicated with a strikeout in main text and the measure has not been included in the Mitigation Monitoring Program. Rndings of the Phase II Hazardous Materials Assessment The Negative Declaration and Mitigation Monitoring Program for the proposed project includes the following mitigation: MItigation Measure: e In accordance with the recommendations of the Phase 1 Assessment, the City shall arrange for sampling along the tracks and stained areas of the 3-acre parcel to evaluate the potential presence of petroleum hydrocarbons and PCBs and for composite sampling of near surface soils (0 to 1 feet deep) on both the 3-acre site and the Milliken Avenue extension site to test for agricultural chemicals prior to the start of project con~uction. Should the sampling result in the identification of hazardous metedais on the project site, the City shall arrange for the appropriate remediatjon, in accordance with the recommendations of the hazardous metedais environmental consultant, prior to the start of project construction. 42 This testing has now been completed. A supplemental report containing the findings of the testing has been added to Appendix D of the Technical Appendices for the Negative Declaration. That report indicated the following: Results of the analysis indicate that soil samples contained non-detectable concentrations of Total Petroleum Hydrocarbons ('I'PH) on the 3-acre site and low concentrations of the pesticides DDE and DDT on both the 3-acre site and the Milliken Avenue extension site. All other constituents of the Organochlorine Pesticides and PCB's tested for, were below detection limits. Concentrations of less than 1 part per million (ppm) DDE and DDT are considered to be below the hazardous level (as per Heath and Safety code Title 22.CCR, Article 3, section 66261.24, regarding toxicity). The highest additive concentration for DDE and DDT in one sample was 0.043 ppm, which is below the h-7-rdOus level. Both DDE and DDT appear on the Governors List which, in accordance with Proposition 65, requires that the public be warned concerning any possible carcinogens and reproductive toxins that they might come in direct contact with. However, according to the California Environmental Protection Agency, all government entities, including city government, are exempt from the requirements of Proposition 65. The only stipulation is that any government employee seeing an immediate threat to public health is required to report it to the appropriate authorities. The concentrations of organochlodne pestiddes on the sites do not indicate a threat to public health and do not warrant performance of a health dsk assessment. However, the potential presence of low concentrations of pesticides in the soil should be considered if excess soil from the proposed construction is to be disposed off-site. Therefore, as indicated in the Mffigation Monitoring Program, the mitigation requirement has been completed. ~OLDEH.DDS IRWIN B.GOLDEN, DDS GRRGORY 8. C01,DEN.

Golden and Mary Anne Golden requesting consideration to modify a condition of approval for Tentative Parcel Map 12877, to be presented by Golden at Public Hearing, March 16, 1994. Council members: Because of the lengffiy history of this request for Parcel Subdivision and out of respect for your time, I shall try to be brief. My wife, Mary Anne and I are here to ask you to do what seems fight to us and to our family and Mends, some of whom arc here to support this request. As Mr. Kobbins has pointed out, in detail, the underground improvements we completed in 1986 were done at the direction of the City in accordance with Underground Resolution 86-77 which was in effect at that time. The only change in wording when that Resolution was revised a year later by Resolution No. 87-96 relates to removing existing poles on the subject property. That is a reasonable request and we have accepted it as a condition of final approval, along with street improvements on Hillside. We request that you relieve us of the burden of underground construction west of our property and on the public street, Via El Dorado, for a distance of 229 feet to the next utility pole. It is clear to our neighbors, when presented with this possibility, that it will add nothing nscful or esthetic to the appearance of the street. To the contrary, it will impose guy wires which are now conspicuous by their absence, cause the usual annoyances and disruption associated with street construction, and leave an undesirable patch in the paving. To be more direct, the neighbors don't want the hassic, disruption and u~lincss of guy wires and street paving with no visible benefit now or in the foreseeable future. Granting this request would bc in accordance with conditions stated in Underground Resolution No. 87-96, now in effect on s~veral counts. 1. We are enti~ed to an exemption from the Underground Resolution Para. 7 (g) because we are only creating one additional lot and the overhead wires which extend west on El Dorado 700 feet from our property to Carnelian are not likely to be removed in the forsecable future. El Dorado is now fully developed. 2. We have been relieved of responsibility for moving the pole in question in Para. 5, Co) by the interpretation given this wording at the time of our previous subdivision when we were directed to place the pole where it is now located. 3. The Underground Resolution provides for w~ver of all undergrounding in appropriate cases and this is an appropriate case because (a), we are not developers, Co), this is a small lot split which will have zero impact, and (c), the undergrounding on El Dorado Would not benefit anyone. The neighbors most affected are here to say so. To require the extra undergrounding on El Dorado would make this project prohibitively expensive ($45,000.00 for underground construction), and there will be no new home site, no new homeowner, no expanded tax base. This amount of undergrounding cost simply cannot be recovered on the sale of one lot in a depressed real estate market. All of the City's time and expensc will result in no progress. My wife and I respcctfully request, with thc strong support of our neighbors, that you resolve thi.~ matter so that thc power pole now well hidden by the adjacent 'olive trcc an(fl/acated on the city owned parkway be ruled exempt from removal as provided for in ~Jnderground Resolution No. 87-96, and that we do the undergrounding as required on our property and on Hillside.

INTRODUCTION A. PtrltPOSE AND INTENT It is the purpose and the intent of this document to briefly summarize the overall considerations for chanSing certain areas of the Foothill Boulevard Corridor from Staff of the Ranclio Cucamonga Planning Department has requested Claire AsSociates to amplify the approach and implications of the gmaeral reconsideration of commercial use and zonix~ along Foothill Boulevard in the City. The focus of this document will be to elaborate on a broader scale using a variety of sours to ~enerate specific ba&~ound information for the consideration of creation of a comnmr,.~m! corridor along Foothffi Boulevard between the Project Site at the Southwest comer of Rochester and Foothill Bottleyard easterly to the existing COmmerCial land uses shown on the Gensral Plan of Land Use along Foothil! Boulsvsrd. B. CONCLUSION8 1. Trade ~ea potent~nia, We conclude tha~ F_,ffeettve Bu3dng Income: The potentials run up over the nut 20 year~ to over 3 Billion per year. The Project Site and proposed 2eneral plan amendment area is surrounded by households with 2 billion don~s of effective buying income of which over ~ or the retail trade potential and 80~ of effective buyin_~ income is bein~ spent outside the City with rest~tant sales tax losses and fiscal impact. The potential exists over the next few years, to recapture a portion of the retsfi sale 'leakage" now being experienced. Sales Petmnsml. There exists suffident trade area potential and demand to ~i!~ sm~ort 100.000 s~,a_,'e feet of sub-r~ion and r~gion-servin~ uses that are Ilot msj~lr Jelasral merchandise department stores, food or drug stores at the Project Sits and the aFea easteFt7 alon2 Foothill Boulevard to Dry Creek. The Mxsi Commerce Center should benefit from "ao~nmerafion" of commerded land uses and its prOx~mity tO the 1-15 Freeway. the fixture Victoria Gardens and the emerSin~ commercial centers at that location. URA has estimamt th~,t a regional shopping center creates demand for additional, ancillary region-sewing retail space which approaches 1.5 to 2.0 times the gross loamable area of the center itmtf. This translates into 800,000 -1,200,000 feet of additional OLA which could be supported in the are by Trade Are build- out in 20 years. An important caveat of this factor is that ths attributes of the sites must be excellent. 2, Phvsieal a,qi Locationat Attributes We conclude that: Loeation: The Project Site and the frontage easterly to Dry Creek is superbly lo~l~l at a major intersection of the main commercial corridor of the City of Rancho Cucamonga and its neighbors within one quarter mile of the 1-15 Freeway Interchange. See Figure 1. Exposure: The site has excellent exposure to the Sports Complex and Stadium and pmudn_~ traffic on Foothill Boulevard. As the area develops, the exposure will increase as the traffic volumes increase. The site is visible form the elevated 1-15 Freeway. Development Epicenter. The Project Site is located in the middle of the next insJot waves of commercial and residential development in eastern Rancho Cucamonga and Fontan~ It is one quarter mile west of the future Victoria Gardens Regional Shopping Center. o Topography and Soils: Site is flat with typical alluvial soils of the area. Adequate Size: The Site is large enough for a community or region-serving shopping center with a total of 23.76 net acres available for development. Total GLA is estimatsd at 278,900 square feet for all commercial 11$e8. ~e Fig!Ires 3 and 4.

