ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT AND TENTATIVE TRACT 15492—KAUFMAN & BROAD OF
SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA. INC. —A proposed subdivision of 33.3 acres of land into 172 lots for
single-family homes and 4 lettered lots for trail and landscaping purposes, in the Low-Medium
Residential District(4-8 dwelling units per acre)of the Terra Vista Community Plan, located at the
southeast corner of Milliken Avenue and Terra Vista Parkway-APN: 227-151-22.
Design Parameters: The project is subject to the Terra Vista Community Plan regulations, which
designates a greenway trail connection north-to-south through the middle of the block. Tentative
Tract 15492 is located south of Central Park Plaza (Ralphs) and a vacant parcel zoned Medium-
High. To the east are single-family neighborhoods and Terra Vista Elementary School. To the
south,along Mountain View Drive, is single-family residential(Low-Medium),a vacant parcel zoned
Medium-High, and multi-family residential (Medium); and lying west of Milliken Avenue is existing
attached residential dwellings (Low-Medium)and single-family residential (Low-Medium).
The three sides of the site perimeter are bound by improved streets including curbs and gutters.
The site slopes gently from north to south at approximately 2 percent gradient. A steep-sided gully
exists in the eastern third of the site with average depth of 4 feet. At one time, run-off from north of
Base Line Road concentrated at this gully; however, construction and associated drainage
improvements in the area north of Base Line Road has eliminated this concentration. The existing
vegetation on the site has been regularly mowed; hence, the site is sparsely covered with scrub
vegetation and grasses; no trees are present on the site.
Staff Comments: The following comments are intended to provide an outline for Committee
discussion.
Maior Issues: The following broad design issues will be the focus of Committee discussion
regarding this project:
1. Widen greenway trail beyond the minimum of 15-feet in width. Other 15-foot greenway trails
in Terra Vista have not been successful because they are too narrow. It is difficult to
maneuver the pathway to provide landscaping along both sides of the trail,which provides a
pleasant walking experience along the trail route. The 15-foot minimum trail width is intended
for short distances. The creation of the long narrow corridor was not the intent of the Master
Plan.
Staff Recommendation: Staff recommends applicant subject to revisions to the greenway trail.
Design Review Committee Action:
Members Present: John Mannerino, Pam Stewart, Dan Coleman
Staff Planner: Debra Meier
The Committee recommended approval subject to widening the greenway trail to an average of
20 feet wide.

5:30 p.m. Rudy Zeledon December 5, 2000
ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT AND CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT 00-43—C.R.H.O. —The
development of a five-story office building totaling 74,697 square feet on approximately 2 acres of
land in Industrial Park District (Subarea 6) of the Industrial Area Specific Plan, located at the
southeast corner of Haven Avenue and Arrow Route - APN: 209-491-01.
Background: The Planning Commission originally approved this proposed project on June 22, 1988.
The project site was graded; however,due to the severe impact of the recession in the early 1990s,
the project was halted and the application later expired.The applicant has re-submitted the project,
which is identical to the previously approved project.
Design Parameters: The two-acre site is part of an approximately 28-acre Master Plan, which
encompasses land from Arrow Route to Jersey Boulevard and Haven Avenue to Utica Avenue. The
site is surrounded to the north by a commercial shopping center, to the east by vacant land, to the
west(across Haven Avenue)by vacant land and to the south by an office building. The site slopes
from north to south at approximately 1.5 percent. The individual lot is currently vacant with sparse
native grass, weeds and one tree present. There is a large indentation in the ground at the
northwest portion, due to the previous grading on the site for underground parking. The street
frontages along both Haven Avenue and Arrow Route are improved with curb and gutter and no
sidewalks. Access to the site will be through existing drive approaches on Haven Avenue and Arrow
Route.
The project will consist of a five-story office building totaling 74,697 square foot. The building is
configured and oriented to face the northwest corner of Haven Avenue and Arrow Route. The front
area of the building will feature a plaza area to promote and provide convenient pedestrian
movement from Haven Avenue and Arrow Route. Parking and circulation areas will be along the
rear of the building away from street frontage. In addition, underground parking is being proposed to
address parking requirements due to the high intensity of office use.
The architecture design of the building is consistent with the goals and objectives of the Haven
Avenue Overlay District. The front and rear of the building are well articulated with arched entrances
that feature the use of gray granite the and spandrel glass at the building plane. The first and
second floors of the building (along the east and west elevations) will consist of a gray granite tile
with black granite tile wainscoting around base of the entire building. The exterior material for 3rd,
4th and 5th floors will consist of aluminum and spandrel glass panels.
Staff Comments: The following comments are intended to provide an outline for Committee
discussion:
As mentioned above,this project was previously approved Planning Commission on June 22, 1988
and this re-submitted application is identical to the previously approved project. Below is a list of
conditions of approval placed upon the project by the Design Review Committee on June 2, 1988,
which staff feels should be applied and discussed at this meeting:
1. Underground parking level—Staff is concerned with the locations of the ingress and egress
and the emergency exits, as they are so close to each other, which could create traffic
conflicts during emergency. Therefore, the ingress/egress to the underground parking
facility should be expanded to three lanes (minimum 40 feet wide).
2. Landscaped planter(a minimum 5-foot inside dimension) areas should be provided within
the above ground parking lot at the ends of the parking rows.

