Chairman Hempel asked for questions from the Commission of the staff. Planning Commission Minutes ` -2- April 25, 1979 +y f 11 0 Commissioner Tolstoy asked if the height of the antenna is regulated by the FCC. Mr. Bruce Trembell, representing Cable TV stated the antenna is not regulated by the FCC. The overall height of the antenna is 42' and does not require any approvals from the FCC unless it is over 100'. Power poles along the street on Sapphire are 50'. The eucalyptus trees to the south are also in the range of 80' to 100' tall, so the antenna will be well screened. Mr. Larsen of Cable TV, stated the need for the antennas is they are receiving very poor quality pictures for the area north of 19th Street and this will improve the transmission and the pictures. Commissioner Garcia stated he is concerned about the chain link fence pro- posed and the screening to be provided for the adjacent property owners. Mr. Larsen stated a grove is located behind their site, with eucalyptus trees 80' to 100' high. They will not be able to see the view of any antennas. Also, the homes within the Hughes Tract adjacent to this development, do not face this property. Commissioner Tolstoy stated the landscaping plan should pay particular attention to the screening•of the trailer site. Staff should take a close look at this plan at the time it is submitted for approval. Mr. Lam stated a. change is to be made to Condition #2 in the Resolution as follows: A detailed landscape and irrigation plan shall be submitted to and approved by the Planning Division (within 60 days) prior to the issuance of building permits. Chairman Rempel opened the public hearing. There being no comments from the audience, Chairman Rempel closed the public hearing.

Chairman Rempel opened the public hearing, Mr. Joe Trehio, member of the church, stated this will be a beautiful building and will enhance the area. There being no further comments from the audience, Chairman Rempel closed the public hearing. Chairman Rempel stated he is a firm believer that churches should be visible rather than screened by block walls. Whenever possible he would rather see churches open rather than blocked from view. Commissioner Garcia stated he world agree with Chairman Rempel. He would rather see landscaping and planters than block walls whenever possible. A Motion was made by Commissioner Garcia and seconded by Commissioner Dahl to approve Resolution No. 79 -39 as submitted.

Staff recommends that should the addi -tonal detail meet with the Planning Commission's satisfaction then adop- tion of Resolution No. 79 -40 based on the findings and subject to the condi- tions as listed would be in order. Chairman Rempel asked for questions from the Co=mmission of the staff. Commissioner Garcia stated he would like to emphasize the requirement for landscaping in front of the building. Mr. Hogan stated an additional condition should be added to the Resolutio" as follows: This approval is for Phase I of the development only, Planning Commission Minutes _4. � ';' April 25, 1979 Chairman Rempel stated condition O1 should be changed to the follo-�ing: The area 150! from the western property line to the first row of parking for the proposed Phase I shall be landscaped.

AYES: DAHL, GARCIA, TOLSTOY, REPEL NOES: NONE ABSENT: JONES DIRECTOR REVIEW N0. 79 -16 - ALTA LCKA PROPERTIES - Request for requirements regarding density and site development revisions requested by the Planning Commission at its previous meeting. Jack Lam reported the City Attorney has requested that ,t further discussion is desired by the appllcgnt in regard to this request, that the Commission appoint a subcommittee to work directly with the applicant to discuss all possible problems associated with the design and then report back to the Commission for Commission action. It is his opinion the Commission as a whole should not review this matter at this time. Mr. Hopson stated if tr • membara of the Commission meet as a committee, the . committee can express concerns ari not distort the impartiality of the body as a whole. Mr. Manavian, Architect for Alta Loma Properties, stated-he would be in favor of meeting with a subcommittee of the Commission. However, he asked that this committee meet soon in order that they can bring back their plans to the next Commissioh meeting for review. A Motion was made by Commissioner Dahl, seconded by Commissioner Tolstoy and unanimously carried that a sub- committee be appointed to meet with Alta Loma Properties. Chairman Rempel appointed Commissioner Tolstoy and Commissioner Garcia as the sub - committee to meet with the applicants on Director Review No. 79 -16. REVISIONS TO DIRECTOR REVIEW NO. 78-06 - HARRY S. RINKER - Revisions to the Industrial business center located on the southwest corner of Archibald and Arrow. Michael Vairin, Associate Planner, reviewed the staff report in detail, this being on file in the Planning Division. Staff recommends that the Commission not approve the requested revision and uphold their previous approval of the site plan based upon the Adopted Landscape Standards. Chairman Rempel asked for questions from the Commission of the staff. Commissioner Tolstoy stated the revision as proposed would not have enough space available for parking and turning. Mr. Vairin stated that is correct. A minimum of 62 feet is required by code for parking and the applicants revision only provides 59 feet. Chairman Rempel asked if the easterly portion "B" has been approved at this time. Mr. Vairin stated this portion has not been approved at this time and would require specific site plan approval. Mr. Henry Reiter stated in areas such as this that are landscaped, people have the tendency to park away from it. When you park against the building, you wind up walking through the landscaped areas. People do not walk around landscaped areas. Driveways only have to be 24' wide. He could move the curb further south and in the end would be taking about 5' away from the 25' land- scaped strip. This will be a good looking building and will have a tremendous amount of landscaping on the site. This isn't really an industrial complex but should be called a business park. He is asking for a deviation in the adopted standard In order to provide more parking for the business park. Chairman Rempel stated he has been in areas such as the reviuion proposed at this location and there is no room to turn around. He indicated there are other options in order to provide additional. parking for this site. The building size could be reduced, or the site plan can be changed.. Mr. Vairin stated he might add if the Commission is uncomfortable in having additional parking along the street frontage, the applicant does have pro- perty to the south. Colmaiss ioner Tolstoy stated the Commission has gone through much