We conclude that: The General Plan and the specific pImn, should be mended to better plan and provide for the development or 2eneral commercial ~'oDta~e on Boulevard in the vicinity and meeteriN of the Project site. The limitin~ factors of the underiNin2 !and use and zoning in the specific plan and General Plan needleealy restrict the su___~Mful and viable development of the Project site for community and re2ion-servin~ uses. 0 The Sports Complex has materially chanZed the office/industrial character of its surroundings proposed or~mal~ for Sub-Are 7 of the Industrial Specific Plan to a more colnmer~ml character. T~ia should be reco~iT. ed and a more compatible land use designation be applied to the surroundin~ properties. C. SPECIFIC RECOMIMET~DATIONS It is recommended that Foothill Boulevard g~om the Project Site west of Rochester Avenue eastward to Dry Creek be re-designatod in the various plans and alemenU of the General Plan and the supporting specific plans as .General Commercial land use with supportiq zonina. It is recommended thaX the General and Specific Plan uses be ~--,=ed as sho,n on Fl~tre I as General Commercial (GC) f~om their existing des~nations to assist in the implementation of Recommendation 1. ' It is recommended tha~ one of three options outlined in the text be selected to chanJ~ the land uses to carry out the chanZes otttiiDed in Recommendation No. 1. m be Amend the-Stdmx~a Land Use provisions of the Industrial Specific Plan to chanZe the land uses to ma~h the General Plan chan~e (to General Commercial) requested by the applicant; or ~ a, om eaistix~ Subarea 7, a new Subarm (T-A) with a chanaed list eflind uses permitted in the General Commercial (GC) ~ without ~ the developanent standards currentiN in effect. Thte new 8~mrM oould be limited to property abuttin2 the Foothill Boulevard Corridor and currently undeveloped firom the Project Site easterly to Dr7 Creek; or Remove the sbuttinZ properties f~om the q~ropriate specific plan and create General Commercial m areas with consistent zonin~ and development standards reverting to the Rancho Cu~m~nga Dovelopmont Code, as mended. D. ARGUMENTS AND DATA SVJ~PPORTI~G THE REQUEST The information represented above indicates that the present Project Site is in a location that exhibits the necessary attributes to be viable as ro2ion-serving commercial development, kh-t the trade aroa is large, well defined and expected to grow substantially to support many t~mes the commer~al acreage of this request. The Site has been miscast as office-industrial site and is further impacted by the location of the incompetible use (the Sports Complex is not a compatible use for industrial) which changes the basic use charaeterim'cs of the area from industrial to commercial land use. 1. The Urban Romearch Associates Study A key document contrfi~uting to the land use analysis of commercial land in the City is the report prepared by URA for the City in 1991. It m,,-tyzod !and uses in the Foothill Corridor and concluded that the corridor should become 'tho primary commercial corridor for the City'. This docxmxent presents a number of cSfferont land use reasons for committing the Foothill fronta2e and the Project Site to commercial The study observed the follow/n~: Co,,,~lusiont There is just banrely enough commer(:~il land dm,ignatod for commercial uses/n the City. The total is of 47~70 acres (in 1991), 610-860 acres by 1990, and (t60-10~ acres by the year 2001. The stucl~ conclude at buildout that the City will have ~ loss COmm~ land than Fontana and ~59~ less tim,, Ontario. Commentary~ This has unknown but perhaps serious loss of sales tax revenue to the City over an extended period of time. It is also of critical importance to have enough well-located land in parcels large enough to be ~ls, dlz, m URA found that the commercial Ismd use allocation in the City of Rancho Cuemonas meosurem only about half of the total land um sm a poroontmge of the total city as do the o~m,nercial land um catoOorieo of its nearby nd2hborln2 Communities including Ontario Rialto and Upland. Commentary~, Trends in commer~_-_~ land use today indicate that the :larger sites and facih'tioe are using more acreage and the ranges expressod years ago in the various plans ma,y not reflect curront COmmd~jaJ ~?j]~g ]leed2. The dloeafion of comme~cial land uses in the various plans, and the Industrial Sl~ecifie Plan in particular° was based upon the pre~ine tha~ the office- ino'm~rlal was the ~r~ choice, but failing that a numbor of commer~ai_ rises wsre permitrod by conditional or special approvals. This, in essence be~ the question of whether the land use should be changed. In particular, on the Project 8ire, a number of conditional uses have been approved for convenience commera-l end commeraal service uses including restaurants, fast food, auto- related service end rep2ir, family entertainment etc.. Couclusion~ URA concluded that a ma-ket-aensjtive a~oa2e allocation to commercial !and use would be one quarter or 2~% higher t~-- the existi~ a~eage allocation. LrRA estimated would be approxfinately 1,280 -1,3~0 acres of retail, commercial and omce acre could be absorbed by the year 2001 which 9 years before the potential commex~-! buildout in support of the trade are buildout. Commentar~ It is unclear firore the tat whether this mafket-s---~tive acrm~ refers to the future year of ~001 as being sufficient or indicates that a current (1991) estimate of market-sensitive acresam could be supportm~ Auumin~ the forme, the difference between 1,0~0 acres and 1,~80 acres is 8JO acre which could be added to the commercial land use invontory of tho City without affecting tho viabifity of the remainin2 commercial land uses or cFoating negative Ismd use impacre. Nonethelees, the URA Report reco_~niT~s that the current acreage allo~t~ons are minireel. ~ The next waves of urbanization will be concentrated east of Milliken Avenue in the are of the Masi Commerce Center and its surroundin2s.

ConeluaJon: The study also concludes tha~ the eutern Raucho CucamonSX area will build out with middle and upper income households which will create strong, "close-in~ economic support for commerCi21 !Aries Which fire not now present. Commentary. It is this growth which aesur~ both the need ibr the commercial land use requested and its support in fixture years. The lnd~tstriai Specific In addition to the URA study in 1991, there bare been some changes to the Specific Plans, particularly the Industrial Specific Plan which change the nature of the land use compat,]~ity in the vidnitX of the Project Site. The xldition of the Civic Sportm Complex to the previously desiSnatod ofllce- industrial area chanZes the land use mix which is compatx~le with the sports complex f~om office-industrial to commercial and commerc~ [lel~e tiles. The arbitrary and convenient dividlx~ line (Fooihnt Boulevard) between two Specific Plan arems which also spfit the f~ontiqe into two or more different laud uses into diffeFent cateSories. When the specific plans were adopted in the early 19~0'S, there was no demand for any commercial because the entire area was undevelope~L Therefore, it was possible to place IAncl uses on properties without regard to market parameters or commercial locafional factors. Trade Area and Land Use Analvide- CIsI_,-Q Associates The analysis in the report, Trade Area and Land Use Analysis, by Claire Associates, dated January 1994 is foaxsed on a specific site at the southwest corner of Foothill Boulevard and Rochester Avenue. The report concludes that the area between the Freeway and the project site ~ronti-~ on Foothill Boulevard should be changed to commereisl ~rom the existi~ Industrial/office use. The report also concluded that there is suf~dent effective buying income to support the smount or commercial requested on the site as well a broader scale. This report reaches similar conclusions and recommendations ~o those of the URA and RDRI studie~ Market SaDPOrt for New Retail Space and COmmeFelally Zoned Acrems Raneho ClJCmmOl~]ll CfdifOrnim. blllty Development Reeeareh, lne. November 1008. This study was commissioned by lewis Homes and was a site specific analysis of two sites for commercial uses. It included a trade area analysis and competing canters analysis drawing on existin~ data as well as prlmAm-y research condu~_nd_ for the stud~. One of the sites which is the focus of the study is directly across Foothill Boulevard fi'om the Project Site. The Study made the followln_~ pertinent conclusions: hie: Trade Area buying income was estimated to range from S 1.8 billion in 1993 to $ 3.1 billion by 2010. Commen~ T~!p is very close to the estimatsm presented in the Trade Area and Land Use Analysis by ~ Associates. Conclusion-' "For commer~nl acreqe within the primn!'y zone, the analysis indieates a total of 801 supportable acres in 1993, increasing to 8~9 is 199~, 1,010 in 2000, 1,200 acres in 200~ and 1,400 acres in 2010." They anticipate that a secondary trade area could support the addition to the land inventory in Rancho CucamonSa of up to an additional 80 acres in 1993, 8~ more additional acres bY 1996, 104 more new acres by 2000, 113 more new acres by 2005, 134 more new term bY ~0 10. Commentar~ The progression of demand for a~reaSu is very similar to the market-am~tive project by URA in their 1991 Report. The CA Report did not address the total cometurin! land uso allocations for the Cit~. 10 Coneluston~ "Our -,~-lysim indi~_,_~_i that conaiderable retail demand will alia remain available to other key commercial developments in the immediate vicinity. It is felt that the area's understoring in the areas targeted for these sites as excellent locafionaJ pesitio~in_g vis-a-vis tho more developed portions of Rancho Cucamonga and Interstate 15 are especially 2ood ar~umetlts for r~ol~."

NATURE OF ~ ASSIGNMENT The following document has been prepared by Claire Associates for Masi Commercial Partners to ascertain the feasibility of changing the existing land uses in Subarea 7 of the Industrial Specific Plan (ISP) and General Plan of Land Use to General Commercial uses. This request is in response to a number of changes in development patterns in the intervening years since the ISP was approved- The purpose and intent of this study is to document from all ava'~able sources the feasibility of entitling and permitting the Masi Commerce Center to complete the leasing and development of the final pertions of the planned commercial and industrial complex as a commercial land use rather than an industrial land use. The request recommends at least three options for amending the General Plan of the City be considered. Masi Commerce Partners has ~ed an application for an amendment to the General Plan from Office Industrial use to General Corninertial The Project is located at the southwest corner of Rochester Avenue and Foothill Boulevard in the easterly portion of the City of Rancho Cu~mongs~ See Figure 1 the Regional Location Map and Figure 2 the Commnnity Location Map. Figure 3 ~ustrate the site plan as originally approved by the City-and Figure 4 highlights the proposed changes requested. The major individual components of the study include: o An examination and analysis of the ~_xisting and future trade area demographic characteristics available to support commercial uses at the Project site to detef,~ine if there is sufficient petsntial to suppert the requested land use changes. o Identffication of competing sites, primary and secondary trade areas, locational, circulation and exposure attributes of the Project site, as well as suggested land use designation. o An analysis of the planning documents which govern the development of the Project site to focus and identify the necessary and desirable a~justments to the listings of detailed land uses to permit beneficial cemmercial uses to complete C/~/re Aseoc/.e~=.

An analysis of the attributes and constraints of the site and the site plan to ascertain its potential to support General Commercial land uses with paridnff and access. Based upon the foregoing, project the probable future development scenario for the easterly end of the Foothill Corridor. The scenario will be based upon existing studies and documentation and current planning policy. See Figure 7. Conclusions and recommendation leading to a positive course of action for the City .. f Rancho Oucamonga in changing the General Plan to take in concert to achieve the best possible development solution for the site. B. PROJECTDESCRIPTION The Project as approved previously is illustrated on Figure 3, the Project Site Plan and Figure 4, the proposed chaages to the existing approved plsn, The site consists of 28.50 gross acres at present and will contain 23.76 net acres after the required access street improvements and sethacks are deducted. The southerly one-third is to be used for industrial "start-up" or" incubator" industrial and office uses. Thia division is clearly ~ustrated on Figure 4. The Foothill Boulevard frontage and the northerly two-thirds of the site are already partially committed by letters of intent to mixed commercial, convenience corninertial, recreation commercial and secondary retail or service uses. A number of the freestanding pads have been committed to restaurant or commercial recreation use8 which may also serve food. The status of the current entifiements for commercial uses and the remainder of the site are set forth in Table 1. Foothill Boulevard is the old, historic Highway 66 and as such is a State Highway. Sinco it is a msjor artery traversing the Inland Empire in east-west directions, Caltrans will be a responsible agency and have jurisdiction of access to the highway. At present, a limited right turn in and out access on Foothill Boulevard from the site has been proposed and approved by the City and Caltrans. To better serve the deep site, a 60-80 foot wide loop street is planned and approved to connect Foothill Boulevard to Rochester Avenue and serves the planned auto maintenance court and light industrial buildings. Left turn pockets will be permitted at the intersections of the loop street with Rochester Avenue CNorthbeund Rochester) and Foothill Boulevard (Westbound Footh;ll).

