There are no other commercial buildings in that residential area. To put a commercial building there would not be in the beat: interest of the residents in that area or for the City in general. We don't went another East Ontario. Let the commercial and industrial businesoea stay in the south end of the city. AvI have visions of Prchibald being a beautiful street e. is through North Ontario andsUpland,auch as Euclid Please do not grant a zone change. A commercial building there would be an eye sore and create a dang- erous parking problem on Archibald as wall as the side street.

DESCRIPTION AND BACKGROUND: The applicant is requesting a change of zone from (7000) R -3 -T to A -1. The applicant's intention is to obtain the proper zoning to allow a commercial nursery which is now illegally operating on the site. The applicant's request was prompt-ad by Notices of Violation sent by the County ordering the applicant to cease his operation. The County's enforcement actions were a result of several complaints from surrounding property owners. The application was originally submitted to the County by Kenneth Byler. Since then, the property has been sold to Robert Shibato who is now the principle applicant. The applicant is also requesting approval to operate the commercial nursery which is contingent upon the approval of this zone change request. 15 to 30 DU's /AC) ZONING, LAND USE AND PROPOSED GENERAL PLAN Land Use Zane General Plan Site Commercial Nursery (7000) R -3 -T Residential (high density, 15 to 30 DU's /AC) North Vacant (7000) R -3 -T Residential (high density, 15 to 30 DU's /AC) South S.F.R. $ Insurance Office A -1 Residential (low density, 2 to 5 DU's /AC) East S.F.R.

The proposed zone change would consti- tute "spot zoning" by creating A -1 zoning in an area primarily zoned for residential uses. This would permit uses that would not be compatible to. existing residential uses in the area. Staff feels that "spot zoning" is a poor planning practice and should be avoided whenever possible. Such zoning offsets uniform development. Additionally, the existing illegal use of the nursery creates severe traffic problems on 19th Street. These problems are outlined in the City Engineer's memo dated August 1S, 1978 (Exhibit A). Further, the zone change is incon- sistent with the proposed General Plan which projects residential development in the area. RECOMENDATION: Staff recommends, after the public hearing, adopti which denies Zono Change 94 -66, changing the zone based on the findings listed 0othat the Planning proceed with enforcement procedures to discontinue commercial nursery.

It is our opinion that the proposed site is not suitable for commercial uses from a traffic hazard standpoint. Nineteenth Street carries approaching 10,000 vehicles p ^r day in a 48 foot roadway s ±riped for two lanes. This volume will be increasing in the near future. The character of the street is such that limited access should be maintained to increase safety and efficiency. The site as proposed provides a circular drive access with one drive for entrance and one for exits. These entrances are to be signed with only directional parking provided. Experience has shown that even with entrance signing wrong movements will occur causing confusion, backing into Nineteenth St.-ect and potential accidents. Left turn moves into the site will also cause serious potential for rearend, sideswipe and right angle collisions with through traffic. At a minimum turning into the site will increase delay on the street. If the site is approved for the proposed use the following should be required: 1. Limit access to one 35 foot alley style drive approach with revised park to provide for on -site circulation. 2. Dedication to Master Planned right -of -way. 3. Provisions of curb, gutter and sidewalk with match -up paving along Nineteenth Street frontage. 1.I I: dm �A 0 0 DATE: AUGUST 23, 1978 TO: PLANNING COMMISSION FROM: JACK LAM, COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DIRECTOR SUBJECT: REQUEST FOR A SITE APPROVAL to allow a commercial nursery on property located on the north side of 19th Street between Amethyst and Hellman Avenves - Application originally submitted by Kenneth Byler The applicant is requesting a site approval for a commercial nursery now illegally operating on the subject property. This request is in conjunc- tion with a request for a Zone Change on the property from (7000) R -3 -T to A -1 (Z.C. 94 -66). Any disposition of this application by the Planning Commission will be dependent upon the disposition of the Zone Change appli- cation. If the Zone Change is denied this site approval request would be academic.

