7:00 p.m. Emily Cameron July 11, 2006
DEVELOPMENT REVIEW DRC2006-00098 - LENNAR HOMES OF CALIFORNIA - A request
for architectural review of 114 homes for Rancho ,Etiwanda Estates (APN: 0225-071-47,
0225-081-09, 0225-071-51, and 0225-081-14). Staff has found the project to be within the
scope of the project covered by a prior Environmental Impact Report (State Clearinghouse
#88082915 and #98121091 certified by the City Council on August 1, 2001) and does not raise
or create new environmental impacts not already considered in that Environmental Impact
Report.
Background: On August 1, 2001, the City Council approved Development Agreement DA01-01.
This agreement is for the Rancho Etiwanda Estates, a 632 lot Master Planned Community
encompassing approximately 249 acres. The Development Agreement requires the applicants
to develop within substantial compliance with the Etiwanda North Specific Plan, incorporating
the architecture and design details of the Etiwanda area. Requirements include side on
garages, recessed garages, exterior siding, and specific architectural styles.
The Development Agreement required the Low Residential requirements for all lots within this
tract. The property was rough graded in June of 2004, and infrastructure was installed. The
master developer has agreed to install the main'access of the gated community, as well as the
decorative perimeter walls. These walls will be consistent throughout the entire master planned
community. The site is bordered by Etiwanda Avenue to the west, Stillwater Place to the south,
and the Southern California Edison Corridor to the northeast and northwest.
Design Parameters: The project site is located within the "Upper Etiwanda" neighborhood,
which has its own unique architectural design guidelines per the Etiwanda North Specific Plan
(ENSP). The ENSP requires that a mix of the following primary architectural styles be used for
at least two-thirds of the units: Bungalow, Ranch, Monterey, or San Juan. Up to one-third of the
units may use these styles: Country, Victorian, or Santa Barbara Revival. The proposed homes
are two-story with one floor plan which incorporates significant single-story elements. A total of
17 homes (15 percent) of the proposed house product will be a single-story with vaulted
ceilings.
"Upper Etiwanda" Architectural Styles
Primary Styles per Secondary Styles per Proposed Styles
ENSP ENSP
Bungalow
Ranch
Monterey Monterey 38%
San Juan San Juan 34%
Country Count 25%
Victorian
Santa Barbara Revival Santa Barbara Revival 3%
The two-story plans have been designed with 3 floor plans and four architectural styles. The
proposed architectural styles are Santa Barbara, San Juan, Monterey, and Country. The
single-story Monterey elevation incorporates a stucco finish with wrought iron accents, as the
San Juan elevation incorporate a large amount of stacked stone, wrought iron detail, and
recessed windows. The two-story elevations are more expansive in details, including front

balconies,,courtyards, additional wrought iron and rock work. The Monterey style incorporates
shutter detail and a front balcony. Although the Country elevation uses the same level of detail,
this elevation seems to replicate the same color scheme as the San Juan and Monterey
elevations.
The majority of the homes have only optional extended porches, courtyards, and standard front
balconies on the two-story homes. The upgraded features are proposed on the corner lots only.
All homes incorporate decorative garage doors and chimneys to match the architectural style of
the home. The developer is proposing to build the homes in 10 phases with four model homes.
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. Articulate all sides of all houses to avoid two-story "box-on-box" appearance. Although
some of the floor plans have significant movement of wall planes, the following elevations
lack sufficient articulation: Plan 1 right side; Plan 3 left and right sides.
Secondary Issues: Once all of the major issues have been addressed, and time permitting, the
Committee will discuss the following secondary design issues:
1. Plan 2E of the Country elevation is very similar in color to the San Juan and Monterey
elevations. Staff recommends lightening the color palette to incorporate colors such as
off-white, tans, or beige, instead of the San Juan-themed browns. The proposed rock
work on the Country elevation should vary drastically from the San Juan elevation.
2. The Optional courtyard proposed shall be provided as a standard feature on 25 percent of
the homes.