They shotrid be taken into consideration when studying the conclusions and findings. : All project dollar -mounts in the trade area analysis are presented in 1991 dollars so as not overstate the future sales potentin{ estimated to be available. None of the estlmstes have been adjusted for inflation. Inc=emental increases in real income are estimated in the r~-L,e of 1% per year (9%) until the year 2000 and then 3-5% per year (30%) until the year 2010. The retail inventory in the community and competing centers is frozen as of December 1, 1993 and any major changes to the inventory will require that the findings herein be reviewed in light of the changes. Floor areas are expressed in square feet of gross leasable area (GLA) .hie88 specified otherwise. All secondsty data, information, sources contained in thin analysis were derived from sours which are prestrmed rollAble. No single information sourco was used to arrive at the conclusions and recommendations sot forth herein.

ItET~x~, TRADE ANALYSIS 1_, Delineatln2 Trade Area Boundaries: The estimated effective primary and secondary trade arm can be identified. To a certain extent, the nature and boundaries of the trade area are dependent on the type ofpetential c~mmercial uBe beillg considered. For instance, "convenience" commercial uses which draw sales from very limited trade areas (1-3 miles), such as supermarkets, and drug stores, are excluded as petential uses at the site because they already exist in enough nearby iocafions to warrant not further x~actionating the market for such convenience type centers. The uses considered for a super-regional center have a dr~m~ti~lly larger trade area (5*20 miles depending on competitive centers) sales draw than a convenience center. l.ilrewise, the uses usually found in regional and super-regional centers are high volume national and regional chain retail outlets for department store general merchandise, apparel, and other large specialty retailers. The uses proposed for the remaining space in the central pertion of the Mnsi Commerce Center are the secondary region-serving specialty retail uses which are mostly regional or local chains. They generally use approximately 10,000 - 40,000 square feet of gross l~-qhle area (CxLA) and require sites with high vim]~ility and high traffic counts. These types of occupancies uses' would include discount operations sellin~ computers, electronice, furniture, appliances, specialty sporting goods, specialty apparel such as western wear, and the like. There are other local-serving convenience uses which are semetirpes found in other parts of the community such as cleaners, personal care facilities and commercial recreation tenants such as movie theaters etc. A good method of determlnin~ a trade area envelope is to measure driving times from the project site to~varions points in the trade area. Figure 5 illustrate~ five and ten minute traval tillles from the Project site. When matched to the anticipated tenants for the shopping center, the driving times and competing facilities become important to the effectiveness of market penetration. As delineated on Figure 5, the trade area very closely approximates very normal 5 and 10 mile circles centered on the Project Sits. The trade area includes all of Rancho Cucamonga and extends easterly of the 1-15 Freeway deep into the City of Fontann. To the west, a small part of the secondairy trade area enters Upland. Ontario was essentially excluded because of the distance of the major residential concentrations from the Project site. The ~-iving time measurements were made in off-peak afternoon hours which would be typical of timing of most visits for most types of commercial to be anticipated at the Project Site. Travel times east and west were lees constrained by distance because of the major arterial highway status of Foothill Boulevard. The mountains form the lirnlt.8 of the driving envelope on the north and the area to the south is constrained by the major barrier of the 1- 10 Freeway and the large mostly vacant industrial land to the south, southeast and southwest of the site. 2. Demographic Analyses of the Delineated Trade Area The next task is to determine the mount of discretionary income available in the generally delineated trade area to support commercial uses at a particular site. Commercial uses must draw from a trade area composed of households with disposable income. Table 2 uses a methodology developed by Rand McNally Commercial Atlas to estimate the nmount of effective buying income currently present in the City adjacent communities and the Trade Area. The table and the methodology then proceed to allocate the total effective buying income to various categories of retail sales. Table 2 indicates the levels of current (1991) spending for the various categories. This approach does not differentiate between taxable and non-taxable sales which have an obvious fiscal impact for the City on sales dollars lost to other jurisdictions. The demographacs reveal an essentially younger, upwardly mobile, well-educated fn.,~ly community with a median income of $46,782 for Rancho Cucamonga and slighfiy less for the remainder of the Trade Ares_ The Trade Area e~hlbite a calculated Median Household income of $ 42,186 which is very conservative. Effective buying income is estimated by Rand McNally in 1991 to be $ 2,215,463,533. Additionally, Table 2 ~ustrates current 1991 sales by a number of retail sales categories including general merchandise, apparel total retail sales, apparel, food, drug and other miscelianoous retail. Exi sting I~.vel8 of miscellaneous retail alone amount to more than $ 340,000,000 per year. This mdudes all of the other categories not attributed to the those named above. They include eating and drink-/ng establishments, automotive retail and after-market, specialty region-serving retail and many other ~mmercial and service commercial uses. - 3__. Future Retail Trade Area Expenditures Table 3, projects the 1991 expenditures for various classifications of consumer goods to the years 2000 and 2010. Using very conservative growth figures of real income in constant 1991 dollars, the effective buying income could be expected to riee by the year 2000 to $ 2,414,855,251 and to $ 3,079,494,311 in 2010. This represents an overall increase of 9% growth in effective buying income by 2000 over 1991 levels, and Claire Associates, JNtUNy 1994. 17 Trede Ame end 14rid U~e Armly~i&. M~t Comme~e Ce, r~*er a 30% increase (3% growth per year) during the first decade of the next century. Also indicated are the anticipated increases in population, households and household income. These figures shotrid be viewed with caution as there is no assurance that the existln~ mix of buying habits or allocations to one commercia[ sector or another will no~ change. Also, the structure of retailing as we know it today is constantly shiftinf and may not be the same in the future. Nonetheless, the data demonstrates that there is a substantial local market for retail and service commerP~AI shopping in the immediate primary Trade Area of the Project site. ' 4. Competing Centers and Their Market Penetration: The nex~ step is to identify the existing shopping and service centers which compote for the total trade area sales potential with the proposed use in the proposed location most directly. Figure 6 illustrates the location of existing and potential competinf sites. Appendix B lists the centers and their commercial characteristics correspondin~ to their numbers. At the present time, these centors capture only about 50% of total available sales potential from the Trade Area. Interestingiy enou~h. the advent of new commercia~ in the last few years has, apparently, not made much difference in leakage or export from previous studies. q d se" or "sport" reaidents and particularly Rancho Cucamonga. Thi. has been extensively documented by beth the ~ and RDRI studies. Thi. haa been the case sinco the fotmdlnv of the City in the 1980's. Part of this is due to th~compotifion established before t~e City was incorporated by centers in account cities such as Upland and Ontario. This leakage has been set at more than half of all available sales. While it is not likely in the future to capture all of the leaking sales, ~avin. a range of commercial centers in good locations will assist in redu~ng the expor[ of sales dollars to other dries. To not effectively address this problem, will result in the continuing loss of sales taxes and the resulting fiscal lose to the City. This becomes a fiscal impact for the City which could be mitigated by the development of more commercial to keep the sales at home. 18 Trode Area end Lend Use AreJy~ Idui C.~T,~ne~ce Conmr TABLE 2 DEMOGRAPHIC CI'RRA~RISTICS: TRADE AREA ~ ADJACENT COMMUNITIES UPLAND RANCliO FONTANA TRADB AaRA CUCAMONGA 1900 Population 63.379 101,400 87,53~ 127,~54 1901 Popohtioo 68,500 1(39,600 94.700 1~0,8~ 1901 Houmk,~ds_ 18.665 10,68~ 11,644 19,614 1901 Med.

In other words, there must be demand for the commercial uses before they will be developed. Certain types of uses such as In Rancho Cucamonga the activation of this principle is signaled by the renewed Californm as xn a recessionsty mode, Ranch Oucemonga has been fortunate to not experience the serious problem of unemployment, slowed or stopped development and disinvestment found in other parts of the Metropolitan Are~ , Location of Future Trade Area Growth What is more important, Rancho Cucamonga can look forward to continued new growth of younger households with multiple wage earners and the need for hiaher expenditures for all types of goods and services. The m~jor thrust of new growth [}oth in terms of commercial and residential land uses in Rancho CuPsmonga will _oc~_,_r in the eastern portion of the City. This h,, been dearly delineated by both URA in its 1991 analysis of the eastern area commercial potential a]~od aZozlg FoothH! Boulevard and by the RDRI Study for Wes~ Land Properties (November 1993)~ The latter study analyzed two sites for future region-servlne cemmercis]Lcenters. one of which is immedi~ly across Foothill Boulevard from th~ Project site. In addition, the largely vacant areas of neighborine Fontana will be developed with thousands of new households durl,r the next t~enty years. This area forms an important eastern quadrant of th~ trade aree~ The recent approval of 243 cendominium units on 16 acres is only one indication of the coming potential demand in the area. Without quoting extons/vely from these two studies, it is posm~le to anticipate the logical conclusion that FoothiH boulevard will oontinue to be the primary east-west highway serving the commercial nodes which are found at the Tflfe k~e er~f l.,~r~ Ule ~eltt=~' M, esi C~nw~e Cett~ msjor intersections.