BACKGROUND: Freda Shelley is requesting a change of zone from R -1 to C -2 for an 8260 sq.ft. lot generally located on the east side of Archibald approximately 150' north of Devon (Exhibit "A "). The site is presently developed as a single family residence. The applicant intends to convert the dwelling to a real estate sales office and general office space. GENERAL. PLAN: The proposed ..eneral Plan designates the project site and area as low density residential (2 -5 d.u. /acre). ZONING AND LAND USE: The projc:.t site is presently zoned R -1 and used as a single family residential. Surr.�)unding zoning and land use is as follows: ANALYSIS: The proposed zone change is not cons�ctent with the proposed General Plan. Further, the project site is not suitable for the uses permitted in the proposed zone in terms of access, size, and compatibility with surrounding land uses. The proposed Tone change is not proper due to the fact that all adjacent and surrounding properties are developed with single family homes which are not compatible with the uses permitted in the proposed zone. This proposed change would create spot zoning which is poor planning practice. Spot zoning typically creates incompatibilities which result in an unorderly transition of uses over a long period of time. This tends to create strip development which causes access problems and eventual deterioration. Staff cannot support this request based on this analysis. . , CORRESPONDENCE: A public hearing notice was published in the Cucamonga Times on August 10, 1978. In addition, property owners, within 300' of the subject property were notified of said hearing. Staff has received several calls from property owners in the area opposing this zone change.

August ).4, 1978 Application for a zone change from A.-1 (single family residential) to C -2 (general commercial) for property located on the east side of Archibald Ave. approximately 1501 north of Devon Street - Request submitted by Freda Shelley. The tract of hones east of Archibald and bordered an the *forth by Hampshire and on the South by Devon have limited access because there are no streets coming into the tract from the South or the East. Since traffic is so heavy on Archibald from 3:00 on until approximately 6:30 and due to the heavy traffic created by the Sank of America it is often difficult to get into our homes. The area of Foothill znd Archibald is a very dangerous, heavy traveled area. Allowing this property to be zoned comnerr.ial would only add to ttfis problem. Foothill Boulevard has many areas which would be more suitable for crxrmiercial use. Sincerely, Mrs. Louise H. Page CITY OF RANCHO CUCAMONGA coMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DEPT.

The projected enrollment for the school is 35 children supervised by three (3) employees. The days and hours of operation would be Monday through Friday, 6:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. The school would essentially be a day care center for children of working parents. A school is an allowable use in the R -1 zone when a Site Approval application is approved by the Community Development Director. In approving such an application, the Director must make all the findings as set forth in the Zoning Ordinance or else the item is to be referred to the Planning Commission. This item is being referred because te:•e following findings could not be.made: 1. That uses are deemed to be part of the General Plan or its objectives; 2. That the site indicated by the development plan is adequate in size and shape to accommodate the proposed use, and all yards, spaces, walls, fences, parking, loading, landscaping and other features pertaining to the application; 3. That any improvements as indicated on the development plan are located in such a manner as to be properly related to existing and proposed streets and highways; and 4. That it is deemed to be a reasonable extension of existing development pat a rns in the area.

