APPROVAL FOR THE LIONS CLUB OF RANCHO CUCAMONGA TO USE
A VIEW OF EPICENTER FOR DESIGN OF PINS
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council endorse the usage of the view of
the Epicenter as a basis for design of a new trading pin to be made by the
Lions Club of Rancho Cucamonga.
BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS
The Lions Club, Rancho Cucamonga District, have in year's past used
images from the Grape Harvest Festival and other community activities.
The usage of City buildings and community activities as focal points for
various media used to promote the community and its many cultural
offerings helps to promote unity within the City of Rancho Cucamonga and
further recognition of Rancho Cucamonga outside of the City. Such
activity should be encouraged.

RECO~ENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council adopt the attached Resolution
accepting and approving the Environmental Initial Study, parts I and II and
cause the issuance of a Negative Declaration for the Metrolink Station at
Milliken Avenue and the Southern California Regional Rail Authority Tracks;
Art Park, at same location; and Milliken Avenue Extension from Foothill
Boulevard to Arrow Route.
BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS
The City has received funding from the San Bernardino Associated Governments
(SANBAG) for the installation of a Metro!ink Station. SANBAG has also funded
the extension of Milliken Avenue between Foothill Boulevard to Arrow Route,
through Measure I funds. The Art Park is a State Grant requested improvement
on what will be the north side of the Metrollnk Station and south of the
Jersey Street Fire Station. The City is currently in negotiation with the
owner of the Metrolink site, General Dynamics, for acquisition of an ul timate
10 acre site. The Art Park area is owned by Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe
Railway. The City has contacted AT&SR concerning the concept of a Art Park
development on this 3 acre site and has received a favorable response. The
development of this site rests solely on the award of grant funding from the
State. The Art Park largely consists of low maintenance plants incorporated
into locally representative hardscape. The main feature is certain areas
which focus on art work provided by local artists. The site incorporates a
backdrop of a native eucalyptus windrow for protection and historic theme.
The Milliken Avenue extension rights-of-way have been dedicated to the City by
the owner.

The previous arrangement for services did not include a formal agreement.
This contract will formalize the services and provide the appropriate errors
and omissions and liability insurance to protect the city. Attached for your

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

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.

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.

Enclosed is Dr. Golden's check in the amount of Two Hundred Fifty-
One Dollars as the fee for this appeal.

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

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.
Motion: Moved by McNiel, seconded by Melcher, to adopt the resolution denying
the request to modify the condition of approval requiring undergrounding for

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.

"The existing overhead utilities (telecommunications
and electrical) along the north property line of ParcA

Moonstone Avenue to the terminus about 135 feet east of
Moonstone Avenue prior to approval of the Final Parcel

undergrounding all existing overhead utility lines including the removal of
tel ated supporting poles adjacent to and within the 1 imits of a

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

RESOLUTION NO. 87-96
A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF
RANCHO CUCAMONGA ESTABLISHING A REVISED POLICY FOR THE
UNDERGROUNDING OF EXISTING OVERHEAD UTILITIES AND
REPEALING RESOLUTION NO. 86-77
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission of the City of Rancho Cucamonga
wishes to repeal Resolution No. 86-77 which was adopted on the 28th day of
May, 1986 and establish the revised policy contained herein;
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission of the City of Rancho Cucamonga
wishes to remove unsightly existing overhead utility lines in order to promote
a more aesthetic and desirable working and living environment within the City;
and
WHEREAS, it is necessary to establish a policy to inform property
owners and developers of the City goal.
. NOW, THEREFORE, be it resolved and established that all developments,
except those contained in Section 7 and any others specifically waived by the
Planning Commission, shall be responsible for undergrounding all existing
overhead utility lines including the removal of the related supporting poles
adjacent to and within the limits of a development as follows:
1. Lines on the project side of the street,:
Said lines shall be undergrounded at the developer's expense.
In those circumstances where the Planning Commission decides that
undergrounding is impractical at present for such reasons as a short
length of undergrounding {less than 300 feet and not undergrounded
adjacent), a heavy concentration of services to other users,
disruption to existing improvements, etc., the Developer shall pay an
in-lieu fee for the full amount per Section 6.
The Developer shall be eligible for reimbursement of one-half the cost
of undergrounding from future developments as they occur on the
opposite side of the street.
Lines on the opposite side of the street from the project: The Developer
shall pay a fee to the City for one-half the amount per Section 6.
Lines on both sides of the street: The Developer shall comply with
Section 1 above and be eligible for reimbursement or pay additional fees
so that he bears a total expense equivalent to one-half the total cost of
undergrounding the lines on both sides of the street.
Pole lines containin 66KV or lar~er electrical lines: All lines shall be
undergrounded or inLiieu fees pa~d in accordance with section l, 2 or 3,
above, except for 66 KV or larger electrical lines.
5. Limits of Responsibilities:
In-lieu fees shall be based upon the length of the property being
developed from property line to property line (the center of adjacent
streets for corner properties).
Undergrounding shall include the entire project frontage and extend
to: {1) the first existing pole off-site from the project boundaries
(across the street for corner properties}, {2) a new pole erected at a
project boundary (across the street for corner properties), or {3) an
existing pole within 5 feet of a project boundary, except at a corner.
Fee Amount: The amount for in-lieu fees shall equal the length (per
Section 5. a) times the unit amount as established by the City Council
based upon information supplied by the utility companies and as updated
periodically as deemed necessary.
Exemptions: The following types of projects shall be exempt from this
policy:

PUBLrC HEARINGS
ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT AND TENTATIVE PARCEL .MAp 12877 GOLDEN - 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 Moons=one Avenue - APN: 1061-251-24.
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

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.