The Principle of "Agglomeration" Both the 1991 URA Study and the RDRI study anticipate that the completion of the Victoria Gardens Regional Shopping Center to be developed by the HAhn Company will inca-pAae the demand for secondary region-serving retail and comm~rcinl service in the vicinity. This principle is called "aggiomeration" and is trigEered when a critical mass of comniercial retail gross leasable floor area is absorbed by the sales potential demanded by the Trade Area patrons. This sggiomenation of retail uses will spill over from the Victoria Gardens Center and down Foothill Boulevard to the West. See the portions of the RDRI and URA analyses of these conditions. This represents the most likely future development scenario for the easterly portion of the Foothill Boulevard Commercial Corridor. B. LAND USE AND PLANNING CONSIDERATIONS 1. Introduction This section discusses the potential for allieDcling the General Plan and or the Industrial Specific Plan to permit a wider range of commercial uses for the Masi Cemmerco Center by either removing it from the Industrial Specffic Plan Area altogether or amending both the Specific and General p1Ana to permit a broader rsn_~e of uses by developing new Subarea (7-A) for the Specific plan. These options are discussed in more detail below in Section IV. 2. The Industrial Specific Plan Effectiveness It is very important to the economic viability is the need to change the land use and zoninE designations for financing purposes. Usually these types of problems have little to do with planning or Zoning, and even strict development eentrois are favored by lenders and good developors as a protection for their investment and ~nancial roturn over time. In the case of the Masi Cemmerco Center, a number of convenienco and specialty uses have been approved through the CUP process. They are being allowed by CUP even though the underlying land use is office industrial. It is not possible to finance commercial development for industrial land values. Subarea 7 of the ISP Tre~e Ares ~ Land Use Ar~s: ~ Ca~wme,=e Cerl~r ! l 1 1 The current Subarea Land Use Plan of the Industrial specific Plan can be viewed on Figure 7. When the underlying land use (and in effect the zoning represented by the Industrial Specific Plan) does not permit the h/ghest and best uses or by riSht (permitted), the land will either lan~axish and remain undeveloped, or be poorly developed for a use which will have to be changed later because it was not economically feasible or viable in the long run. The applicant is finding that commercial store operators who would otherwise be in~restecL won't locate in an area which could be developed to some use other than commercial or on land which does not have the proper entifiemente for their particular operation. Plaaning Policy and Land Economics planning policy should not be held hostage to land economics. Neither should good p]nnnin~ policy ignore the realities of the marketplace. There is an eqx,lhq~rium which is pined by having plans sensitive in some regard to economics and the marketplace. When this understaDding is present, the bsaic harmonies generally will c~eate superior projects which have every opportunity to remain viable over extended periods of time because the basic conditions and principles under which they were developed were economically sound and good planning peticy. Sensitivity to Economic Factors vs. Pl~nnin5 Policy The City has clearly demonstrated concern and interest in the rsmlfieations of land economics, the market place, its importance and impact on good development of the land uses in the City. The studies which have been undertaken over the years show thoughtful and inquiring interest and recognition of these factors. I .likewise, actions to change policies have been undertaken when proven necessary and after due deliberation. These include the General plan~ Industrial Specific Plan, other specific plans and various etudips undertaken through the years. . When the Industrial Specific Plan was adopted, the entire area was vacant and available for-development. It was in effect a blank canvas on which to s~t forth a well- conceived, comprehensive plan which made eminent sense in the alld'cation of land uses at that point in time. The industrial office and industrial ~mpus or park concept was prominent and necessary and pionesrad by developers in other places - particularly Orange County. In the intervening years since preparation of the Industrial Specific Plan, the market for industrial and office uses has seRened and there is a huge inventory of excess space and acreage to be worked through before there is a market for more space. In addition, it is becoming clear as discussed above, that Foothill Boulevard is the major east-west commercial arterial highway. The Project Site occupies a key comer site in Tmde Ame end Ler~ Uee Aneltll~ t,4eei C, omme=e Centef the still to be developed eastern portion of Rancho Cut'amonga where the new growth In our long experience with local public plannln~ practice in CaliFornia, the most reasonable and visionary planning policies often nasd modification at a later date because of the challges taking place in society, the economy and the realities of the development as it occurs on the ground.

CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMM'ENDATIONS CONCLUSIONS Based upon the foregoing analysis and review of pertinent doc-ments, we arrive at the follow~n~ conclusions: Trade Area potent-lain Effective Buying Income: The potentials as shown in Table 3 also incre_--e effecti~ buyln~ income substantially in future years. The center should benefit future Victoria Gardens and the emergin~ commerczal cen · Sales Potential: There exists sufficient trade area potential to support 100,000 square feet of sub-region and region-serving uses that are not major general merchandise department stores, food or drug stores. Table 3 dearly indicates that a sizable percentage of the sales potential in the other categories including "other retail" would be available to potential tenants at the Project The potential exists to capture over next few years at lest a portion of the re,~l sales 'leakage" now being experienced. Development Epieenten The site will be in the middle of the next major wnvee of commercial and residential development in eastern Rancho Cu~amongs- It is one quarter mile west of the future Victoria Oardens Regional ShoppinE Center. The Project site is in the middle of over 2 billion dollars of effective buyinE income of which over 50% of the retail trade potential is belnE lost to outside communitiee With resultant sales tax losses and fiscal impact. 2~ Project Site Attributes and Constrniuts: The site has very important physical and locational attributes which enhanee its commercial potential. These include: o Topography and Soils: The site is fiat and stable With alluv~l soils. Adequate Size: The site is large enough for a community or region-serving shoppinE center With a total of 23.76 net A~ree available for development. Total C/e/re Aaa=,c/eet Jsnt~p/1~94. 2e Tmde ~el lnd Llnd Ule ~AlJYs~: MAIJ Oomme~e OeVer GLA is estimated at 278,900 square feet. See F~gures 3 and 4. Location: The site is superbly located at a major intersection of the main COmmerCial corridor of the City of Rancho CuP~monga and its neighbors within one quarter mile of the 1-15 Freeway Interchange- See Figure 3. o Exposure: The site has excellent exposure to the Sports Complex and S,gaium and pasaing traffic on Foothill Boulevard. o previ~xs Approvals: It has been previously approved as a COmmerce center and industrial fmcubator office project. The constraints to development of the sits are not visible and have been discussed above. They include: '] o Financin~ The problem of financing commercial improvements with industrial land uee/~l~cific plan (zoning) on the site- ] o Office/Industrial glut of space: The market for office and industrial uses will take a long time measured in years to absorb existing v~P~nt space. representatives: The perception by potential corninertial occupants tha~ the site is industrial and not useful for commerC~lL S. Land Use And Zonint Considerations the General p~nn and the specific pl~na should be ~mended to better plan RECOMMENDATIONS It is recommended that Foothill Boulevard be designated in the various plans and elements of the General Plan and the Supportln~ Specific pl~na as the pri/nary commercial corridor for the City. It is recommended that the General and Specific Plan uses be changed as shown on Figure 7 in the lower left-hand comer to General Commercial (GC) J C/eVe Aeaocltee, Jer, uey 1~94. 29 Trede ke e~d l..~d U~e ~l)~=: Me~ ~ Cenlr i from their existing designations to assist in the implementation of Recommendation 1. 3. It is recommended that one of three options be selected to change the land uses to ¢mrry out the chnn~es outlined in Recommendation No. 1. These include the following. ! ] Amend the Subarea Land Use provisions of the Industrial Specific Plan to cJ~n~e the !~nd uses to match the General Plan Ph~n~,es (to General ~ommercial) requested by the applicant; or ] 1 Carve from existing Subarea 7 a new Subarea (7-A) with a changed list of land uses permitted in the General Con'mercial (GC) iistin~t,s without affecting the development stan~nrds currenfiy in effect, except as they might conflict. This new Subarea would be limited to property abutting the Foothill Boulevard Corridor and currenfiy undeveloped. o Remove the abutting properties from the appropriate specific plan and c~eate General Commer~sl uses areas with consistent zoning and development standards reverting to the Rancho Cucamonga Development I Code, as amended. :] Claim ,] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] :] ] ] Appendix A Industrial Specific Plan: Subarea 7 FIG.

This document establishes a comprehensive set of long-term goals and short-term strategies which will most effectively target these important resources to meet the community's needs. The Final Statement is specifically designed to encourage participation by all residents of the City in identifying the community's housing, community development, and public service needs and in evaluating the strategies which are proposed to meet these needs. Upon approval by the City Council of the City of Rancho Cucamonga, City staff will incorporate the statement into the City's application for funding from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) under the CDBG prograln for fiscal year 1994-95. THE CO~MUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT pROGRAM The CDBG program is funded by the federal government through the U.S. Department of MUD. The program provides federal funds directly to cities and counties for a variety of housing, community development, and public service activities. The amount of funds which may be received by each eligible City and County is determined by a mathematical formula which measures the comunity's population, the age of the housing stock, and extent of persons living in poverty. Each City and County decides for itself how the money can best be used to meet the unique needs of its residents. Within the guidelines established by the program, each City and C~unty evaluates its Own needs, then designs and operates activities to meet those needs. The primary goals of the CDBG program are to improve the living conditions and economic opportunities of lower income persons, to prevent and eliminate community blight and blighting influences, and to meet urgent needs for which no other resources can be found. A minimum of 70 percent of the benefits of the CDBG funded activities must be directed to activities which assist lower income persons either by providing benefits and services directly to lower income persons, or by improving neighborhoods which are occupied primarily by lower income persons. -2- THE CDBG APPLICATION Each year, communities wishing to receive CDBG funds must provide to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development an application, along with an evaluation of the con~nunity's needs, long-term goals, short-term objectives, and proposed activities for the coming year. The application also includes several statements of policy regarding how CDBG funds will be used to minimize displacement of residents, provide relocation benefits where necessary, and evaluate the need to receive additional community input amending its proposed activities- Finally, the application must also include a series of certifications by which the conununity agrees to meet the requirements of federal law in carrying out its CDBG funded activities. COb~4UNITY pARTICIPATION IN THE CDBG AppLICATION pROCESS In preparing the CDBG application, each con~nunity is required to establish a Citizen's participation Plan that provides the public an opportunity to review and coment upon the proposed uses of CDBG funds. The Citizens' participation Plan for the City of Rancho Cucamonga is included in this document. In accordance with the Citizens' participation Plan, the CDBG program staff solicited ideas for projects to receive CDBG funding during the upcoming year. Letters were sent to numerous community groups and agencies, as well as to all City departments- A display advertisement was published in the Inland Valley Daily Bulletin newspaper one month prior to consideration of the Preliminary Statement and notices were posted in general comunity location ten days before the meeting. The City Council reviewed the preliminary Statement at a public hearing on March 16, 1994. At that meeting, the City Council approved the preliminary Statement and directed staff to prepare the Final Statement. A public hearing on the Final Statement of Objectives and projected Use of FUnds is a required part of the Citizens' participation Plan. Notices of the public hearing to be held on the Final Statement of Objectives and Projected Use of Funds were published on in the local paper, one-month before the City Council meeting date of and notices were posted in co~nunity locations ten days prior to the meeting. -3- III- COBSUNITx Da~vmaOPMI~T PLAN In order to integrate the projects and activities undertaken through the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program with other housing and co~ununity development activities undertaken by the City and to coordinate long-term goals and short-term objectives, the City Council of the City of Rancho Cucamonga hereby adopts the following Community Development Plan. T~E GENERAL PLAN The General Plan is the primary document establishing the goals and objectives of the housing and community development projects and activities to be undertaken by the City of Rancho Cucamonga. All projects and activities undertaken through the CDBG program are to be in compliance with the General Plan. In addition, in selecting the projects and activities to be undertaken through the CDBG program, the City will first consider those projects which most directly serve to implement the goals and objectives of the General Plan. COMPREHENSIVE HOUSING AFFORDABILITY STRATEGY The Comprehensive Housing Affordability Strategy (CHAS), which is prepared each year for submission to the U.S. Department of MUD, is the primary document establishing the goals and objectives of the housing development, mortgage and rental assistance, and residential rehabilitation activities to be undertaken by the City of Rancho Cucamonga. The five year CHAS was prepared in compliance with the Housing Element of the General Plan. In developing and revising the CHAS, On an annual basis, the City will first consider those projects which most directly serve to implement the goals and objectives of the Housing Element. COMMUNITY REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY SPECIFIC PLANS The Specific Plans adopted by the Community Redevelopment Agency are the primary documents establishing the goals and objectives of the Community Redevelopment Agency funded activities to prevent and eliminate blight and blighting influences in the City of Rancho Cucamonga. In selecting projects and activities to be undertaken through the CDBG program in lower income and Con~nunity Redevelopment Agency target areas, the City will first consider those projects which most directly serve to implement the goals and objectives of the Specific Plans. -4- IV - SThl-~ OF COBeiUNITYD~vssLOPM~aTOBOTCTLvaca' In order to establish long-term goals and objectives for the Con=nunity Development Block Grant (CDBG) program, the City Council of the City of Rancho Cucamonga, hereby adopts the following Statement of Co~nunity Development Objectives: COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT OBJECTIVES 1.