TRAFFIC - The traffic problems inherent in this project are summarized in the City Engineer's memo dated August 15, 1978, and a letter from CALTRANS enumerating the problems associated with 19th Street. The major concern is the ins,ifficient space for dropping children off at the site. The driveway accommodate. a maximum of two (2) cars before bakcing occurs onto 19th Street. This problem becomes serious during peak traffic hours in the morning and evening. Since the school is essentially a day care, most drop offs would occur during these peak hours. With the expectation that tile. traffic volume on 19th will increase in the future, it would be best to avoid uses which generate these types of traffic problems. Other traffic concerns are outlined in both the City Engineer's memo and the letter from CALTRANS and need not be repeated here. -3- 0 DESIGN - The size of the lot is 9028 square feet. Both the house and garage would be used as school rooms. The area of both is 1600 square feet. Ex- cluding the parking and driveway areas, the play yard area is approximately 1500 square feet. Thu buildin s and and parking a situated in such a wa tha children would a orce to wa u h the areas to et�rom house to _ n remlou� 5�_to garage,_ Because of the small of size, 0 of er layout c e esigned to avoid this situation. Another design problem is the 12 foot driveway leading into the back yard. The Foothill Fire Department has expressed concern because the minimum aisle width would Icause delays in getting equipment to tie ba-cT yard in case of fire. The Community Development Department recognizes the need for school facilities in Rancho Cucamonga, however, the location and design -` this particular project would not be in the interest of public safety and welfare. RF.CONVENDAT l ON : That the use of this site as a school be denied and that the Planning Commission, as per the City Engineer's recommendation, consider establishing a policy limiting access to 19th Street and limiting commercial development to those areas currently zoned for that use. Respectfully sub itte.i, JACK W1, Dfiecfor of Community Development f t i JL.dm CITY OF RANCHO CUCAMONGA MEMORANDUM DATE: AUGUST 15, 1978 TO: BILL IIOFMAN, PLANNING ASSISTANT FROM LLOYDIIUBBS, CITY ENGINEER SUBJECT: DIRECTOR REVIEW: SITE APPROVAL 91 -66 Engineering has reviewed the proposed site plan for conversion of the residence on Nineteenth StrGot just west of Eastwood Avenue to a day care facility. There are several problems with the proposed use related to traffic conflicts and access at the site. Volumes on Nineteenth Street are currently approaching 10,000 vehicles per day at the location of the proposed project. The street is 48 feet wide, striped for two -lane with a left turn pocket just beginning to serve traffic eastbound turning at Eastwood Avenue. Speed limit in the area is 50 m.p.h. The site as designed will be served by a 12 foot circular drive with a maximum storage capacity of two cars. The day care facility will operate from 7 :00 a.m, to 5 :30 p.m. and is designed to serve the working parents of 36 children. It is probable that a number of parents will be delivering children to the facility during A.M. peak hours and picking them up at the P.M. peak hour. In the opinion of the Engineering Department, if the proposed use is allowed the following hazardous situation could frequently occur: Insufficient storage for parking at the site will cause backup of westbound traffic on Nineteenth Street with potential for rear end collisions. 2. Left turns into the site will conflict with left turns rnto Eastwood Avenue. 3. Improper entrance to the circular drive will cause backing from the drive into it heavy traffic stream. 4. Left turns will be prevented by lack of storage causing serious congestion problems and increased accident potential. The traffic on Nineteenth Street will increase in the near future causing all of these problems to be increased. RECOMM- N DA f I OY. : That the proposed use of this site as anything other than a single family residence be denied and that the Planning Commission serlot,sly consider establish- ing a policy limiting access to Nineteenth Street and restricting any development of commercial uses to areas currently zoned for that use.

Gentlemen: Thank you for the opportunity to nursery ^chool on the north side Route 30) approximately 15CF west Cucamonga. review Site Plan 87 -65 for a of 19th Street (State JUghway of Eastwood Avenue in Rancho State Highway Route 'O is an important part of the circulation system providing access to this area. Portions of this highway are already °xperie^cit:S congestion and flooding. Due to the lack of alternate routes in the area capable of absorbing traffic increases, it will be neceat-ary for the exist- ing highway to contirue -).ovid4ng the necessary east /west service for some indefinite time period. Major improvements that will increase traffic and drainage capacity of this facility cannot be anticipated by this Department in the foresees - -ble future for a number of reasons, funding being one of the major ones. Therefore, it is important that the safety and traffic carrying capabilities of the existing highway be maintained at ns high a level. as psosible. By proper development of vacant land and redevelopment of improve- property, the value of tLis traffic carrier to the area can be continued and even enhanced. For example, elimination of random dl iveuaye or direct access to each parcel from the hi,hwa,y would increase its ' ,,affic carrying capacity ac well as its traffic safety. biakinr, sure that the continued development of impervious surfaces does not add additional water to that already reaching the facility would accomplish another of the desired effects. Even with careful planning of development-., the existing highway is not expected to provide an adequate level of service for the projected tra"f1c volumes in this area. For this mason, we have asked i'or a change in the Circulation Element of the County General Plan (see attaches letters) to upgrade Route 30 to a 4 -lane facility. Even though development of this proposal in itself may not cause serious consequences., it will have a cumulative effect on the traffic congestion along this highway. For this reason, we strongly urge the following: P;�!�c 2 0 August 16, 1x78 C - Redevelopment of this property include normal half - width improvement and right of way dedication on 19th Street in accordance with the County Master Plan of Highways. Curb and gutter should be set at 32' f---- the centerline of the highway. - Because we understand that this site is to be used as a nursery school, we recommend that vehicular access to the highway be provided by a single commercial 30' driveway and the circular drive be eliminated. - Parking facilities should be such that backing onto the high- way will not be necessary and that ary turning movements needed to exit the property be done on the pro. - ti such a manner to prevent any blocks ge in the driveway area ti. ould result in increased congestion on the highway. - No on street parking be allowed on the State highway. In developing plans for improvement of this property, care should be taken to preserve and perpetuate the existing draingge ;patterns. It is recoun ized that there is considerable public concern about noise levels adj ?cent to heavily traveled highways. Land development, in order to be compatible with this concern, may require special not °�- attenuation measures. This development should include any necessary noise attenuation. An encroachment permit must be obtained by the developer from the District 8 office of the State Department of Transportation prior to doing any work within the State highway right of way. We would like to receive a copy of any conditions of approval for this proposal and any document providing additional highway right of way when they become available.