deliberation concerning treatment of major streets in the city. He would personally feel that the Commission should hold to the adopted standards. Commissioner Garcia stated he would agree that the Commission should adhere to the adopted standards, but at the same time work with the applicant.in order to get more parking. Planning Commission Minutes -6- April 25, 1979 - .z „ a A Motion was made by Commissioner Dahl and seconded by Commissioner Garcia to deny the revisions to Director Review No. 78-06 and uphold the previous approval of the site plan based upon the adopted landscape standards. AYES: DAHL, GARCIA, TOLSTOY, MfPEL NOES: NONE ABSENT: 70NES * e ZONING DETEM41HATION No. 79 -02 - LEONA DANNA - Request for determination as to whether or not recreational vehicle storage yards are allowable in the A -1 zone for property located on the south side of Baseline, east of Hermosa. Barry Hogan, Senior Planner, reviewed the staff report in detail, this being on file in the Planning Division. He noted that this item had come about through the complaint process. Staff recommends that the Commission find that there is no similarity in a recreational vehicle storage yard to the uses allowable in the A -1 and R -1 zone. Chairman Rempel asked for comments from the applicant. Mr. John Taves, Attorney representing the applicant, asked that the Com- mission consider permitting Mrs. Danna to continue using this particular area for recreational vehicle storage. This is an A -1 zone at the present time and the master plan calls for residential. Next to Mrs. Danna's property is the Edison Substation. That use and the appearance of the yard is much more offensive than the recreational vehicle storage yard. Mrs. Danna has canvassed the neighborhood and has found no objection to her use. There are two mobi.lehome parks in the area that use this storage area for their recreational vehicles. She has obtained approximately 175 signatures to present to the Commission in favor of the storage fs_ility. Mr. Virgil Payne, Manager of Rancho Village Mobile Home Park, stated this recreational vehicle storage lot is necessary in this area. There is an ordinance at the present time which prohibits the parking of recreational vehicles on the street. Mr. Houtz, owner /operator of Houtz Egg Ranch, stated the City should take a good look at this as there is a need for recreational storage lots. There h.y are many areas within the city that recreational vehicles can not be parked. This storage lot was at this location prior to the City's incorporation. e Mr. C.W. Wagner, Manager of another Mobile Rome Park in the area, stated since this lot has been at this location, there have been no complaints. This lot would be impractical to most uses due to the noise from the Edison transformers. :. Chairman Reapel stated the City needs areas for recreational vehicle storage lots. Uses of this nature need to be addressed in the zoning ordinance within the residential areas. As of now this use is prohibited except within the industrial zone. -7- April 25, 1979 Planning Commission Minutes � y Mr. Lam stated the commercial -ones would also allow storage uses such as this. r� mzissioner Garcia stated the ordinance which was recently adopted in -d to recreational vehicle parking, has a tremendous impact regarding t,• i. types of vehicles. The City has not made provisions for this parti- r -il-Y use. This particular location, although not a permitted use, should ju• :_Twitted to operate at least temporarily. This is convenient for the people living in the area. Commissioner Tolstoy stated he would agree the need is there for the use. Mr. Lam stated the ordinance which was recently adopted restricts the parking of RV'a on streets. This is going to have an effect on where people park. There area large number of areas that do not have an area to park their vehicles. If the feeling is that there is need for recrea- tional vehicle storage that should be located in areas other than commercial and industrial, than some provision be written into the ordinance so this may be provided. The Citizens Advisory Committee was involved with the ordinance for recreational vehicles and it might be advisable to consult with them in regard to this matter. They should be consulted on whether they concur with a need for recreational storage within the residential areas and if so what kind of standards should be developed. In the mean- time, Mrs. Danna's present use could remain. A Motion was made by Commissioner Tolstoy and seconded by Commissioner Dahl to refer this matter to staff for an ordinance amendment with consulta- tion with the Citizens Advisory Committee. Action on Zoning Determination No. 79 -02 deferred. AYES: TOLSTOY, DAHL, GARCIA, RFMPEL NOES: NONE ABSENT: JONES DEER CREEK DESIGN STANDARDS - Presentation by City Engineer regarding bridges and street improvements over Deer Creek. Lloyd Hubbs, City Engineer, reviewed the staff report in detail, this being on file in the planning Division. Staff recommends approval of Deer Creek design criteria as proposed. Chairman Rempel indicated there is pedestrian traffic crossing these bridges. He stated this should be carefully considered in regard to sidewalks on the bridges, at least on one side of the street. Mr. Hubbs indicated it is his opinion the traffic volume and pedestrian traffic is low enough that what is proposed should be sufficient. Commissioner Rempel stated he would disagree. There is quite a bit of pedestrian traffic in this area and that perhaps more study is needed. Planning Commission Minutes -8- April 25,1979 ��.., Commissioner Garcia stated he would also like to see some slides of different bridges to give the. Commission a. good illustration of the different widths of bridges. Mr. Hubbs indicated staff would take pictures of bridges to give illus- trations; for the Commission as well as have a traffic count of street and pedestrian traffic. It was the concenaus of the Commission that this matter be continued to a later date with additional information on sidewalks and slides of bridges to be brought back for review. Upon Motion by Commissioner Dahl, seconded by Commissioner Tolstoy and unanimously carried, it was voted to adjourn the Planning Commission meeting of April 25, 1979. Meeting adjourned at 9:55 p.m. to the special study session of April 26, 1 379 at 4:30 p.m. in the City Hall Conference Room to discuss architectural review. �Respectfu ly submitted, �►e mill JACK LAM, Director of Community Development v CITY OF RANCHO CUCAMONGA PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES APRIL 11, 1979 Regular Meeting CALL TO ORDER The regular meeting of the Planning Commission of the City of Rancho Cucamonga was held at the Community Services,Building, 9161 Baseline Road, Rancho Cucamonga, on Wednesday, April 11, 1979.

