ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT AND DESIGN REVIEW DR00-79 - ZION ENTERPRISES, LLC - A
request to modify the "Rancho Cucamonga Town Square Master Plan", a mixed use project of
approximately 414 apartment units, lofts over retail, retail, and professional office uses, on 31.5 acres of
land in the Haven Overlay District of the Industrial Area Specific Plan, located at the southwest corner of

The applicant, Zion Enterprises, LLC proposes to eliminate a previously approved decorative water
feature that was to be constructed between the proposed retail and office buildings and replace it with
two art pieces (one located in front of each building) of a design that is to be determined. The two
proposed buildings are at the southeast corner of the "Rancho Cucamonga Town Square Master Plan"
and are the final phase of the master plan. Staff requests a determination from the Committee whether
the new locations and type of artwork are an acceptable solution. The final design of the artwork, once
determined, will return for review by the Committee.
Note: The applicant is also proposing to "break" the remaining phase into two separate phases.
However, this is not part of the discussion and will be brought to the Committee for review at a later date.
Design Review Committee Action:
Members Present: Munoz, Stewart, Nicholson
Staff Planner: Mike Smith
The applicant, Gary Martin of Zion Enterprises, and his art advisor, Miriam Smith, presented a proposal
to substitute an art feature instead of the previously approved water element for a modified Office-Retail
Project (Phase 4) of the Rancho Town Square Project. The applicant also gave a brief overview of the
history of the project and that the development had been ready for building permit issuance twice
previously but had not proceeded. The modifications to the project approved by staff in 2006 were
presented as well.
The consensus of the Committee members was that the concept of substituting the art work for the water
element had merit but it needed to be approached on a comprehensive basis and not just one location in
the plaza. The art work should be incorporated into the Haven elevation screen wall of the retail building
as well as the connecting walkway/plaza areas. Also, the interface of the area between the retail and
office building must be carefully handled. If the applicant wishes to proceed with the modification then
they could prepare some sketches based on the Committee comments for staff to consider and then
bring back a proposal for further action by the Committee. The other option was to proceed with the
project as previously approved for modifications in 2006.