3. Provide extended porches as a standard feature on 25 percent of the homes as well. For
example, the Plan 4 Monterey porch is only 3 feet deep, which is too shallow to be
functional.
4. Provide additional shutters and wood/wrought iron details on the sides and rear elevation
of the Plan 2A of the Monterey Elevation and Plan 2B of the San Juan elevations.
Policy Issues: The following items are a matter of Planning Commission policy and should be
incorporated into the project design without discussion:
1. Boulders from the project site shall be utilized and integrated as part of the front yard
Landscape Plan per the Master Plan Resolution of Approval.
2. Driveways shall be scored in a pattern for additional entryway detail.
3. All corner side walls shall be setback 12 feet from the curb at the sidewalk if the property
line is adjacent.

4. Provide a dark accent color for all kickers below the roofline.
5. Provide a finished cap (with finial) on all proposed gang mailboxes.
Staff Recommendation: Staff recommends that the Design Review Committee recommend
approval of the project subject to the above revisions.
Staff Recommendation: Staff recommends approval.
Design Review Committee Action:
Members Present: McPhail, Stewart, Coleman
Staff Planner: Emily Cameron
The Committee recommended revisions and provide specific comments on each plan. The
Committee requested that the revisions return as a Consent Calendar Item on July 18, 2006.
DESIGN REVIEW COMMENTS
7:00 p.m. Jennifer Fechner July 18, 2006
CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT DRC2006-00352 - CINGULAR WIRELESS - A request to replace
an existing 50-foot high monopole wireless communication facility with a 70-foot high monopine
for the purposes of co-location in the Low-Medium Residential District, located at
6627 Amethyst Street - APN: 0202-101-11.
Design Parameters: The project site is located on the south side of Fire Station #171 on
Amethyst Avenue. The site is approximately 80 feet east of the curb face of Amethyst Avenue.
The applicant is proposing to remove an existing 50-foot monopole and construct a 70-foot
monopine, for the purposes of co-locating with two existing wireless carriers, enhancing cellular
communication service for Cingular Wireless in the area. The proposed antennas, consisting of
a total of 12 antenna panels, will be mounted on the pole at approximately 49 feet above the
grade. In addition, Cingular will mount one parabolic antenna at approximately 35 feet above
grade. The existing wireless carriers, Sprint and T-Mobile, will be mounted at approximately 57
feet and 65 feet above grade, respectively. Artificial branches, designed to resemble a Pine
tree, will be installed, and the cylindrical pole will be embellished with a rubberized faux bark
material made to imitate a tree trunk, thereby, providing a "stealth" design.
The wireless communication facility is classified as a major wireless communication facility
because of its location on public land. Major wireless communication facilities are not permitted
to be locate within 300 feet of any residential structure or within 300 feet of any existing major
wireless communication facility, except when co-located on the same wireless facility. The
proposed wireless communication facility is within 300 feet of the Rudolph Hendrickson senior
apartments and market rate apartments to the east, but because it will be co-locating with two
existing carriers, it meets the City's criteria for a major wireless communication facility. In
addition, the proposed monopine will be replacing an existing monopole, which is currently a
non-stealth, legal non-conforming site. The proposed equipment will be housed in a
prefabricated structure which will be partially covered by an existing 4-foot high perimeter wall.
The proposed Cingular facility meets the screening and site selection guidelines for wireless
communication facilities by providing stealth type design and evaluating three other locations
that ultimately did not prove feasible.
Staff Comments: The following comments are intended to provide an outline for Committee
discussion.
Major Issues: The following broad design issues will be the focus of Committee discussion
regarding this project.
1. Plant a Canary Island Pine tree within the lawn area in front of station to help screen
pre-fabricated equipment shelter.
Staff Recommendation: Staff recommends that the Design Review Committee review and
approve the project subject.
Design Review Committee Action: The Committee recommended approval of the project as
presented.