Submittal Requirements for Development - Information Only MOTION UNANIMOUSLY CARRIED Jack Lam stated it would be best to review Zone Change No. 79 -01 and Director Review No. 79 -16 at the same time as the are related. ZONE CHANGE NO. 79 -01 - ALTA LOMA PROPERTIES - Request for a change of zone from R -1 to R -3 for property located on the south side of 19th Street between Amethyst and Archibald (Continued from 3- 14 -79). DIRECTOR REVIEW NO. 79 -16.- ALTA LOMA PROPERTIES - The development of a 184 unit apartment complex on 6.6 acres located on the south side of 19th Street between Amethyst and Archibald Avenue. Assessor's Parcel No. 202- 11 -19. Barry Hogan, Senior Planner, reviewed the staff reports in detail, additional information requested by the Commission is contained within the report and will be presented by the applicant. He reported a large amount of correspondence has been received in opposition to the zone change from adjoining property owners. Staff recommends that the Planning Commission consider the new information regarding Zone Change No. 79 -01 in their decision making process. If the zone change is approved, Director Review No. 79 -16, subject to the conditions as listed in the Resolution, is recommended for approval. Chairman Rempel asked for questions from the Commission of the staff. q Planning Commission Minutes -2- April 11, 1979 rh Commissioner Jones asked if the windrow and ravine on the westerly side of the property is uwned by the applicant. Mr. Hogan stated the applicant shows the ravine and most of the eucalvptus trees to be on b.s property. it is their responsibility to trim and top those eucalyptus trees. Chairman Rempel asked for comments from the applicant. Mrs.Lela Jabin, one of the developers of Alta Loma Properties, stated the proposed use is residential and compatible with the adopted General Plan. This development would require the widening of 19th Street which would be an advantage to.the adjacent property owners as it will eliminate the bottlenecking and make it a better moving street. To some extent this development will help eliminate some of the water problems. A lot of people are not ready to buy a home at this time and this type of housing is needed. Mr. Manavian, Architect representing Alta Loma Properties, stated he has contacted some of the property owners in the area and offered to make a presentation to them of the proposed development; however, they declined. There is really a limited choice in terms of housing types in the city. The drainage basin will be maintained as a natural feature with this development. Only through high density can you preserve that. Traffic is a problem only if it is looked at from what is existing. Their project will improve 19th Street and this is how it should be judged. There will only be one entrance into the project, with no entrance into the single family residential. In regard to noise, the units will be set back 60' in most cases. They will not be showing long rows of apartments but have broken them down into small clusters. Fifty percent of the parking is covered with 95 percent directly under the units. This will be .a very finely landscaped development and a project using a lot of wood siding and stucco. Commission Tolstcy asked if the units proposed to the east are three story. Mr. Manavian stated parking is proposed underneath with two stories proposed in the apartments. Commissioner Tolstoy asked about the privar.y of those living next to the development with the elevated units. Mr. Manavian stated to the east they have provided a 10 foot-buffer, and are proposing intensive landscaping to in 'tde quick growing trees. In addition, there is 60' additional set -back to the proposed buildings. To the west, is mature eucalyptus trees. These trees are approximately 40 to 60 feet high and fairly dense. Commissioner Tolstoy stated the design of the buildings does not provide any architectural screening. Mr. Manavian stated very high bedroom windows could be located on those buildings facing property to the east. There is a number of things which can be done to provide ventilation and height to these units so that there are no large windows facing the residential to the east. Chairman Rempel opened the public hearing. Mr. Hans Peterson stated it has been indicated this will be an adult only complex and asked if there is any guarantees that this will remain adult only. s Minutes -3- April 11, 1979" Planning Commission I .Ili, '1 Mr. Manavian stated they are trying to avoid children in apartment living because it is not really appropriate. Mr. Peterson asked if the applicant could explain how they propose to keep the accesses into Gala and Hamilton Streets closed from the apartments to the single family residential area. Mr. Manavian stated that specific details are not worked out as yet; however, fences or barriers that will blend in with the aesthetics of the neighborhood could be installed. Mr.- Peterson stated they are in favor of retaining R -1 zoning for this area as R -3 means higher density. They still cannot see any guarantee of a long term adult only complex. If children were allowed, it would present additional school problems. He is not sure whether an apartment development such as this would contribute more or less to the school problems. In regard to traffic congestion, 19th Street has too many stop signs at the present time. The General Plan calls for 19th Street to be a secondary street. The only area to be widened by this development is the area between Archibald and Amethyst. That does not seem to help the congestion problem further down the line. In regard to the fire protec- tion issue, he talked with a local fireman and he stated that higher density means an .obvious increase in trash dumpster type fires. Also, apartment addresses are more difficult to locate than single family homes. There are presently three fire stations that serve approximately 32 square miles. A fully involved fire would require all of the present fire units to contain the fire. In regard to police protection, any time there is higher density developments, there are disturbances from parties and noise from