The applicant intends to develop the site as building supply center with building materials such as rock, sand, gravel, cement, block and brick. GENERAL PLAN: The proposed General Plan designates the project site as general commercial uses along the Foothill Blvd. frontage at a depth of approximately 250 -300' with the remaining portion designated as industrial uses. ZONING AND LAND USE: The project site is presently vacant and zoned A -1. Surrounding zoning and land use is as follows: ANALYSIS: A review of 'he proposed General Plain would indicate that the pro- posed zone change is consistent along the Foothill Blvd. frontage. The rear portion of the project site is not consistent as the property is approximately 780' in depth and the commercial designation is approximately, 250' -300' in depth. The project site is suitable for the uses permitted in the proposed zone in terms of access, size and compatibility with surrounding land uses. However, the applicant intends to develop this site as a building supply center which will include the sale of building materials which is not a permitted use in the C -2 zone. The sale of building materials such as sand, rock, gravel, cement, block and brick is a permitted use only in the M -1 zone.

Staff has reviewed the zoning ordinance and has not found any provisions to permit this use within the C -2 zone. As the proposed General Plan indicates both commercial and industrial uses for the project site, the project site could be zoned C -2 along the street frontage and 21-1 for the rear portion of the site. In this manner, the retail operations of the development could be located in the C -2 portion of the site and the storage of building materials could be located in the M -1 portion of the site. Staff feels that zoning the site in this manner will. he compatible in this particular case as the applicant intends to develop an integrated development. Further, this would be consistent with the proposed General Plan. CORRESPONDENCE: A notice of public hearing was published in the Cucamonga Times on August 10, 1978 for a zone change request from A -1 to C -2. In addition, notice of said hearing was mailed to property owners within 300' of the subject property. To date, no correspondence has been received. RECOMMENDATION: The Planning Division recomme':ds that the :lanning Commission request the applicant to amend his zone change request to incorporate M -1 zoning on the rear portion of the subject property. In addition, instruct Staff to advertise the amended request for public hearing for the Planning Commission meeting of September 13, 1978.