3. Canopy trees should be provided within the deck parking area and plaza areas.
4. All trees for the project should be box-sized specimens to accommodate the building mass.
5. Public art shall be provided at the northwest corner of the building (plaza area)and subject
to City Planner review and approval.
Trash enclosure should be re-located from its proposed location to an area that provides for better
trash bin access and trash truck maneuvering.
Staff Recommendation: Approval, subject to revisions being addressed with staff, prior to
Planning Commission..
Design Review Committee Action:
Members Present: John Mannerino, Pam Stewart, Dan Coleman
Staff Planner: Rudy Zeledon
The Committee reviewed the project and recommended approval subject to staffs comments with
the following changes:
1. The proposed location of the trash enclosure is acceptable and does not have to be relocated.

ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT AND TENTATIVE TRACT 16147 - LENNAR HOMES - A
request to subdivide 47.9 acres of land into 70 lots for the purpose of single family home
construction in the Very Low Residential District (1-2 dwelling units per acre) of the Etiwanda
Specific Plan located on the southwest corner of Etiwanda and Summit Avenues—APN: 225-171-
05, 12, 13, 20, 22, and 25.
Design Parameters: The site is currently vacant and gradually slopes from north to south at
approximately 6 percent. There is an existing home, shown as Not-A-Part, in the middle of the
project's frontage along Etiwanda Avenue. The land to the north is primarily vacant with a few
scattered homes. The site is surrounded by single-family homes to the east and west (under
construction). There is a 300-foot wide strip of land separating this project from the future
210 Foothill Freeway to the south. A Community Trail is required along Summit Avenue within the
parkway, and a Class I Bike Path is required within parkway along Etiwanda Avenue. Local feeder
trails are required for access to the rear of each lot. Although no homes are proposed at this time,
the lots are designed for homes to face Etiwanda with only two lots to allow driveway access on
Etiwanda Avenue.
The project is subject to the Very Low Residential standards of the Etiwanda Specific Plan, which
require a minimum lot size of 20,000 square feet and a minimum average lot size of 25,000 square
feet(25,207 square feet average proposed). The project site is also located within the Equestrian
Overlay District and Etiwanda Avenue Overlay District. A Conditional Use Permit is required for all
proposed developments within the Etiwanda Avenue Overlay District.
The site contains several large Eucalyptus trees, which appear to be remnant windrows. The
Etiwanda Specific Plan requires windrows along Etiwanda Avenue and Summit Avenue to be
preserved and allows others to be removed subject to replacement. An Arborist Study for the trees
indicates that many are marginally worthy of preservation and about two-thirds are not worthy of
preservation. The project proposes to remove all or some of the trees and replace with new
windrow planting consistent with Etiwanda Specific Plan requirements.
Staff Comments: The following comments are intended to provide.:an outline for Committee
discussion:
Major Issues: Staff feels there are no major design issues. The applicant has diligently worked with
staff to address major concerns regarding Etiwanda Avenue character, lot layout and access points.
The attached Concept Plan shows how homes could be plotted with their front facing Etiwanda
Avenue.
Secondary Issues: Once all of the major issues have been addressed, and time permitting, the
Committee will discuss the following secondary design issues:
1. Trails—There are several staff concerns regarding trail locations thatwill be reviewed bythe
Trails Advisory Committee.
Policy Issues: The following item is a matter of Planning Commission policy and should be
incorporated into the project design without discussion:
1. Show access ramps on the Grading Plan from private equestrian easements to the corrals
per Planning Commission Resolution No. 88-226. Maximum slope gradient of 5:1 and a
minimum width of 10 feet.