the movement of people in a concentrated area. There are more auto accidents and thefts. There is a.good possibility these things would carry over into their own neighborhood. This area is devoid of medical clinics of any kind. Chairman Rempel stated apartments are an alternative life style that must be provided for future residents. If you want to eliminate apartments in the City, then we need to start all over. Mr. Peterson stated an additional reason they want the area to remrin R -1 is due to the fact their property values could go down due to the development of apart- ments next to their homes. Mr. Manavian stated in regard to fire protection, every unit is accessible through a driveway , A fire truck or postal truck can get to every unit. Mr. Frank Osso who lives near 19th Street, asked if an environmental impact study has been prepared for the higher density population. Also, has the City considered with all the apartments in and around the area the overloading on the schools. He seated he would not like to live on the eastern side of this site plan. Looking up at a three story building is not his idea of privacy. Chairman Rempel stated an environmental impact report has been completed on the General Plan. We are making a determination tonight whether to approve the negative declaration which means as far as this development is concerned, whether it will have a significant effect on the environment. As far as schools, single 4 family developments produce more students in the community than apartments. Mr. Lam stated the Council and the school districts are in continual dialogue about the school situation. Chaffey District has a special problem. No conclusion Planning Commission Minutes. -4- April 11, 1979 , has been made as yet. Chaffey District is requesting certain fees to be attached to new construction so that the high schools could benefit. Elementary'school districts have discussed the matter over a number of months with the City and a result of that discussion was the creation of additional school fees charged to residential development in the City to provide for temporary facilities in the district until the situation can be improved. During the discussion, it was indicated by the school district that multi - family generated fewer number of students than single family. Multi family developments provide opportunities for those that can't afford to buy single family homes. Mr. Jim Parker, 8615 Hamilton Street, stated only one access is proposed in and out of this development. According to the fire marshal two accesses-are., required. Mr. Manavian stated that the accesses meet fire department.require- ments. Mr. Parker asked how much of 19th 'Street is going to be improved. Chairman Rempel stated they are going to improve 19th Street in front of their property only. This is typical whenever property is developed; the only part they are required to improve ig the property that is adjacent to that development. Mr. Parker stated there vill be more of a traffic problen. on 19th Street. Chairman Hempel stated the Commission has to make this decision tonight. Mr. Joe Hamer on Jadeite Street, asked how they can be assured the barriers that will be put for emergency vehicles will not be taken down by the residents living within the apartments. He also indicated 184 units will generate a large amount of additional traffic on 19th Street. A majority of the people living within the tract adjacent to the development have children. He, as a concerned parent, does not want more cars on that street than are already there. Traffic will be greatly increased by this development. If the ravine that runs along the side of the property has any more water going through it, there could be damage to the mobile home park. Mr. Al Wilson, 6873 Hermosa, stated throughout the world there is a population explosion. By the year 2000 we are supposed to have double-the population we ` now have. This City needs to accommodate the population explosion by developing apartment complexes. Mrs. Jabin stated she did indicate these apartments would permit a number of people that otherwise would not be able to make a commitment or afford homes. They feel this development would accommodate basically young professional people paying approximately $300 for a one bedroom unit and approximately $400 for a two bedroom unit. Mr. Bruce Talbot who lives on Jadeite Street, stated one of the reasons be moved to this area is because this area vas unique from the rest of the areas. If people want to live in a high density area, they should live somewhere else. It is his opinion this area should remain unique. Mr. Gary Clausen, 6749 Rlusman, stated the population explosion has hit this area already. The streets are getting more crowded every day. If apartments are s going to be approved, the City should first think about the streets and the �M present situation because we are already behind time. �'�''i Planning Commission Minutes -5- April 11, 1979 Chairman Rempel closed the public hearing. Commissioner Jones stated during the public hearings on the General Plan, it was reported that this City did not have enough multi - family homes. We have been trying for the last several months to correct that. There is definitely a need for them. Commissioner Garcia stated in the past several months we have approved a considerable amount of apartment units within the community and we may have reached a saturation point in terms of need for apartments at this time. If that saturation point has been reached, what is the end result an our utilities? There is a tremendous need regarding multi - family housing in order to comply with the state housing.guidelines. He would like to have some information from staff regarding this particular issue. He indicated the General Plan does allow a oroiect of this nature to be developed in this area, and it is the right of the applicant to request such a zone change. ; 4r. Lam stated as for the saturation point and how much multi - family and single family should be developed, there has been a disproportionate amount of single family and multi - family within the City. As for the exact balance nt.