Although most of the water courses in the City have been channeled to reduce flood hazards, there are some areas which are potentially subject to flooding in a 100-year flood. AS indicated on the map attached as Figure l, several of the proposed activities are to be undertaken in floodplain areas at-risk for a 100-year flood. These activities are designed to alleviate the deterioration of public and private property already located in the floodplain. Therefore, these activities do not directly or indirectly support development within the floodplain. Staff of the Planning Division of the City of Rancho Cucamonga has assessed the long- and short-term risks of undertaking the activities within the floodplains and has assessed mitigation measures which may be included in the design of the activities. Public notice of the intention to undertake activities within the floodplain was published in the local newspaper to provide citizens the opportunity to coment upon the activities. Notices were also provided to interested public agencies. SOUTHWEST CUCAMONGA STREET IMPROVEMENTS In previous years, staff considered alternatives to providing public improvements in areas of Southwest Cucamonga located in identified flood hazard zones. All street improvements proposed for funding through the 1994-95 Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) have previously been reviewed and approved by the City Council with the exception of 9th Street improvements which are not located in a base-flood plain. The Council has previously made a finding that the street improvement activities which are proposed for the ~994-95 CDBG program are the most practical and desirable alternatives, and that adequate mitigation measures have been identified and designed into the projects. The design, location, and size of the projects have not changed subsequent to the finding; therefore, no new finding is required. HOME IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM AND HISTORIC PRESERVATION INCENTIVES The Council has also made a previous finding that the Home Improvement Program and Historic Preservation Incentives Program are the most practical and desirable alternatives and that adequate mitigation measures have been identified and designed into the projects. Included as a part of the Home Improvement Program is the newly funded minor emergency repair grant program. Providing additional funding to these ongoing programs requires a new finding. -18- Staff considered alternatives to undertaking these activities in the floodplain areas and found them impractical and undesirable- One alternative would be to exclude properties in these areas from the programs. This would leave residences in these areas which are occupied by lower income persons unprotected from the deterioration which may otherwise result from the deferred maintenance likely to occur where financial assistance for home improvements is unavailable- Excluding historic properties from the program would similarly fail to protect such properties. The other alternative, removing the structures from the floodplain, is clearly impractical- In order to mitigate flood hazard impacts for structures which are to be rehabilitated under these progr~m~, the City may require that owners of properties located in flood hazard areas show evidence of federal flood insurance coverage before rehabilitation assistance is provided. FINDING In order to approve operating the House Rehabilitation Program, including the minor emergency repair program, and Historic preservation Incentives Program within the floodplain the City Council mast find that: 1. It is necessary to undertake the activities in the floodplain .in order to protect residences occupied by lower income persons and historic properties from the deterioration which may otherwise result from the deferred maintenance likely to occur where financial assistance for repairs and improvements is unavailable. 2. Adequate measures designed to mitigate the risk of property loss which may result from undertaking the activities have been identified and included in the operation of the activities. 3. The activities conform to applicable state and regional floodplain management standards- -19- FLOOD HAZARDS 100 YEAR FLOOD PLAN 1 '-3' DEPTH (ill ZOeE AO} ( 1' DEPTH ZOe, E D AREAS OF UNDETERMINED BUT POSSIBLE FLO0[ HAZARDS NATIONAL FLOOD NSURANCE (NFI) CITY OF RANCHO CUCAMONGA VEX - STATMM~TS OF POLICY A. CITIZEN'S pARTICIPATIO~ pLAN The City of Rancho Cucamonga encourages and solicits the participation of its residents in the process of identifying projects for funding through the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program. The City will, in conducting the CDBG program, follow this Citizens' participation Plan. 1. Outreach. The City of Rancho Cucamonga encourages citizen participation; with a particular emphasis on participation by persons of low and moderate income and residents of neighborhoods which are experiencing physical deterioration. In order to reach as many residents and community groups as possible, letters will be sent to community organizations and individuals who have participated in the program or suggested projects in recent years. In addition, a display advertisement will be published in the Inland Valley Daily Bulletin at least one month prior to consideration of the preliminary statement. 2. Notice. The City of ~ancho Cucamonga provides citizens with advance notice of all meetings related to the CDBG program and makes copies of all related materials available for public review as soon as notice is given. Notice of the hearing on the Preliminary Statement of Community Development Objectives will be published in the Inland Valley Daily Bulletin~ newspaper at least l0 days prior to the hearing. 3- Technical Assistance. The City will publish the names and telephone n.mhers of staff familiar with the CDBG program who are available to answer questions and help residents and co~nunity groups package a proposal. 4. Public Hearings. The City of Rancho Cucamonga uses public hearings to obtain citizens' views and to respond to proposals and questions at all stages of the program. A hearing is held on the prel]m{nary Statement of Co"~unitY Development Objectives at which the City's housing and comunity development needs are reviewed, past policies end programs are discussed, and each proposed project is explained- A preliminary selection of objectives and programs is then made and published for public review and comment. The hearing on the final grant application is held a month later. All hearings are duly noticed- Agendas and staff reports are available in advance. The meetings are held at City Hall, which is fully accessible to the handicapped. -2 l- Language Accessibility. Several neighborhoods have substantial hispanic populations. At meetings where it is likely that the attendees will not be bilingual, the City will provide an interpreter to ensure that residents can understand and participate in the procedures. e Responsiveness. Once projects have been funded and are under way, the City is committed to ensuring the satisfactory execution of each project. Staff provides a timely response to all written complaints, usually within 15 working days. B. RELOCATION POLICY Recent changes in the regulations governing the expenditure of CDBG funds require that the City establish a policy governing the provision of relocation assistance to any family, individual, business, non-profit organization, or farm that results from implementation of its CDBG programs. It is the policy of the City to avoid displacement of all families, individuals, businesses, non-profit organization, or farms in carrying out its CDBG prograM. No displacement is expected to result from the activities proposed for the 1994-95 program year. However, in the event that operation of any of the CDBG funded activities results in the voluntary or involuntary displacement of any family, individual, business, non- profit organization, or farm (whether owner or renter), the City will provide relocation assistance in accordance with the standards and guidelines set forth in the Federal Uniform Relocation Assistance and Real Property Acquisition Act, Section 7260 (et seq.) Of the State Of California Government Code (Title 25, Chapter 6) and the guidelines issued by the State of California Department of Housing and Community Development, as applicable. The City will meet its relocation responsibilities through the use of its staff and consultants, supplemented by assistance from local realtors, social agencies, and civic organizations. It is the City's objective that all displaces be relocated with a minimum of hardship in accommodations which are decent, safe, sanitary, and suitable to their individual needs; located in areas not less desirable than their current location in regard to public utilities and public and commercial facilities; and reasonably accessible to their customers or places of employment and priced within their financial means. The City will handle those cases requiring relocation which result from implementation of CDBG activities on an individual case-by- case manner. Services provided to eligible displaces shall include but not be limited to: Providing information On project activities, rights, bonefits, and options open to them. -22- o o Maintaining liaison between displaces and agencies of firms with resources to assist them (e.g., Chamber of Commerce, Small Business Administration, Office of Local Economic Development, lending institutions, realtors, etc.). LOcating, inspecting, evaluating, Or stimulating the production of accommodations to meet the needs of all displaces. Assisting displaces in obtaining financing. Assisting displaces in securing priority consideration for rental assistance, public housing, or other housing assistance activities. o o Making referrals to appropriate social, community, and welfare agencies. Keeping records, maintaining files, and coordinating all relocation activities- Providing all families, individuals, businesses, institutions, and farms which are displaced by CDBG fusded activities with written notice of this policy, the types of services available to them, and the amount of relocation assistance for which they may be eligible. (payments will be in the amounts established by State and Federal Guidelines.) City staff and consultants will be available to answer questions and provide information and, by their early involvement, to see that relocation proceeds with a minimum of hardship. RESIDENTIAL ANTI-DISPLACEMENT PLAN Section 104 of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974 requires each grantee to adopt, make public, and certify that it is following a residential anti-displacement plan providing one-for- one replacement units in cases where residential units are demolished as a consequence of an activity funded through the CDBG program. The plan must include steps that will be taken to minimize the displacement of persons from their homes resulting from any activity funded under the CDBG program. The plan must include steps that will be taken to minimize the displacement of persons from their homes resulting from any activity funded under the CDBG program. It is not anticipated that any demolition of residential structures will occur as a result of any of the activities proposed to be undertaken during the 1994-95 program year- However, in accordance with the Act, the City of Rancho Cucamonga establishes this Residential Anti-Displacement Plan. -23- The City of Pancho Cucamonga will replace all occupied and vacant bccupiable lower income dwelling units demolished or converted to a use other than as lower income housing as a direct result of activities assisted with funds provided under the Housing and Community Development Act Of 1974, as amended, and as described in 24 CFR 570.606(b)(1). All replacement housing will be provided within three years of the commencement of the demolition or rehabilitation relating to conversion. Before obligating or expending funds that will directly result in such demolition or conversion, the City of Rancho Cucamonga will make public and submit to the U.S- Department of Housing and Urban Development the following information in writing: a. A description of the proposed activity. The general location on a map and the approximate number of dwelling units by number of bedrooms that will be demolished or converted to a use other than as lower income housing as a direct result of the proposed activity. A time schedule for the commencement and completion of the demolition or conversion.