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. The amenchnents will not be detrimental to adjacent properties
or cause significant adverse environmental impacts.

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

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

John Mannerins, Mannerins & Briguglio, 9333 B·se Line Re·d, Suite 110, Rancho

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

~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

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. It is staff's opinion that
the foll~ing fac~s for findings can ha madez
ae
The suhJec~ proper~y is suitable for the uses permitted in
the proposed Industrial Area Specific Plan Amendment and
iS cs~tible with existing and surrounding land use
deeignatious as evi~-nced by the site's being bordered on
~he mouth by the Sports Complex which has created a unique
o[~s~rtunity for recreation-related oomercial.
The proposed amena-ant will net have significant impacts
m =he envirawent nor on ~he surrounding pr(~erties as
evidenced by the findings and conclusions' listed in
Par~m I & II of the Initial Envir~nmental ASsessment of
this s~plication.
Ce
The proposed amendment does no~ exhibit any c~nflic~s with
the provisions of the General Plan and the Industrial Area
Specific Plan.

A. Recitals.
(i) Masi Partners has filed an application for General Plan
Amendment No. 93-02B as described in the title of this Resolution.
Hereinafter in this Resolution, the subject General Plan Amendment is referred
to as 'the application.'
(ii) On Pebruar~ 9, 1994, the Planning cceeaiselon of the City of
Rancho Cucamonga conducted a duly notlced public hearing on the application.
(ili) All legal prerequisites prior to the adol~cion of this Resolution
have occurred.
B. Resolution.
NOW, THEREFORE, it is hereby found, determined, and resolved by the
Planning Ccemiseion of the City of Rancho Cucamonga as follows=
1. This ~ission hereby specifically finds that ·11 of the facts
set forth in the Recitals, Par~ A, of this Resolution are true and correct.
2. 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

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

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.

3. Based upon the substantial evidence presented to this c~nmiselon
during the above-referenced public hearing and upon the specific findings of
facts set forth in paragraphs I and 2 above, this Coa~nisslon hereby finds and
concludes as followsz
(a) That the subject property is not suitable for the uses
permitted in the proposed district in terms of access, size, and compatibility
with existing land use In the surrounding srea~ and
(b) That the proposed ~ndment ~uld not have significant
impacts on the environment nor the surrounding properties~ and
(c) That the proposed ~nendment is not in conformance with the

habitat upon which wildlife depends. Further, based upon substantial evidence
contained An the Negative Declaration, the staff reports and exhibits, and the

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

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.

COF~4UNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT PRELIMINARy APPLICATION
FISCAL YEAR 1994-95 - The adoption of the Preliminary Statement
of Community Development Objectives and Projected Use of Funds
for the Community Development Block Grant Application for Fiscal
Year 1994-95, based on a grant of $800,000
Staff recommends that the City Council take the following actions:
Receive for public input the Preliminary Statement of Community
Development Objectives and Projected Use of Funds for fiscal
year 1994-95.
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.

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. HUD regulations require that the City Council consider alternatives.
Staff's recommendations for alternatives and mitigation measures are presented

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.

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.

21. Mandatory Findings of Significance.
Does the project have the potential
to degrade the quality of the
environment, substantially reduce
the habitat of a fish or wildlife
species, cause a fish or wildlife
population to drop below self
sustaining levels, threaten to
eliminate a plant or animal or
eliminate important examples of
the major periods of California
history or prehistory?.
Does the project have the potential
to achieve short-term, to the
disadvantage of long-term, environ-
mental goals? (A short-term
impact on the environment is one
which occurs in a relatively bdef,
definitive period of time while long-
term impacts will endure well into
the future.)
Does the project have impacts which
are individually limited, but cumu-
latively considerable? (A project's
impact on two or more separate
resources may be relatively small,
but where the effect of the total of
those impacts on the environment

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Statement of Irwin B. 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.

I. 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. All but 40,000 square feet of GLA hss been signed up by the

Finanaiu~ The problem of ~uancin~ commef~'isl improvements with
industrial !and use/specific plan (zoninS) on the site. Perceptions by the
commeciml real estate development industry and financial repremntativee: thst
the sits is indutxial end not useful for commercial.
Offlee/Industrial Slut of space: The market for ~fflce and industrial uses
will take a lon~ time measured in years to absorb existing vacant office and
industrial space as well develop all of the raw acreage presently planned for

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

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.