2. Clearly delineate on the Grading Plan the 24-foot x 24-foot corral area,and a 70-foot radius
there from, for each lot per Planning Commission Resolution No. 88-226.
3. Existing Eucalyptus windrows along Etiwanda Avenue and Summit Avenue shall be
preserved or replaced per Etiwanda Specific Plan Section 5.41.200. This allows removal of
individual diseased or damaged trees so long as they are replaced with 15-gallon minimum
Spotted Gum Eucalyptus trees. All other existing on-site Eucalyptus windrows shall be
replaced with 5-gallon Spotted Gum Eucalyptus trees planted 8 feet on center in accordance
with Etiwanda Specific Plan Sections 5.41.400 and 500.
Staff Recommendations: Staff recommends that the Design Review Committee recommend
approval of the project subject to the above comments.

request to subdivide 15 acres of land into 21 lots for the purpose of single family home construction
in the Estate Residential District(.1-1 dwelling units per acre)of the Etiwanda Specific Plan located
on the east side of East Avenue, north of 23rd Street—APN: 225-131-16.
Design Parameters: The site is currently vacant and gradually slopes from north to south at
approximately 5-6 percent. Along the north and east property lines is vacant/undeveloped land. To
the south is Park. West of the project area is East Avenue. A 20-foot public Community Trail is
required along the east project boundary, and 15-foot private local feeder trail easements are
required for access to the rear of each lot. No homes are proposed at this time.
The project is subject to the Very Low Residential standards of the Etiwanda Specific Plan, which

Staff Comments: The following comments are intended to provide an outline for Committee
discussion:
Major Issues: The following broad issues will be the focus of the Committee's discussion regarding
this project:
1. Study lot layout and corral locations. Some lots may be difficult or impossible to build homes
on because house footprint would violate Development Code requirement of a 70-foot
setback from corral areas. This includes Lots 1, 2, 4, 6, and 10 (see attached).
2. The developer is proposing an Alternate Lot Configuration at the north end of"B"Street as
shown on Grading Plan. Staff does not support this concept because it does not provide
secondary access for this tract or for future residential development to the north.
Policy Issues: The following item is a matter of Planning Commission policy and should be
incorporated into the project design without discussion:
1. Planning Commission Resolution No. 88-226 requires access ramps from the trail

CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT 00-33 — HIX HOMES — A request to construct an 86 unit, four
building, single-story, 43,618 square foot elderly care facility on 2.91 acres in the Medium
Residential District(8-14 dwelling units per acre), located on the north side of 19th Street, between
Amethyst Street and Hellman Avenue—APN: 201-474-04, 05 and 06.
Design Parameters: The site area is generally flat with a slight slope from the northwest corner to
the southeast corner. The site is currently vacant with native trees and grasses present. Four
mature Palm trees exist on the property and are designated to be relocated on-site and incorporated
into the Landscape Plan. To the north of the property is a senior apartment complex, and to the
south(across 19th Street)are single-family residences. East of the property is a proposed daycare
center, and to the west is an existing town home development. There are presently structures
located on the two westerly parcels consisting of one detached garaged and two single-family
residences, built in 1953. The identified structures are proposed to be demolished.
The project will be developed in two phases, on two equal lots. Phase II will be a mirrored image of
Phase I, with a driveway and parking area centered between the two phases. Each phase will
include two single-story buildings of 21,809 square feet. The facility is designed for elderly
individuals, most of which are 80 years old. The facility is not an apartment or independent living
facility. The facility will provide the residents with full assistance in the daily activities of living
including, bathing, dressing, grooming, and eating. The facility will be licensed by the State of
California for such purposes.
Project amenities in each phase will include a dining area, living room area with aviary and piano,
recreation/arts and crafts area, library, laundry facilities, beauty salon/barber shop, full centralized
kitchen, office space and storage area for extra furniture and equipment. An activities director will
be available to plan and organize hobbies, demonstrations and off-site shopping excursions in the
facility van. There is ample outdoor area for exercise, an outdoor_centr_aUandscaped courtyard_......._.
area, which is completely surrounded by a covered walkway. Furnished with benches and patio
furniture, there are also a number of large covered areas available for out door seating, away from
direct sunlight. Areas will be available in the central courtyard for residents to tend to small flower
gardens, and enjoy a putting green. Residents in the facility will be ambulatory.
The buildings will include a stucco finish with "El Dorado" stacked stone treatment and a "shake
blend" concrete tile roof. The project will be surrounded with a 6-foot high slump-stone wall on the
north, east, and west sides, with wrought iron and stacked stone column returns on the south (19th
Street)side. The applicant has worked closely with staff to resolve many design issues associated
with the project.
Staff Comments: The following comments are intended to provide an outline for Committee
discussion.
Manor Issues: The following broad.design issues will be the focus of Committee discussion
regarding this project:
1. Articulate east and west building elevations of Buildings 1-C and 2-C respectively,to eliminate
long continuous plane and flat roofline. Staff would suggest raising the proposed "sectioned"
parapet above the flat roofline, and adding column treatment similar to those used on
Building A.
2. Buildings 2-A, 2-13, and 2-C should be mirrored images of Buildings 1-A, 1-13, and 1-C,
including all architectural features and treatments. Project elevations should be revised
accordingly.

3. Continue stacked stone treatment along the base of the east elevation of Building 2-C.
Secondary Issues: Once all of the major issues have been addressed, and time permitting, the
Committee will discuss the following secondary design issues:
1. Incorporate the four existing Palm trees on-site into the landscape design. Staff would
suggest re-planting the Palm trees along the 19th Street frontage(bermed landscaped area)
or grouped on both sides of the proposed drive approach.
2. Provide more trees and decorative landscaping throughout project to add visual interest and
further reduce the impact of the long rooflines.
Staff Recommendation: Staff recommends that the Design Review Committee approve the project
subject to the modifications as recommended above.
Design Review Committee Action:
Members Present: Larry McNiel, Pam Stewart, Dan Coleman
Staff Planner: Kirt Coury
The Committee reviewed the project and asked what brought the style of architecture to the
development. The applicant responded that he likes to develop a pedestrian friendly project and
that seniors are partial to single-story structures.
Commissioner McNiel asked the applicant if he had any issues with staff's comments. The applicant
addressed concerns with Major Issue Item No. 1, with relation to the roof-line. The applicant
revealed that the single-story building made it difficult to vary the roof-line, and that the recessed
building and parapet sections provided visual relief.
The Committee felt the architecture was satisfactory to the area and recommended approval of the
project.