The source of funding and a time schedule for the provision of replacement dwelling units. The basis for concluding that each replacement dwelling unit will remain a lower income dwelling unit for at least ten years from the date of initial occupancy. D. CRITERIA FOR SUBSTANTIAL CHANGE Federal regulations for the CDBG program require the City to notify affected citizens and provide them the opportunity to comment on any proposed activity which is added, deleted, or substantially changed in terms of purpose, scope, location, or beneficiaries following the submission of the Final Statement of Community Development Objectives and Projected Use of Funds to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development.

Why are they special? They are volunteers who have made a commitment to share their skills, energy, and time to help others. Volunteers are a unique breed. They work hard for a different kind of pay. Their pay is watching a young child beam from ear to ear after finding a pair of shoes he can wear to school, or looking into the face of a shy young mother, ashamed to ask for help, and saying to her: I've got just what you needl Sometimes it's giving a staff member a hug and a smile. The jobs volunteers perform at. 'PIVCC are not easy, physically or emotionally. While one person lifts 50 pound bags of rice hauled that morning from the L.A. Foodbank, someone else listens with compassion to a story filled with human tragedy. Perhaps a group of young people arrive to paint a room in the shelter, or to scrub floors and wash windows at the West End Hunger Program. No matter what the job entails, volunteers come with a smile and an undaunted spirit, and it spills over into the lives of staff and clients alike. It's what keeps us hopeful, and determined to do the absolute best We Can. To all of the special people who share so much of themselves with the programs of the PIVCC, a passionate and heartfelt thank you. This special edition of the newsletter is dedicated to you. Without your presence, commitment, and love, it would be impossible to reach out to and help so many homeless and hungry people. Peace, P.S. For those of you who haven't taken the opportunity to join us as a volunteer, come by and catch the spirit! Words from the Wise: West End Huntier Program: Sova Volunteers Share Their Thouqhts West End: Sova volunteers gathered for a potluck lunch on Valentine's Day. This was a wonderful opportunity for the volunteers to express their hopes and dreams for enhancing the services they provide people in the community, Norma Burwell was one of the original volunteers when the West End: Sova program began in 1991. She says, "1 would like to see more advocacy applied toward the homeless and our families who come to the hunger program. I'd like to be able to send 'people to different agencies and be able to network more with the different agencies in this area." Cathy Bullock, who works in the pantry and does the food orders, says, "1 feel that if I give a half a day of my service once a week, it is not much time to give. I feel that I should do as much stocking and clean-up as I possibly can during that time!" Nancy Kennon remarks, "It would be nice to be more of an advocate for the people who come in. But when it's busy, there just isn't that much time." Rita Wodinsky, Board Member and West End: Sova Advisory Committee Chair, agrees: "There's not much time to be an advocate when you're interviewing. But I want people to know that there is somebody here who cares for them, and that we can give them some of our time." The West End: Sova Hunger Program is certainly a busy place. In 1993. the program served 33,764 individuals! The reason why the program can reach out to so many people in need is the large number of committed volunteers working in every facet of the program.

Rosa Lopez, Hunger Coordinator Jim & Addle Coulter - West End:Sova volunteers 3 Volunteers Fill the Need at the Beta Center Huncler Program Volunteers play an invaluable role in the operation of the Beta Center Hunger Program. We operate almost exclusively with a volunteer staff. Between five and ten volunteers are needed daily to do a variety of jobs from receptionist to CPA; interviewer and pantry worker to clean-up crew; drivers to pick up donations to people to take cardboard to be recycled '- and everything in between! The Beta Center volunteers share some common traits. They are all hard workers and have wonderful, positive, caring attitudes. They are willing to give of themselves, to share or give back something of themselves for the benefit of others. They are willing to listen, and open to learning something from each client, and from each other. The volunteers work together as a team, gaining strength from each other. Many have found lasting friendships at the Beta Center, and look forward to seeing one another each week. Each volunteer has become a professional in the job they perform. They meet the growing demands with confidence, grace, and caring. Whatever the challenges may be, the volunteers are ready and willing to meet them head-on. They always do a tremendous job. All the volunteers -- young, old, male, female, from all ethnic and religious backgrounds -- add their own unique talents and personality to the Beta Center. Their willingness to share who they are, and accept others who may be different, is what makes us strong. The Beta Center would not be able to operate without our volunteers. Last year, 7,354 volunteer hours were totaled at the Beta Center. Even at a very modest $5/hour, it would cost $36,770 in salaries to hire these wonderful people. We are so fortunate to get their talents and hard work free of charge. For all of these reasons, and at least a thousand more, the Beta Center volunteers are truly invaluable. On a personal note, the volunteers touch my heart many times a day. They give me the strength and support to do my job effectively and efficiently. Thanks so much -- I love you all! Ronette Warren Hunger Coordinator Volunteer Voices and Faces from the Beta Center Milo Lacy --"1 wanted to experience the hunger situation at the point of distributing food .... Volunteerism is fun and necessary." Kit Sherman (Kit, from Holy Name of Mary Church, has been a Beta volunteer since 1982) -- "Helping people is my calling. I get great satisfaction from doing this. My fellow workers are very cooperative, and I plan to stay as long as I can and as long as I feel needed!" Anthony Foster -- "1 find it very fun, helping out where I am needed. It shows me that there is good in this world. But most of all it bring me Closer to God, because volunteer 4 work comes from the heart, and it makes my heart feel good when I volunteer." Joyce Waters -- "I'm a long-time member of Claremont United Church of Christ, Congregational. When I retired seven years ago, I chose to volunteer at the Beta Center because I believe no one should be hungry in this country, especially not babies and other children. The reward is in knowing someone is better off because of one's efforts.' Barbara Coates (From Claremont UCC, Barbara has been a volunteer since 1987; she was recruited by Mary Van Kirk) -- "The Beta Center clientele has grown considerably, as have the food sources and space available. There has been improvement in training of volunteers. I appreciate the warmhearted and professional approach of Betty Shepherd, and have been impressed with how well Ronnie relates to people in need, and her ability to recruit volunteers 'on the spot!' There is no doubt this is an important program." Olive Paulson -- "1 have been volunteering for seven years. It really makes me feel like I'm doing worthwhile work." Gloria Willhoite -- "Olive asked me if I would like to work at the Beta Center. I thought it would be great to help out. I've been here for about a year. I'really enjoy working here. Everyone is so pleasant and helpful. I feel privileged to do this service." Rosalyn Chester-- "1 began volunteering at the Beta Center in May of 1987. I've enjoyed working with Ronnie and Barbara and al_~l the volunteers in the past seven years. I volunteer on Thursday mornings in the pantry." Edwin Bower (from Pilgrim Place and Claremont United Methodist Church). -- "1 started as a volunteer in 1984, working in the pantry. I am now screening clients on Thursday afternoons." Wynn Wallace -- "1 found out about the program through Pomona College (my school) and other friends who volunteer at the Beta Center. I've only been working a month or so, but plan to continue. I love working here. It is the best way to put a little perspective into your life, to realize how much you have, and to accomplish something for others at the same time. I recommend it to anyone." Dominic Elias -- I found out about the Beta Center from my friend Lynn Wallace, who is a volunteer. I have since found out that my family, via my grandfathers John Nabarrete and Cedric C. Elias, has been associated with the Beta Center, through Sacred Heart Church, since the building was first built. I really feel like the Beta 'Center gives me the opportunity to help people." Anthony Foster and Joyce Waters '- Beta Center Volunteers 5 All-Volunteer Staff Keeps San Dimas Hunger Site GoinQ Terry Webb, Verna Gaston, & Frederika Preszler San Dimas Hunger Program Volunteers The San Dimas Hunger Program has some very special qualities that make it unique among the programs of the Council. The site is staffed and supervised entirely by volunteers, under the able direction of Frederika Preszler and Terry Webb. Wilma Basler assembles the monthly statistical reports, which are so important to the governmental and private agencies which consider our requests for aid. We make an excellent impression When we assure that every dollar we receive will buy food for the site. We owe a great debt of gratitude to the Reverend David Harder and the San Dimas Community Church for providing us a secure, attractive, and centrally- located space. The city of San Dimas has identified the hunger program as an important community resource, and is currently considering our funding request. Thank you, volunteers, for your resourceful service. Perhaps much of the excellence of your organization and delivery system is also a result of the past leadership of Virginia Foyle, who meant so much to all of us. Thank you for carrying on her work and serving hungry families on behalf of all the generous donors who support the San Dimas Hunger Program. Gall Stine Acting Associate Director Church Women United Sponsors World Day of Prayer The Pomona Valley Unit of Church Women United will gather on Friday, March 4, at 9:30 a.m. at the Covenant United Methodist Church, 1750 North Towne Avenue, Pomona to celebrate World Day of Prayer. This annual global celebration, observed by Christian communities through the world, has been prepared by Christian women in Palestine, and explores the theme, "Go, See, and Act." A video of a Palestinian family interview will be shown. Church Women United has been the official sponsor of this celebration since its foundin9 in 1941. It is a day on which millions of Christian women all over the globe join in informed prayer and prayerful action. 1994 marks its 107th year. "We trust that the prayer service will open our minds and hearts to further dialogue and study," says Millie Moser Smith, Ecumenical Celebrations Chair. For additional information, please call Wilma Basler, Publicity Chair, at 599- 8750. 6 "They Brina Forth Good Thinqs": House Shelter Volunteers Our Mabel Reiff, Shelter Volunteer, compiles weekly statistics. When I think about the shelEer volunteer's unselfish giving of time, their unrelenting dedication to "Our House," and their unwavering compassion for issues of imp0verished people, I am overwhelmed with gratitude. Consider volunteers like Dorothy Smith, who has served the Council for seven years, and touched thousands of lives. Or Mabel Reiff, whose faithfulness and hard work surpasses any that I have seen. Dottie Wegemann's invol zement in the program has redefined for me commitment and determination. And last but not least is Myles Johnson, our newest member of the volunteer staff whose fresh enthusiasm brings new hope to our families. Don Stuart, John Denham, Dr. Michelle Wierson, Rick Moore, Sue Lang, Maria Gorsvch, and Catherine Bush are all a part of this "volunteer phenomenon."