Members Present: McPhail, Stewart, Coleman
Staff Planner: Jennifer Fechner
DESIGN REVIEW COMMENTS
7:20 p.m. Vance Pomeroy July 18, 2006
HILLSIDE REVIEW DRC2005-00997 - MICHAEL E. MULLIGAN - Review of a 5,975 square
foot single-family residence in the Very Low Residential Zone (.1 to 2 dwelling units per acre),
located on Canistel Avenue, north of Hillside Road - APN: 1074-491-28.
Design Parameters: The proposed project is a single-family home subject to design review by
the Design Review Committee (DRC) because it is located on a "hillside" parcel with a slope of
8 percent or greater. The project site is a cross-slope lot on the east side of Canistel Avenue
with single-family homes on all sides and across the street. The neighborhood is filled mostly
with lots improved with single-family homes. The proposed house is at the maximum
25 percent lot coverage allowed in the zone. The house is located within the Deer Creek
Estates neighborhood and should be approved by their Homeowner's Association.
Staff Comments: The following comments are intended to provide an outline for Committee
discussion.
The owner of the property has worked closely with staff to work out all the technical and design
issues. The project has improved the level of quality and compliance; however, further attention
to materials is necessary.
Major Issues: The following broad design issues will be the focus of Committee discussion
regarding this project:
1. Revise the side elevations to comply with the City .policy requiring "360-degree
architecture." Materials, features, massing, detailing, etc. must be found on all elevations,
rather than only on the front. Any details used for the roof trim, window surrounds, window
shape, and the like, must be employed on all elevations.
2. Extend the stone veneer to the top of columns at the west elevation front entry. Also, add
to the columns on the living room patio cover (east elevation).
Staff Recommendation: Staff recommends approval with the changes noted in the comments
above.
Design Review Committee Action: The Committee recommended approval of the project with
no modifications.

ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT AND TENTATIVE TRACT MAP SUBTT17651 - TAVA
DEVLOPMENT COMPANY - A request to subdivide 41 acres of land into 57 single-family lots
within the Very Low Residential District (.1 to 2 dwelling units per acre), located on the south
side of Banyan Street, approximately 1,220 feet east of East Avenue - APN: 0225-191-012.
Related File: Tree Removal Permit DRC2006-00174.
Design Parameters: The project site is located on Banyan Street, east of East Avenue. The
project has no elevations or architecture to review. The tentative tract map creates 56 parcels
totaling 41 acres.
The 41-acre site is undeveloped and contains sparse vegetation and mature Eucalyptus trees.
The project site drains to the southeast. To the north, south, east, and west are vacant parcels.
To the northwest is the Summit Intermediate School. All properties to the north, south, east,
and west are zoned Very Low Residential (.1-2 dwelling units per acre). The applicant is
proposing removal and replacement of trees on-site.
The Very Low Residential District (1-2 dwelling units per acre) requires a minimum net lot size
of 20,000 square feet and a minimum average net lot size of 22,500 square feet. The applicant
is proposing minimum net lot size of 20,636 and an average net lot size of 25,039 square feet.
The project site is located within an Equestrian Overlay District that requires a trail system. The
applicant has designed the project so that each lot is adjacent to a Local Feeder Trail and can
accommodate a minimum size corral of 24-foot by 24-foot and comply with applicable
Development Code setbacks. The tentative tract map provides Local Feeder Trails within the
proposed project and a Community Trail along Banyan Street, proposed street "E" Street, and
proposed street "F" Street.
In response to access issues raised by adjacent property owners to the east at the previous
Design Review Meeting, the applicant was asked by the Committee to revise the plans to
resolve these issues. The applicant has revised the tentative tract map to allow access for the
adjacent property owners to the east to gain access to Banyan Street through proposed "A"
Street. The revised tentative tract map resulted in one less lot for a new total of 56 single-family
lots.
Staff Comments: The following comments are intended to provide an outline for Committee
discussion.
Major Issues: There are no major issues at this time.
Secondary Issues: There are no secondary issues at this time.
Policy Issues: The following items are a matter of Planning Commission policy and should be
incorporated into the project design without discussion.
1. The project shall meet all Development Code Requirements.