-.ded within the community, that decision has not been mad?. The Commission has indicated that they seriously want to consider that at the time the City develops its Housing Element of the General Plan. There is sewer capacity available for these units. The City has approved several apartment projects over the last few months; however, the moratorium will not allow further developments at this time. This application was submitted prior to the moratorium. As far as this project, there is sewer allocation for this proposal. Commissioner Tolstoy stated several problems were raised by the residents adjacent to this property. TLe school issue was one of the problems. It was indicated, however, that adult apartments do not heavily contribute to this problem. A fire problem was addressed. If one of the conditions of the project is that the units be well marked the only question he would have would be the roof materials proposed for the project. Privacy and noise can be mitigated by design requirements. The parking is handled well. The big problem as far as he is concerned is traffic. The amount of cars generated by this development with only one access point on 19th Street and the additional cars on 19th Street bothers him. Another problem is the drainage situation. Mr. Rougeau stated thi major problem now is the water coming down from the northern part of the City. A vast portion of the water is coming from outside the limits of this site. With the development of this type we are going to get storm drain improvements to handle water from the north and a small additional amount of water off site. The conditions will be vastly improved. Commissioner Garcia stated the Commission needs to address itself to the significance of the General Plan in terms of consistency, our General Plan allows this type of zoning. We should be consistent in the implementation of our General Plan, the proposed project does not indicate any-discrepancy with the basic goals and objectives of the land use element. During the past 12 months when discussing the issue of the General Plan, there was no discussion from the property owners in this area in regard to high density development. In regard to the issue of property values, in the past 231 years, homes within our community have gone up at least 80 %. He does not find justification that the homes will depreciate the pro - perty values. Values increase due to quality of development and not to the fact that multi - family housing is developed adjacent to it. The decision on the zone change should be based on the basic goals and objectives of tSe General Plan. In regard to the project design, there are many concerns the commission has as well as the public; which could be dealt with at a future date. 5:,.. Planning Commission Minutes -6- April 11, 1979 Chairman Rempel stated the General Plan does indicate the area could be developed from 15 to 30 dwelling units per acre. He is concerned about the total-amount of units proposed at this location. Traffic will slow down in the morning and the evening until the street is fully developed for at Teast another half mile on each side. Commissioner Garcia etated he is also concerned about the three story units in the area adjoining the single family residential development. He is concerned about traffic on 19th Street and fire protection. A Motion was made by Commissioner Garcia and seconded by Commissioner Tolstoy to approve Resolution No. 79 -23 approving Zone Change 79 -01 as submitted.* AYES: GARCIA, TOLSTOY, DAHL, JONES, REMPEL NOES: NONE ASSENT: NONE Mr. Hogan stated for information of the audience, another notice will be mailed to the adjoining property owners of another public hearing before the City Council on the Zone Change. This is a recommendation from the Planning Commission to the Council. A Motion was made by Commissioner Garcia and seconded by Commissioner Tolstoy to continue Director Review No. 79 -16 to May 9, 1979 in order for the applicant to review concerns in regard to density, screening on the east side of the development, the access gates for emergency vehicles, architectural treatment for privacy and noise, and more conclusions in regard to drainage. AYES: GARCIA, DAHL, TOLSTOY, JONES, RUIPEL NOES: NONE ABSENT: NONE NEGATIVE DECLARATION AND ZONE CHANGE NO. 79 -03 - yANIR RESEARCH - A change of zone from A -1 to A -P for property located an the northwest corner of 19th Street and Archibald Avenue. Assessor's Parcel No. 202- 101 -16. Jack Lam stated the applicant submitted his application fora zone change to A -P and R -3. Since the moratorium ordinance does not allow for entertainment of multi- family applications, what we are entertaining this evening is only the zone change for the A -P portion of the property. The multi - family portion will have to be dealt with at a later date after the moratorium is lifted. Barry Nogan, Senior Planner, reviewed the staff report in detail, this being on file in the Planning Division. Staff recommends adoption of Resolution No. 79- 33 recommending approval of Zone Change No. 79 -03 to the City Council. Chairman Rempel asked for questions from the Commission of the staff. Commissioner Jones naked where the boundaries are for the A -P zone change. Mr. Hogan reviewed this for the Commission. The A -P portion will include approximately 3'kI acres of the total 6.7 acres. The applicants would need to file a parcel map prior to the completion of the project in order to split the A -P portion from the remainder of the property. Planning.Co=ission Minutes -7- April 11, 1979 A l' S 11 Chairman Rempel asked for comments from the applicant. The applicants indicated "hey have no comments at this time; however, would be happy to answer any questions the Commission might have. Commissioner Garcia asked what businesses are proposed within the development. Representative from Vanir Research stated at this time they do not know who the tenants will be; however, it will be required that they be businesses allowed within the A -P district. Mr. Lam stated the A -P zone allows a wide range of office facilities such *as lending institutions, medical offices and also allows restaurants. Chairman