After receiving her undergraduate and graduate degrees, Willa taught for several years in the New York City public schools. She settled in Claremont in 1978.. Since h'er arrival, Willa has worked as a teacher, social worker, and real estate agent. In her newly-created position at PIVCC, Willa has the exciting challenge of shaping the direction of the volunteer program. She has broken down the position into three crucial categories: public relations and recruitment -- "advertising the need for volunteer power"; training '- "to alleviate lack of direction, and focus on duties and commitment"; and "recognition and appreciation of the volunteers' efforts." In addition to her work for the Council, Willa says she also works for "one husband, two kids, one eccentric cat, El Roble PFA, Claremont High School, First Church of Religious Science in Claremont -- it goes on and on!"" She has also served on several school site committees and the Willa says when she came to the office to interview for the position, she took a look around, saw the smiles on everyone's faces, and knew this was the place for her. We are so fortunate to have Willa with us. Welcome! Mary Kashmar Assistant to the Director Best Wishes for a Speedy Recovery to Fr. Chris Fr. Chris Ponnet, Associate Pastor at Our Lady of the Assumption Church in Claremont, and a PIVCC Board member, sent us a note at the beginning of February. He wrote: "The other day, due to a family history of heart problems, I took a heart treadmill and ended up with open heart surgery. As I experience this pain and recovery, I'm most grateful to the whole staff of Pomona Valley Medical Center. I'm grateful to community leaders and members who sent cards, flowers, best wishes, prayers." The Council of Churches staff sends its very best wishes to Fr. Chris for a speedy recovery. Claremont Unified School District Affirmative Action Advisory Committee. 9 i Women and Children Exhibit Art Work at Da Gallery PIVCC organized a special art exhibition, "The Art of Empowerment," which was featured at the Da Gallery in Pomona from January 29 through February 10. The exhibition contained works created by homeless women and children who have participated in the Our House Shelter and HomeStart Programs. PIVCC's art therapist, Madeline Liebling, worked with the women during self-esteem support group sessions, and with the children during activity group sessions. Clients created drawings, paintings, and sculpture which express their feelings about their homeless experience, the abuse they have suffered, and their dreams for the future. Da Gallery Director Darlene D'Angelo approached PIVCC staff about exhibiting clients' work at the gallery. Da Gallery is a nonprofit arts organization which has a community outreach program. The show created some special opportunities. A site-specific sculptural installation, located in the gattery annex, was conceived of by a woman who is presently participating in HomeStart. CoHaborating with her two children, another HomeStart woman, Ms. Liebling, PIVCC's Director of Development Holly Eichinger, and students from the Claremont Colleges, the woman fabricated objects and directed the set-up of the installation. The piece was autobiographical, depicting the woman's response to her homeless experience and how it affected her family. The show has become a traveling exhibition. PIVCC has been asked to show the work at the San Gabriel Marriott Hotel in Baldwin Park next month during a conference held by the L.A. County Office of Education. The County provided funding to support educational enrichment activities last summer for the children in the Our House and HomeStart programs. Special thanks go to the following people for their donations of time or material, for helping our clients find a forum to share their experiences, and for educating the community about homelessness: Art Showcases; Stater Brothers Market; Powell's Hardware; Camino Real Cleaners; Usha Mishra; Sara Ness; Daniela Dell Orco; Mike Keenan; and Michael Aschenbrenner. Holly Eichinger Director of Development Sculptural installation, in the Da Gallery Annex, created by a woman participating in PIVCC's HomeStart program. 10 A BIG THANKS TO OUR JANUARY DONORS .....

Engineering division estimates that $218,000 will be required to complete this project. The Fiscal Year 1994-95 Proposed: Analysis: $424,000 Calavcras was part of the original Southwest Cucamonga Street improvement project area, while 9th Street was added in the prior fiscal year. Dcsign work for 9th Street will be completed during FY 1994-95. Therefore, it is recommended that the Calavcras Street project be funded in this year, which will complctc the original project, and that 9th Street be funded in 1995-96.

