ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESMENT AND DEVELOPMENT REVIEW 00-15 - GAINEY
TRANSPORTATION-The development of a 19,067 square foot truck maintenance facility onto an
existing truck transportation facility on 10.42 acres of land in the General Industrial District(Subarea
8) of the Industrial Area Specific Plan, located at 10807 Jersey Boulevard-APN: 209-143-08.
Design Parameters: The site is a 10.42 acre previously developed parcel with an office in front and
a paved parking area in the rear for truck storage. The existing office building was constructed
before City incorporation and features a tile mansard roof. The proposal is to construct a 4- bay
maintenance facility with a wash bay, parts storage, fuel island, driver's facilities and management
offices with tractor/trailer repair and service. The maintenance facility also incorporates
approximately 1700 square feet of storage, an equipment room, and a break room for truck drivers.
Truck access will continue to use the existing driveway on the northwest corner of site.
Staff Comments: The following comments are intended to provide an outline for Committee
discussion.
Major Issues: There are no major design issues. The applicant has worked diligently to resolve
design issues.
Secondary Issues: Once all major issues have been addressed, and time permitting, the
Committee will discuss the following secondary design issues:
1. Provide canopy trees within new parking area at a rate of 1 tree for every 3 parking stalls. A
minimum of 20 trees is required by Code (59 stalls divided by 3 = 20 trees).
2. The Industrial Area Specific Plan requires trees around the new building at a rate of 1 tree per
30 linear feet. Staff believes that this could interfere with functionality of this maintenance
facility; therefore, recommends that landscaping be concentrated at the front entryway of the
new building. A planter should be provided between handicap parking spaces and building,
and extend across the width of the office areas.
3. Screen existing gated entrance from street by planting accent trees at the northwest corner
of site along Jersey Boulevard.
Staff Recommendation: Staff recommends that the Committee approve the project subject to the
minor modifications as recommended above.
Design Review Committee Action:
Members Present: Larry McNiel, Pam Stewart, Dan Coleman
Staff Planner: Emily Wimer
The Committee reviewed the project and recommended approval subject to staffs comments.

ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT AND DEVELOPMENT REVIEW 00-05 — SCRIPTO TOKAI —
The development of a 120,620 square foot industrial building on 8.3 acres of land, within the
Rancho Cucamonga Corporate Park, a master planned development by Catellus, which is in
Subarea 7 (Industrial Park) of the Industrial Area Specific Plan, located south of Foothill Boulevard,
east of Milliken Avenue —APN: 229-011-32.
Design Parameters: The site is located within the Catellus Master Plan area which was approved
by Planning Commission in April of 1999. The site slopes from north to south at approximately
2 percent. The Lowe's Home Improvement store site is currently being graded to the west of the
site and GATX Building A is nearly completed to the south. The Masi Plaza automotive repair uses
are under construction to the east. A six-foot high masonry wall is planned along Masi's west
property line (east property line of site) which will provide screening. The building design
incorporates the basic geometric and archway patterns that were established by the GATX
buildings. The anticipated business activity involves large container truck loading which would
occur on the south side of the building behind a screen wall. The building will be visually prominent
from Foothill Boulevard, especially while the land to the north remains vacant.
Staff Comments: The following comments are intended to provide an outline for Committee
discussion.
Major Issues: The applicant has been working with staff to resolve design issues. There are no
major outstanding design issues.
Secondary Issues: Once all of the major issues have been addressed, and time permitting, the
Committee will discuss the following secondary design issues:
1. Provide additional canopy trees within central parking area to provide shading of 50 percent
of pavement at maturity of tree canopy. Suggest four tree wells in diamond shape.
2. Provide a solid concrete tilt-up screen wall along the north property line to provide visual
separation between the industrial building and future, potentially more commercial oriented
uses to the north. Wall design should include architectural elements compatible with building
design.
2. Provide wall returns for vertical change of plane to convey a sense of depth.
3. Wrap reveal treatment so that no reveals terminate at exterior corners.
4. Provide glazing within arches at south end of west wall to match reminder of wall and south
wall treatment and provide enhanced entry statement (entry to site is at southwest corner).
5. Wall surface treatment, such as glass columns and archway details, should be inset at least
one to two feet to convey sense of depth and enhance wall surface articulation.
6. Provide berms along west screen wall so that no more than 8 feet of wall is exposed.
7. Security/entry gate shall be automatically operated so that it is open the minimum length of
time to allow truck ingress/egress.
8. Guard House design shall be architecturally compatible with building.

Policy Issues: The following items are a matter of Planning Commission policy and should be
incorporated into the project design without discussion:
1. All roof and ground mounted equipment shall be fully screened from surrounding property and
streets. This may require increasing parapet height given roof ridge elevation.
2. Provide at least one tree per 30 linear feet of building wall exposed to public view plus one
tree per 30 linear feet of site perimeter, and one tree per 3 parking spaces to provide shade.
This is a minimum landscaping requirement. Additional trees to enhance the main entry
points and complement the building architecture shall be provided.
3. Provide shade, tables and chairs within employee outdoor eating area consistent with the
GATX project/Catellus Master Plan.
4. Provide decorative driveway paving consistent with Catellus Master Plan provisions.
Staff Recommendation: Staff recommends approval subject to the above.
Design Review Committee Action:
Members Present: Larry McNiel, Pam Stewart, Dan Coleman
Staff Planner: Brent Le Count
• The Committee recommended approval subject to staff's comments with the following additional
comments:
1. The Committee will accept a 2 to 3-foot high solid concrete wall along the north property line
with decorative wrought iron above if it can be demonstrated that the site to the north can be
graded to approximately match the grade of the Script-Tokai site. If the site to the north is
graded, it shall be hydroseeded in the interim to control dust.
2. It is not necessary to provide glazing within archway features at south end of west elevation.
Instead, provide heavier arched trim element to cast shadow and provide surface relief.