Rempel opened the public hearing. There being no comments from the audience, Chairman Hempel closed the public hearing. A Motion was made by Commissioner Garcia and seconded by Commissioner Jones to approve Resolution No. 79 -33 recommending approval of Zone Change No. 79 -03 to the City Council. AYES: GARCIA, JONES, DAHL, TOLSTOY, REMPEL NOES: NONE ABSENT: NONE DIRECTOR REVIEW NO. 79 -28 - VANIR RESEARCH - The development of a financial institution, restaurant and professional offices located on the northwest corner of 19th Street and Archibald Avenue. Mr. Lam stated this request is for the actual review of the site plan. Barry Hogan, Senior Planner, reviewed the staff report in detail, this being on file in the Planning Division. Staff recommends approval of Resolution No. 79 -28 approving Director Rei-iew No. 79 -28. Chairman Rempel asked for questions from the Commission of the staff. Mr. Hogan stated two additional conditions should be added to the Resolution as follows: 1) Extend the roof line along the north and west elevation, 2) the approval of this project shall expire within one year unless exercised by tha issuance of building permits. Commissioner Tolstoy stated little, if any, attention has been given to the screening from the proposed project on the north. Since this project is going to be built in two phases, now is the time to get that screening designed and planned. Mr. Hogan stated the landscaping could be increased to 10'. He indicated there is a condition of the Resolution which stated the landscaping plan is to be brought back to the Planning Division for approval. If the Commission desires, this condition could be changed to have review by the Planning Commission. Commissioner Tolatoy stated he feels staff can review the landscape plans as long Planning Commission Minutes -8- April 11, 1979 as they know the Commissions' desires. Commissioner Garcia stated he is disturbed with the elevations proposed. We are entertaining a professional office complex that, in his opinion, is not compatible to other previously approved office complex developments within the City. This development is the type which could be developed within an industrial zone. It needs a complete restudy. This is not the image he wants to see for office and professional buildings. Chairman Rempel stated this construction in very similar to the development across the street; however, in his opinion, is an improvement over that development. Commissioner Garcia stated, in his opinion, the architect could enrich the architectual detailing style and design of the building elevations. Commissioner Dahl stated if the roof line is extended along the north and west elevations; and with additional landsceping to the north, hL does not see any further problems with the development. Representative of Vanir Development indicated they are willing to meet all conditions with regard to landscaping. Mr. Ted Stelzer, Designer with Vanir Development Company, stated they went out of their way with this development to project a professional office design. It is his opinion this will be a first class building with first class materials and will be a nice addition to the community. A Motion was made by Commissioner Dahl and seconded by Commissioner Tolstoy to approve Resolution No. 79 -32 subject to the conditions listed with the following additions: 1. Extend the roof 'line along the north and west elevations. 2. The approval of this project shall expire within one year unless exercised by the issuance of building permits. 3. Additional landscaping is required to the north of the property. AYES: DAHL, TOLSTOY, RMVEL NOES: GARCIA .TONES ABSENT: NONE DIRECTOR REVIEW NO. 79 -26 - LONGLEY - Request for development of a retail and wholesale building materials and supply center located on the south side of Foothill Boulevard, 1,0001+ west of the Devote Freeway in the C -2 zone and M -1 Zone. Barry Hogan, Senior Planner, reviewed the staff report in detail, this being on file in the Planning Division. Staff has found the site plan to be a substantial improvement over previous submittals. It allows the Commission to see how the proposed phase one will fit in with the ultimate development of the site. However, staff would recommend that the Commission continue this item for four weeks to allow the applicant time to revise the architectural plans for the proposed office retail structure and give the applicant the direction necessary 4;s.a:•: for those architectural revisions. e ' Ylanning Commission Minutes -9- April 11, 1979 Iy . Chairman Rempel asked for questions from the Commission of the staff. Commissioner Tolstoy asked V° the screening of the yard along the flood control channel would all have to he completed with the first phase of development. Mr. Hogan stated that is correct. Commissioner Tolstoy stated the site plan has been improved immensely, however, it is his opinion the architecture of the proposed building really needs to be reviewed. This is not really what we want to see along Foothill Boulevard. Mr. Longley, applicant, stated they intend to build a first class structure with the best materials on the market. Commissioner Tolstoy stated he is not taking any exception to the type of materials being proposed. His comments were directed at the design as what has been pre- sented does not fit in with the character of Foothill Boulevard, The design needs more refinement. Commissioner Garcia stated he would agree. He felt that in terms of consistency in design proposals and the aesthetics and character of the development, as proposed, is not compatible nor desirable within our community. Commissioner Dahl stated he is in favor of this development as presented. Chairman Rempel stated he is not in favor of a uniform type of architecture throughout the City. Each concept needs to be left open to each developer or individual builder to design his own type of architecture. Perhaps if the applicant would continue the design across the building for another 200 feet with the same type of architecture, you would gat an entirely different concept of the building. There are a few things which could be changed a