Fiscal year 1994-95 involves design of improvements and 1995-96 will include construction costs. Fiscal Year 1994-95 Proposed: $77,178 Analysis: Funding for this project has been previously requested and it was determined that this project could be addressed after rehabilitation improvements were completed on both the Lions and the Neighborhood Center. Staff does not recommend funding this activity at this rime. On-Going NEIGHBORHOOD C'~'N'I'F:R IMPROVEM~.NTS: Description: Interior improvements to continue rehabilitation activities on the City's Senior Center, including interior painting, resurfacing of counters and replacement of ceiling tiles and lighting fixtures in the Mission Room, as well as completion of handicap ramp improvements. 9791 Arrow Route. Fiscal Year 1994-95 Proposed: $42,000 Carry ove~ Reprogram: $20,860 Analysis: Interior improvements to the City's only senior center would complete the rehabilitation of the Neighborhood Center. Staff recommends funding for this project to allow completion of improvcmcnts that began in the prior fiscal year. LIONS PARK COMMUNITY CENrI~R Description: Phase II of handicap impruvcmcnt project at the ccnter. Phase I fundcd design and a portion of construction acrivitics. Phase II will involve the remainder of fUnds to complete construction of the improvements. 9161 Baseline Road. Fiscal Year 1994-95 Proposed: $304,691 Carry Over/ Reprogram: Analysis: $137,440 This project was first funded last year and was designed to be completed in two phases. However, due to demands on the CDBG program resources, it will be completed over a 3 year period. Request for a design consultant will begin in the latter part of the 1993-94 fiscal year and building plans will be completed during the 1994-95 fiscal year. Construction will follow in FY 1995-96. Staff recommends funding $75,230 toward this project. The remaining $229,461 will be funded in FY 95-96. SOUTHWEST CUCAMONGA STRIqq' IMPROVEMFNTS Description: This project involves the design and construction of streets, curbs, gutters, streetlights and sidewalks for specific streets in the Southwest Cucamongn neighborhood. This is the continuation of an on-going improvement project. In addition to the new activities funded in 1994-95, there are continuing design and construction improvements that were approved in prior fiscal years. 2. Design of Calaveras from 9th Street to Arrow Route- This project was appruved in fiscal year 1992-93. The Engineering Division estimates that an additional $4,000 will be required to complete this design. Fiscal Year 1994-95 Proposed: $4,000 Carry Ove~ Reprogram: $13,000 from 9th St. Design Grv/Edwn. $11,500 from Sierra Madre $179,890 from Salina/Vinmar Analysis: Staff recommends providing the additional $4,000. All funds from uncompleted project are automatically carried over and/or reprogrammed. SIDEWAI .K RPPAIR AND REPLACEMENT Description: This project involves the grinding of sidewalks displaced by trees. This is the continuation of an on-going program. Fiscal Year 1994-95 Proposed: $25,840 Carry Ove~ Reprogram: $11,040 Analysis: Engineering has indicated that the same amount requested last year will again be used this year. Staff recommends funding the full request. WH~LCHAIR RAMPS Description: The project involves the rctrofitting of existing curbs to accommodate handicapped persons. This is the continuation of an on-going program. Fiscal Year 1994-95 Proposed: $18,840 Carry Over/ Rcprogram: $0 Analysis: The same amount that was rcqucstcd last year is again requested this year. Staff recommends full funding. HOUSING REHABILITATION New NORTH TOWN REVITAI.IZATION PROJECT Description: The proposed rehabilitation of 10 homes in the North Town area of Runcho Cucamonga. Loans or grants arc anticipatcd to averagc $20,000 each. Applicants must be cligiblc low income homcowncrs occupying thc assisted units. North Town, is bounded by 26th Street on the north, Santa Fc Railroad tracks to the south, Marine Avenue on the east and Archibald Avenue on the west. Fiscal Year 1994-95 Proposed: Analysis: $200,000 While the North town area has a high pewenrage of units that nccd assistance, there arc many other areas of the City that also have significant rehabilitation need. Duc to limited funding availability, if funds wcrc diverted to North Town, the Home Improvement Program would not bc abic to continue its assistance citywide. Staff recommends that the City apply for State HOME funds which can be used for rehabilitation assistance. Additionally, households in the Northtown area are currently on the City's HIP waiting list. Staff does not recommend funding for this program. On-Cnin~ HOME. IMPROVEIVlENT PROGRAM Description: The continuation of the provision of grants, amortized loans and deferred payment loans to lower income occupants of single family residences, including mobile homes. The primary goal of the program is the preservation of the City's existing housing stock. Additional objectives include neighborhood revitalization and assistance to meet a homeowners' individual special needs. There are four components to the City's existing program: Low interest Loan Program could provide amortized low- interest loans of up to $25,000 to owners of single-family residences occupied by lower income persons. Deferred Payment Loan Program could provide non- amortized loans of up to $25,000 to senior citizens, households headed by handicapped persons and very low income families who are owner occupants of single-family residences. Loans would also be available to low income families who are unable to qualify for traditional financing. Rehabilitation Grant Program would provide grants of up to $5,000 to lower income owner-occupants of single- family residences including mobile homes. Emergency Grant Program would provide grants of up to $5,000 to low and very low income owner-occupants who have immediate health and safety hazardous conditions that the owner is unable to correct on his or her own. Fiscal Year 1994-95 Proposed: $295,310 Carry Over/ Rcprogram: $0 Analysis: This would be the continuation of the City run Home Improvement Program that began in 1990. Staff recommends providing $242,180 in funding, which should be enough to fund 2 loans and 24 grants. It should be noted that during FY 1993-94 the program expended its total fiscal year allocation by January. OLDTIMeS FOUNDATION Description: This program complements the City*s Home Improvement Program by providing immediate service for emergency and small home repairs. The program will be available to low income and senior households. Repairs could include such items as minor electrical, plumbing, and roof patching. Cost for material is limited to $100 per job, with a maximum of two visits per household allowed per year. Allowance will also be made for emergency repairs involving health and safety items. With City approval a one time grant of up to $200 will be allowed. Fiscal Ycar 1994-95 Funding: $10,000 Carry Over/ Reprogram: $0 Analysis: This program provides needed minor improvements and repair assistance to the City's senior and low income population. However, the number of individual assisted has remained relatively constant. Therefore, the City would not recommend an increase in funding. Staff recommends funding this program at $8,000. PUBLIC SERVICE New See the Attached Summary Sheet On-Going Scc the Attached Summary Sheet 1994-95 PUBLIC SERVICE PROPOSAL DESCRIPTION AND ANALYSIS NEW GUARDIAN AD LITEM PROGRAM (CASA/GAI3 Description: Funds for this program would be used to recruit, screen, train and supervise community volunteers from the Rancho Cucamonga area to serve as volunteers of the San Beruardino County Juvenile Court. These guardians then become court appointed special advocates for abused and neglected children who are dependent upon the San Beruardino County Juvenile Court. In the past three years, the program has served 29 children and families in the Ranthe Cucamonga area, representing 7.2 percent of the client population. In that same time, the program has only had ? volunteers from the Rancho Cucamonga area representing 2.3 percent of the volunteer force. The program would attempt to better this ratio. Amount Requested: $10,092, 3 percent of the Agency's overall budget. Analysis: While the program would address special needs consistent with the goals of the CHAS, it does not address an immediate health and safety need. The program receives funding from diverse sources including Federal, State, County Government contracts, United Way, company, and individual donations. It is likely that these and similar sources can be tapped for future assistance. Staff does not recommend funding this agency. YWCA Y-TEEN PROGRAM Description: Provide constructive and alternative after school activities for junior-high aged teens. The groups meet weekly and cover many educational and preventative topics. Additionally, the youths are encouraged to develop a connection to the community by participating in service projects and volunteer work. The Y-Teen club presents an on-going program for lower-income at-risk youths through a club-like environment. The program has primarily focused on young women, but may also bc open to boys. It serves to complement other youth programs such as CHOICES. CHOICES deals specifically with identified at-risk youths, by providing a l?-week class conducted by law enforcement officials at a school site. This is then followed by a wilderness camp experience. Students arc also encouraged to participate in community activities. In addition to these programs, the City's Community Services Department offers a monthly program frec to all teens, called TRAC, (Teen Recreation Activity Club). TRAC meets at the Lions Community Center. Teens am able to become involved in recreation, entertainment and community service activities. Amount Requested: From $6,961 for one Y-Teen Club to $27,844 for four Y-Teen clubs. Analysis: The program meets the specific goal of providing preventative and educational services for youths-at-risk, although it does not serve an immediate health and safety need. The program provides an alternative to negative behaviors and provides a positive learning environment and role models to young girls and boys in the formative period of their lives. The program is supported in several surrounding communities including: Ontario, Montelair, Pomona, Diamond Bar, Claremoat and Upland. The program also receives support through other sources including the County of San Bcrnardino, United Way, and Charley Joint Union High School District. Because of limited resources staff can not recommend funding for this program. JUVENH .F. DIV!~RSION PROGRAM/COUNSELING ASSOCIATES Description: The program is formed of a coalition of services under the San Bcrnardino County Superintendent of Schools. Students served are referred directly through probation or the Juvenile Court. Numerous public and private agencies are listed as participating in the program including: Children's Network, San Bernardino County Department of Mental Health, Department of Public Health, Department of Public Social Services, San Bernardino County Library, and the County Probation Department. Other community based organizations listed in the MOU include: CASA Network, Valley Improvements Program, Counseling Associates, Bilingual Family Counseling Services, Inc,, and CPC Rancho Lindo Hospital. Based on review of the application it appears that two of the community-based organizations. arc requesting assistance: Counseling Associates, a non-profit; and Bilingual Family Counseling Services. Services provided by these agencies would bc educational and preventative and would bc provided to approximately 80 youths for a total of approximately 240 family members. Amount Requested: $10,000. Information on sources of revenue for the budget or percentage of the budget arc not clear. Analysis: Agency services could potentially meet requirements for special needs. However, the program does not serve an essential health and safety need. Other concerns with regard to this program are the fact that it is new and as yet has no track record, although, Counseling Associates on their own received CDBG funds from the City of Upland. One other area of concern is that the application seems to indicate that Bilingual Family Services will also receive funding, but it does not include the required submittal information for this agency, i.e,. audit, non-profit status. Staff does not recommend funding for this program. PROJECT SIS't~R. Description: Services are designed to reduce the trauma of sexual assault as well as initiate and/or assist in the healing process. Services offered include a hotline, information and referral, advocacy and accompaniment, as well as individual counseling and support groups. Preventative services are also offered including community education, a teen program, child abuse prevenrion and self-defense instruction. The intended use of the funds in Rancho Cucamonga will be to provide information, referral and counseling to junior and high schools in the community. Amount Requested: $9,000. This represents 4 percent of the overall agency budget. Analysis: The information, prevention and counseling services meet the goals for special needs in the CHAS. However, this program does not address an immediate health and safety need. This program receives several sources of revenue including area cities and United Way. Of concern is the fact that the organization submitted income tax forms rather than an audit statement for the prior year. Because of limited resources staff does not recommend funding this program. ST MARK'S HOMB .F. SS SHI~ :fld, K. INC. Description: Provision of a transitional shelter facility as well as comprehensive support services designed to enable families to maintain permanent housing. It is anticipated that at least the same number of families housed in the prior year, 9 families, will be housed in the 90 day residential program, resulting in 420 bed days. The estimated cost is $20 per bed day. Amount Requested: $8,400. This represents approximately 20 percent of the residential apartment budget which is the amount experienced while serving Rancho Cucamonga residents during the prior year. Analysis: This project would be consistent with the City's goal for the prevcn~on of homcicssncss contained in the CHAS. Inclusion of this activity would provide a more comprehensive homeless program available for the community. Currently, the City only funds short-term emergency shelter services. A transitional facility attempts to address the root causes of homelesshess and get families back into permanent housing. St. Mark's is a shelter that has been serving the West End for many years and is supported by area cities including Ontario and Upland. Other contributions include United Way and individual contributions. This program addresses an immediate health and safety need. Funding toward this program is highly recommended. OPERATION SHARE - SEVEI~F. WEATI~EMI~GENCY Description: To utilize a 5,000 sq ~ multi-purpose room to provide shower facilities and provide the homeless served at the facility With bedding and food during severe weather. The funds would be used to set up an organization team, complete the facilities and purchase needed equipment and finally to recruit, train and deploy volunteer staff. Amount Requested: Analysis: $5,750. Represents approximately 13 percent of the proposed 1994 budget. There is a significant question as to whether Operation Sharo is an eligible organization because of the religious nature of their operation. HUD's constitutional prohibition requires that there be no religious influences in the operation of the funded facility. Based on review of literature provided by the facility it appears that there may be a conflict. Additionally, the organization has never received CDBG or other similar types of funding. Organizations cited as providing funding inchdc public and private donors such as Target and Sears stores and Central School District. Staff is concerned as to whether the program would be able to provide adequate records as required under the program. Finally, funding of this type of program would be another emergency assistance program rather than addressing transitional housing programs. Staff does not recommend funding this program. UPLAND Lt'I~RACY PROGRAM Description: The Upland Library Literacy program has served approximately 400 learners since 1989. Of the adult loners served, 72 or 20 percent, were residents of Rancho Cucamonga. State grant funding will end in June 1994, and therefore, other sources of income arc now being sought. The majority of the clients served fall into the low to moderate income categories because the arc unemployed or have low paying jobs. The Literacy program anticipates that approximately 100 new adult readers will benefit from literacy tutoring services. The program will provide workshops to train volunteers approximately 6 times a year. Amount Requested: $2,500, or 5 percent of the budget. Analysis: While this program would certainly meet the goals for special services listed in the City's CHAS, the literacy program does not address an urgcnt health and safety need, which has been the factor used in prior ycar's determinations. Additionally, it is likely that the City*s own library will probably be providing similar services in the next ycar or two, oncc the library facility is operational and state grants can be applied for and thc program further considered. Staff does not recommend funding for this activity. CUCAMONGA I-m. AD START Dcscription: Acquisition of a modular facility to bc located adjacent to the existing head start site at 9324 San Beroardino Rd. The existing school facility services 76 children and their families. The proposed modular classroom would house a 5-station computer lab with software that supports parcnt education, training, and parent-child interaction. Amount Requested: $50,000. furniture This includes cost for classroom, utility hook-ups, and landscaping. Analysis: This is very similar to their request during the 92-93 fiscal year. Based on a detcrmination made by HUD at that time, if thc modular unit is purchased, it must bc considered a public facility. The intent of the City is the cxpansion of a public service not a capital facility. As a public service, the City Would be able to pay for rent on a facility, but not its purchase. Additionally, this program does not address an immediate health and safety need. Staff does not recommcnd funding for this activity. Staff has provided the agency with an application for the Community Foundation. ON-GOING GRAP'P'fI'I RF..MOVAI.