DESCRIPTION AND BACKCROI1Nr: As the Planning Commission will recall, the Community Development Director denied a request by Milano's Pizza Restaurant to expand their business 1,200 square feet into the adjacent building. The denial was based on the fact that the applicant did not provide. the addi- tional eight (8) parking spaces that were required for the restaurant use. At the Planning Commission meeting of August 9, 1978, the applicant suggested that additional spaces could be created with adjustment of the parking lay- out. The Planning Commission indicated that the expansion could be allowed if the required additional parking could be provided. ANALYSIS: Staff has worked with the applicant to try and create ndditional parking at the center. By slightly adjusting the existing layout, eight (8) additional spaces were created. The Community Development Director has, there- fore, approved the expansion of Milano's Pizza Restaurant into the adjacent building. RECOMMENDATION: No further action is necessary. Respe tfully su itted, JACK LAM, Director of Community Development 0 0 STAFF REPORT DATE: AUGUST 23, 1978 TO: PLANNING COMMISSION FROM: JACK LAM. COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DIRECTOR SUBJECT: DIRECTOR REVIEW No. 78 -03; the development of sir. (6) industrial buildings on 3.53 acres of land located at 9181 Ninth Street - Request submitted by Michael Todd b Daniel Salter BACKGROUND: The applicants are proposing to develop six (6) industrial build- ings totalling 58.142 square feet on six (6) individual lots located On the south side of Ninth Street approximately 600' west of Hellman Avenue (Exhibit "A "). As the Commission will recall, approval to subdivide this property into six (6) lots was granted at the meeting of July 26, 1978. The site plan as submitted by the applicants -:eflect lot sizes consistent with the minor sub- division approval. The site is presently vacant and the immediate area is. developing with i-.idustrial uses. The subject property is presently zoned MR. The applicants have not indicated any specific use for these buildings, how- ever, only uses listed in the MR zone as a permitted use will be allowed to occupy these buildings. ANALYSIS: The site plan, which will be on display, indicates a total of six (6) buildings totalling 58,142 square feet. The buildings are located on individual sites designed in a manner to accommodate the size and shape of each parcel. The main access to the development will he provided by a fully improved street off of Ninth Street. Individual access points will then be taken from that street. One additional access point is provided from Ninth Street in order to provide rear access to Building F. Access to Buildings "E" and "F" is accom- plished by a shared driveway. Staff recommends that a reciprocal easement for access be granted across each lot to insure adequate access. A development of thij nature requires one parking space for every thousand square feet of building area. This development will, therefore, require a minimum of 69 narking stalle. the site plan indicates a total of 90 parking stalls being provided fcr the entire development. Each site contains the minimum required parking spaces for the corresponding building. The site plan indir_atea an ample amount of landscaped areas along the Ninth Street frontage and also along all the front yards of the interior street. The site plan does not indicate any walls. However, approval of the minor subdivision required certain walls and earth berms for flood protection purposes. These details are required to be worked out with the City Engineer through the minor D. R. No. 78 -03 -2- August 23, 1978 subdivision approval. The site plan indicates a six (6) foot chain link fence with redwood slats around outdoor storage areas adjacent to Building A. Staff recommends that the gates to these area3 be view obstructing by using redwood slats. The site development plan does not indicate the loca- tion of trash enclosures. Staff is recommending that a trash enclosure large enough to accommodate one (1) trash bin be provided for each building. The location of such enclosures shall be approved by the Planning Division. Elevations of these buildings will be displayed at the Planning Commission meeting. Such elevations indicate concrete tilt up buildings with archi- tecturally designed entrances featuring wood siding and various concrete textures. In addition, the buildings will be painted in coordinated color schemes. The Planning Division Staff has thoroughly r•�viewed the project and has found it to cR compatible with the existing t.nd proposed development in the area. The development plans as submitted conform to the proposed General Plan and Zoning Ordinance requirements. The buildings have been designed so that the warehouse entrances do not face the street frontages or front elevations of the buildings with the exception of Building E. Staff recommends that the roll -up warehouse door on the west elevation of Building E be relocated to the east elevation of Building E in order to conform with the buildings in this development. In addition, retention of the roll -up door on the west elevation of Building E would conflict with the handicapped parking stall designated on the site plan. RECOKMENDATION: The Planning Division recommends approval of Director Review No. 78 -03 based upon the following findings and conditions: 1. That the site is adequate in size and shape to accommodate the pro- posed use. Landscape and building setbacks which are provided are compatible with the existing development in the surrounding area. 2. That the site for the proposed use fronts on streets properly designed both as to width and type of pavement to carry the type of quantitive traffic generated by the subject use. 3. There will not be an adverse effect upon adjacent property. k. This project will not be objectionable or detrimental to existing uses permitted in the zone district. D. This project will not be in conflict with the purpose and intent of the Zoning Ordinance. 6. The Commission deems that the conditions in this report are the mini- mum necessary to protect the health, safety, and general welfare of tha community. 0 0 . D. R. No. 78 -03 -3- August 23, 1978 CONDITIONS: 1. That all provisions of the Zoning Ordinance be complied with. 2. That the site be developed in accordance with the r.pproved plans on file in the Planning Division. 3.