little bit. Mr. Longley stated the proposed building is to be set back from Foothill Boulevard approximately 300 feet. At that point, it is about 15 feet lower than the curb line. The back of the property sets 20 to 25 feet below the freeway. Mr. Lam stated in terms of review of the project, although the site will be less visible than another site, it does not mean that the Commission should care less about the appearance of the project. A Motion was made by Commissioner Garcia and seconded by Commissioner Jones to continue Director Review No. 79 -26 for study of the architectural design of the building. AYES: GARCIA: JONES, TOLSTOY NOES: REMPEL, DAHL ABSENT: NONE Mr. Longley stated he has no intention of continuing this project unless he gets a decision within 30 days. He is proposing a beautiful, top quality building. Commissioners Rempel and Dahl indicated their reason for voting "no" was that they felt the project could be approved at this time with a condition added that further review is needed on the architectural design of the building. Planning Commission Minutes -10- April 11, 1979 p M u DIRECTOR REVIEW N0. 76 -11 - IN -N -OUT BURGER - The development of an In -N -Out Burger facility to be located on the south side of Foothill Boulevard, east of Vineyard. Michael Vairin, Associate Planner, reviewed 'the staff report in detail, this being on file in the Planning Division. Staff recommends approval of Resolution s. No. 79 -36 subject to the conditions as.lis*_ed. Chairman Hempel asked for questions from the Commission to the staff. Commissioner Garcia stated the project as proposed seems to have a minimal amount of landscaping. Commissioner Dahl asked if the easement to Vineyard is paved? Mr. Vairin stated yes. Mr. Lam stated in regard to landscaping, a condition of approval is that the final landscaping plan be submitted prior to issuance of building permits. If the Commission feels there are special conditions on the site that warrant Commission review, this could be made a condition of approval. Commissioner Tolstoy stated additional screening is needed to the south of the development. Commissioner Garcia stated it is his opinion that there are many unanswered questions in regard to this project. He stated he has questions regarding the easement, the proposed shops, and questions of accessibility. Mr. Vairin reported the shop section is merely conceptual at this time. In terms of landscaping, all green areas are landscaped areas. Detailed landscape plans will be prepared for review as is a standard requirement. The Commission has the option of reviewing the detailed landscape plans if they so choose. Buffering can occur as the Commission deems appropriate. In terms of access there are no problems. Mr. Don Bolinger, representing In -N -Out Burger stated they will submit a detailed landscape plan to the Planning Division for review as required. He stated they have a problem with reference to the sign, and has not had the opportunity to review this problem with the Planning Staff. He indicated they began work on this project prior to the City's incorporation. They only recently learned that the sign proposed met with disapproval of the Planning staff and that the size was in excess of the size contemplated by the current ordinance. Their sign is currently registered as a trademark and their means of identification. He asked that the Commission permit them to have a sign of this design in order to locate and. operate in the community. It is their opinion the sign is compatible with the building. This is the smallest sign they have ever proposed, and the City's sign ordinance is the most restrictive in terms of area that they have ever confronted in the 30 years they have been in business. They have already had the form cast as they felt there would be no problem with the size as proposed. The top elevation of the monument sign is not a problem, it is totally in conformance wit... the ordinance. There is 10 square foot total on the arrow in addition to the advertising portion of the sign. The arrow is not part of the advertising and should not be considered. He urged the Commission to consider approving the sign which could be very much consistent with the spirit of the new sign ordinance. April 11, 1979 Planning Commission Minutes -11- ,1 f . Mr. Lam stated the size of the sign allowed , ordinance does include the arrow as part of the advertisement area. The monument sign is not the only method of identification that can be used. The primary concern is the size of the sign structure that is presented does not meet the standards of the ordinance. Chairman Rempel stated the Commission does not haves anv choice at this time but to require that the Sian Ordinance as adopted be . _owed. Mr. Hopson. City A.ttornev. stated if a.nvone wishes to vary from the adopted sign ordinance, a i`ormal variance application is required for review. Chairman Rempel stated if the sign is brought into conformance with the adopted ordinance, staff can review and approve the sign without it having to come back to the Commission foy. further review. Commissioner Garcia stated the issue of the sign is -e in relationship to the project as a whole. He personally feels the pr:;- does not show enough landscaping and would like to see it addressed more ca _ erully. Commissioner Tolstoy stated in regard to the landscaping an additional buffer is needed to the rear of the - property. Commissioner Dahl asked if the property proposed for the future shops is owned by In -N -Out. If so, would it be possible to requlre the continuation of the landscaping the entire length along Foothill Boulevard including the restaurant and the future shops. Mr. Rich Snyder, President of In -N -Out Burger, stated they would not have any objection to putting landscaping across the entire frontage of the property. Commissioner Garcia stated good landscaping design for a project can enhance the project as well as meet the goals and objectives of developments on special boulevards. He further indicated this review should be continued so that the applicant has a chance to address the Commissions' concerns and that this be brought back