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.

Avenue in the are of the Masi Commerce Center and its surroundin2s.

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~

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

INTRODUCTION
A. 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~=. Jer~,e~y li94.

the development of the Project site. These include the General Plan of Land
Use, the Industrial Specific Plan (Subarea 7) and the Development Cede.
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).

C. ASSUMPTIONS
A number of smp_,mptions and q,mlll~cafions to the sns!ysis have been msde. 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.
Common knowledge, experience, andjudgement were used to identify the trade
area potentisls and to the ]and use and piAnnln,,~ considerations.

A. 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

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.

A basic prindple of commercial development is simply that the commercial
devempment follows the remdenfial growth. 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 Project site is located at what will become in the future a
msjor intersection with over 1,321 feet of frontage on Foothill BouJevard.
5. 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.

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

development as it occurs on the ground.

IV. 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)

I - STAN'DA,x~D APPLICATIO~ FOR FEDEI~L ASSISTANCE
The Preliminary and Final Statements of Objectives and Projected Use of
Funds are the primary documents intended to provide the residents of the
City Of Rancho Cucamonga with an opportunity to review and co=:nent upon
the ways in which funds from the Couununity Development Block Grant
(CDBG) program are to be used to support neighborhood improvement
activities throughout the City. 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.

POTENTIAL IJ~PACTS TO FLOODFI~INS AND pI{OPOu~sj M_~IGATION MEASUMMS
Under Federal Executive Order, the City of Rancho Cucamonga iss required
to protect floodplains and to reduce the risk of losses from floods by
not conducting, supporting, or allowing activities to take place in
floodplains unless the activities constitute the only practical
alternatives to meeting community needs.
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-

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
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

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 general location on a map and approximate number of
dwelling units by number of bedrooms that will be
provided as replacement dwelling units.
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. The regulations
require the City to adopt and make public its definition of
"substantial change." The City of Rancho Cucamsnga shall consider
a "substantial change" to have occurred Under the following
circ-mntances :
-24-
l- The amount to be allocated to any activity is proposed to be
increased or decreased from the amount in the Final Statement
by more than 25 percent.
2- The location of the activity, target area, or eligibility
criteria of the program, is changed from that described in the
Final Statement.
3. An activity not included in the Final Statement is proposed
for funding.
4. An activity included in the Final Statement is proposed for
elimination or cessation.

Committed to Eliminating
Hunger and Homelessness
in Our Communities
Overview
The Pomona-Inland Valley Council of Churches
(PIVCC), organized in ]967, is comprised of 79
member churches that work with synagogues and
community groups to address hunger and
homelessness in the community.

unemployment have critically affected economi-
cally disadvantaged members of the community.
PIVCC responds to their needs with direct ser-
vices such as food and shelter, and identifies the
root causes of their problems so conditions can
be changed.
PIVCC provides a variety of services
to help families and individuals
struggling in poverty. In 1992, PIVCC
programs assisted 62,066 people.
The Council .of ChurcheS' programs help people
of all ages, ethnic origins, and religious denomi-
nations. Over 50% of the individuals served by
our programs are children.

The Spirit of Volunteerism
Nearly 250 special people spend their
time working in PIVCC's hunger,
shelter, or administrative programs
every month. 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. Here's the schedule of

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."

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.

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,

explores the theme, "Go, See, and
Act." A video of a Palestinian family

"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."
The Bible tells us, "a good man out of
'the treasure of the heart bringeth
forth good things." Volunteer
involvement provides the essential
support which allows the program to
maintain its current level of efficiency,
and to continue programmatic
development.
In short, "they bring forth good
things." I salute all of you, and thank
you for bringing us strength and
SUCCESS,

task of getting this newsletter out to
you, our readers. As you can
imagine, this takes some doing. After
the newsletter is picked up from the
printer, it is collated, folded, stapled,
and labeled. Sounds easy? It's not --
especially if you have to do it over
2,000 times!
Mona Currie, Christine Whittaker,
Mary Wilson, Ed Waite, Emma Butt,
Virginia Angell, Sherry Glab -- what do
all these people have in common?
Without them, you wouldn't be
reading this! Getting this newsletter
out each month is a huge job, and we
are blessed with wonderful volunteers
who come in and cheerfully work until
the 'job is done.
If you would like to join this
"exclusive group," please call 622-
3806.

Willa McClain Comes on Board as
Volunteer Coordinator
On January 24, Willa McClain joined
the PIVCC staff as Volunteer
Coordinator.
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!

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.

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.

Description:
The proposed rehabilitation of 10 homes in the North Town area
of Runcho Cucamonga. Loans or grants arc anticipatcd to

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.

small home repairs. The program will be available to low income

health and safety items. With City approval a one time grant of
up to $200 will be allowed.

$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.

increase in funding.
Staff recommends funding this program at $8,000.

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

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.