That a detailed trash enclosure plan be submitted to and approved by the Planning D vision prior to the issuance of building permits. 5. That the warehouse door on the west side of Building "E" be relocated to the east side of Building H. 6. That a copy of the recorded deed guaranteeing the reciprocal easement for Buildings E and F be submitted to the Planning Division prior to the issuance of building permits. If said easement is not obtained, then a revised site plan indicating adequate access shall be submitted to and approved by the Planning Commission. 7. A coordinated sign program shall be designed for this development and submitted to the Punning Division for approval prior to installation. 8. All conditions of Minor Subdivision No. 78 -0245 shall be adhered to in conjunction with the development of this project.

BACKGROUND: Mr. Van Antwerp is requesting approval to develop the northeast corner of Baseline Road and Amethyst Avenue as a professional office complex. The applicant recently received a zone change for this property to allow the development of administrative- professional uses. When the zone change request was reviewed by the Council, the property owner to the north of the project site was concerned that the building would be obstructing his property. The applicant has designed teh building it a manner that will provide a signifi- cant setback from Amethyst Avenue in order that there may be no obstruction of view for the property owner to the north. The property owner to the north• has reviewed these plans and has felt that such a design is acceptable to him. ANALYSIS: Exhibit "B" is a sketch plan of the applicant's project. Detailed site plans wi13 be on display at the Planning Commission meeting. Staff has thoroughly re•.i =wed the proposed plan and has found it to be compatible with existing and proposed development in the area. The development plans as sub- mitted conform to the Zoning Ordinance requirements. The proposed building will be approximately 3100 square feet in area. A development of this size requires 16 parking stalls which are being provided. The development plan indicates landscape planters along the front elevations of the building plus planters along the street frontages and property line. As can be seen on Exhibit "A ", the project site includes a 20' strip of land extending north to Roberds Street. The applicant does not intend to use this piece of land for this development. It is possible that he will be deeding this portion to adjacent property owners. The Engineering Departcient will be requiring a 20' corner cutoff and 17' dedi- cation along Baseline Avenue. In addition, all street improvements will be required to he installed. Elevations of the proposed building will be displayed at the Planning Commission meeting. The east and west elevations of the building indicate masonry construc- tion with a tile roof. The north elevation indicates the use of slump stone pilasters and 4" x 12" beams between the pilasters. Staff recommends that the use of 4" x 12" beams be eliminated and that the slump stone pilaster techni- que be utilized across the entire north elevation and west elevation. D. R.

BACKGROUND: Mr. Rinker is requesting approval to develop the southwest corner of Arrow Route and Archibald Avenue as an industrial business center. Exhibit "A" displays the site Plan submitted by the applicant Indicating three (3) phases of the project. The applicant is seeking approval of Phase "A" and conceptual approval of Phases "B" and "C ". The applicant is proposing to develop Phase "A" in i_s entirety with the private drive being completed up to the most easterly boundary of Phase "A ". Once Phases "B" and "C" are under- way, the private drive will be completed through to Archibald Avenue. The app- licant has requested approval for a zone change for this property to M-1 which is on this agenda for the Commission's consideration. Approval of this develop- ment plan is contingent upon adoption of the requested zone change. ANALYSIS: The Planning Division Staff has thoroughly reviewed this project and has found it to be comnatible with existing and proposed development in the area. Further, the development plans as submitted conform to the Zoning Ordi- nance subject to the conditions listed in the Staff report. The site plan in- dicates the use of two (2) trash enclosures large enough to accommodate two (2) trash bins each. However, a development of this nature will require two (2) additional enclosures of the same type. Staff recommends that the locations of such trash enclosures be reviewed and approved by the Planning Division. Tne most westerly building of Phase "A" is located approximately 5' from the private drive. The Zoning Ordinance requires a minimum building setback from all street frontages of 25'. Staff recommends that the applicant revise tl.e plan to provide a minimum of 25' setback from the private drive. In addition, STaff recommends the elimination of the three parking stalls on the south side of that same building. Since the applicant has an abundance of parking, the elimination of these three spaces will not be detrimental to the development. The applicant has submitted conceptual building elevations labeled as Exhibits "B" and "C ". The applicant has not submitted detailed elevations of each indivi- dual building and will therefore be required to submit such detailed elevations to the Planning Division for review and approval. prior to issuance of building perwits. D.R. No. 78 -06 -2- August 23, 1973 The Engineering Division is requiring the installation of full street im- provements along the Arrow Route street frontage for the entire length of the applicant's property.