to the next meeting. A Motion was made by Commissioner Dahl and seconded by Commissioner Tolstay to approve Resolution No. 79 -36 subject to the conditions as listed with the following addition: Thst the staff will review the landscaping to ensure the continuation along the entire frontage of the site and an additional buffer to the rear of the property. AYES: DAHL, TOLSTOY, JONES, REMPEL NOES: GARCIA ABSENT: NONE Commissioner Garcia stated it is his opinion this project should come a back for review of the commission's concern, to address what we are trying to on Foothill Boulevard. Chairman Rempel indicated. we need to set up design criteria for Foothill Boulevard before such a requirement can be made. Due to the 11.00 p.m. adjournment time, a Motion was made by Commissioner Dahl seconded by Commissioner Tolstoy and unanimously carried to continue with the ...next item on the Agenda. -12- April ll. 1979 Planning Commission Minutes' ;. a DIRECTOR REVIEW NO. 79 -12 - SIERRA SAVINGS - The appeal of a public service and identification sign to be located at 8730 19th Street. Jack Lam, Director of Community Development, reviewed the staff report in detail, this being on file in the Planning Division. Staff recommends that the Commission uphold the decision of the Planning Division based upon findings listed in Resolution No. 79 -36. Mr. Eugene Briesemeister, representing Sierra Savings, stated this project has been going on since 1977. This is a separate parcel of rocord and contains 1.2 acres. It is integrated within the center but is a separate parcel.. They feel the way the new ordinance is written that they are entitled to a free standing monument type sign. The ordinance allows up to a 24 square foot sign, the main body of their sign is only 16 square feet plus the 7'h square feet of public service panels for the time and temperature. In the future, when the trees are full grown, it will obstruct the view of the sign on the building. This is one of the main reasons they are asking for a small monument sign at the corner. They have to have identification where people can see the business. They feel they are being deprived of a privilege that is allowed other persona. Commissioner Dahl asked if this development being a separate parcel from the shopping center has any effect on the signs allowed. Mr. Lam stated the statement that all banks in the City have monument signs is not an accurate statement. There are several older banks which have free standing signs; however,.new banks only have structure signs. Those with individual signs are those parcels along.roothill Boulevard. He indicated the ordinance allows a monument sign for major tenants of shopping centers. Mr. Hopson stated in order for the Commission to allow the sign it needs to determine that because of special circumstances such as size, shape, topography, location cr surroundings, the strict application of the zoning ordinance would result in a hardship. That is a necessary condition for the Commission to approve a monument sign which varies from the sign ordinance. A Motion was made by Commissioner Tolstoy ana seconded by Commissioner Dahl to approve Resolution No. 79 -36 upholding the Director's decision on Director -Review No. 79 -12, denying the use of a monument sign for Sierra Savings located on the northeast corner of Carnelian and 19th Street.

Paul Rougeau, Assistant Civil Engineer, reviewed the staff report in detail, this being on file in the Planning Division. Staff recommends that the appeal be denied and the Parcel Map approved subject to the conditions of the City Engineer's Report. N Chairman Rempel asked for comments from applicant. �r Plauning.Commission Minutes -13- April 11, 1979 Mrs. Sanchez, stated the requirementa would present a hardship to them and asked that the Commission consider the appeal. Mr. Rougeau stated he would like to point out that while the ordinance requires that the improvements be constructed within 9 months following recordation of the map, the time between the tentative and final map can be two years. Commissioner Garcia stated the problem that we have in this particular project is the ordinance requirements. We.do understand the hardship but the danger is the precident it sets for all developments that would come up, Chairman Rempel agreed the Commission cannot make exceptions to the sub- division ordinance. A Motion was made by Commissioner Garcia and seconded by Commissioner Dahl to deny the appeal and the Parcel Map be approved subject to the conditions of the City Engineer's Report. AYES: GARCIA, DARL, .TONES, TOLSTOY, P.EMPEL NOES: NONE ASSENT: NONE REPORT ON ARCHITECTURAL REVIEW P;r. Lam stated the report on Architectural Review has not been completed as yet; however, he wou':d hope to pass the report out at tomorrow nights adjourned meeting. He stated perhaps the Commission might want to set up a special study session in order to study the possibilities of Architectural Review. Be suggested that this study session be held Thursday, April 26th. It was the concensus of the Commission that a special study session be set for Thursday, April 26, 1979 at 4:30 p.m. in the City Hall Conference Room. Upon Motion by Commissioner Dahl, seconded by Commissioner Jones and unani- mously carried, it was voted to adjourn the Planning Commission meeting of April 11, 1979.

The need for site specific plans is therefore reinforced because the issue of compatibility is such a se::sltive issue for the mixed use areas. The school district is in the process of obtaining the site directly to the south of the subject ,property. Whatever development may be proposed far_ this site may not be compatible with the school. Possibly a market analysis and traffic study would be in order to ascertain whether this site is appropriate for uses permitted in the A -P zone: Staff feels that the proposed subdivision is creating parcelizat ion that will create a non - uniform developm:nt. Without seeing specif it, development plans and the proposed uses of these sites, Staff feels that a zone change and subdivision at this time may be premature and inconsistent with the general plan objectives of the plau.
