MEETING OBJECTIVE• Tonight's public hearing is the continuation of works ops whit --Te on August 16 for consideration of the u.a,� Development Code. As the third workshop, the objective will be to review in detail the remaining Chapters of the Code which are Chapters 5, 6, 10, 11, 12, and 13. Enclosed with this staff report you will find the revised chapters for Chapters 4, 7, 8, and 9 which were reviewed at the previous workshop on September 6, 1983. The next and last workshop will be October 4, 1983. At this workshop, it is intended to discuss the Development District Map. In addition to the discussion of the Development District !yap, staff would like to review the Basic and Optional Development Standards contained within the revised section of Chapter 4. Since we did not have the opportunity to discuss this in detail, staff would like to have the opportunity to present a more detailed overview of these standards and how they will work. In the last staff report for that workshop, staff will provide a short discussion on these standards, as well as the draft Development District Map. II. DETAILED REVIEW OF CHAPTER 5 - C011TMERCIAL DISTRICTS: This chapter was developed in the same format as the residential district. It was intended that all st idards and regulations dealing with commercial development w" d be contained wholly within this chapter. Section 5.1 - Purposes and General Plan Consistent Set s 5.2 Dstricts: These two sections escri a the goa s ad 3ecctove of the General Plan for the commercial areas and the commerciai districts which are to be used for implementation of the land use designations of the General Plan. Basically, there are three commercial districts: Administrative Professional (AP), Neighborhood Commercial (NC), and General Comrmreial (GC). DwAFT DEVELOPMENT CODE STAFF REPORT NO. 3 September 20, 1983 Page Section 5.? - Use Regulations: This section is devoted mainly to describing permitted uses and conditional uses for each of the three commercial districts. The chart is arranged in five basic categories comprised of office and related uses, general commercial uses, public and semi - public uses, accessory uses, and timnporary uses. Many of the uses listed within this chart are uses currently permitted in the commmercial zones, as well as other uses which were not adequately covered under the current ordinance. The remaining part of this section deals with special use regulations, condition of uses, abandoned or converted service stations, and conversion of residential structures. The special use regulations are inte•.ded to implement regulations which are required in conjunction with the use. The three specific uses which are listed are uses which the Commission and Council have previcusly adopted ordinances for their regulation. They are adult businesses, amusement devices, and arcades. Please find attached a draft section for the regulation of adult businesses and a new section dealing yith temporary office modules. The section dealing with the condition of uses is a new section t;h;ch helps to clearly outline the guidelines for outdoor displays an sales of rrerc%anl se, parking lot /sidewalk sales, and outdoor display of merchandise. The current zoning ordinance does not adequately address these areas and the business c3mmunity has been struggling in order to determine precisely what tha City guidelines and rYgulations are for these areas. The last two subsections of Section 5.3 deal with the abandonment or conversion of service stations and the conversion of residential structures. These two sections set forth requirements for both of these areas. Section 5.4 - Site Development Regulations: This section deals w d e tions with regard to site and lot sizes for future subdivisions as well as setback requirements, landscaping, maintenance and screening requirements and projections into yards and height limits. Table 5.4 -B (Setbacks) is basically the landscape, parking, and building setback requirements that were listed in the General Plan as well as adopted by the Planning Commission several years ago. These standards are being used to review current projects. The subsection dealing with screening sets up specific guidelines for required landscaped areas, screening of parking areas, loading areas, trash enclosures, and utilities from the public view. E 11 11 11 E DRAFT DEVELOPMENT CODE STAFF REPORT NO. 3 September 20, 1983 Page 3 The remaining part of this section basically discusses standards for projections into yards and height limits, as well as the use of required yards. These are standard requirements and are intended to clearly outline those requirements. Section 5.5 - Performance Standards: These performance standards are simi ar to per ormance Stan ar s that have been set up in the rest of the ordinance, but are modified to relate to commercial uses. These standards are used in conjunction with the use regulations to insure land use compatibility. Section 5.6 - Desi n Guidelines: These are general design guidelines which expand the current design ordinance. As we indicated with the residential design standards, we will be developing more detailed design guidelines based upon these general guidelines after the final adoption of this ordinance. III. DETAILED REVIEW - PARKING E ontains compre ensive regulations Tor parK,nq of Rancho Cucamonga. This chapter differs existing parking regulations in the fact that up -to -date design standards and requirements, up-to-date numbers based upon certain uses. Car_tinn 6.1 - Puroose and Intent and 6.2 - Sa standards. IONS: This chapter t Wroughout the City greatly from the it contains current as well as the most sic Reauiations for � two section generaiiy uescriue t,c public safety? and guidelines for the use of Section 6.3 - Desi n Standards: This ?c�Aon details general esign Stan ar s which are applicable to all parking areas and parking stalls, design standards :which are specifically applicable to residential development, as well as design standards which are specifically applicable to commercial, institutional and community facilities. The last subsection of this section describes the specific requirements for the actual design of a parking facility such as a parking bay, planter designs, parking lot striping and markings. Most of the standards are ones which we currently use through our current design review process. Section 6.4 - Parking Requirements: This section is divided into Tour subsections dealing with residential parking requirements, conmercial/'office parking requirements, special requirements, and optional provisions. DRAFT DEVELOPMENT CODE September 20, 1983 Page 4 STAFF REPORT NO. 3 The residential portion has already been reviewed and approved by the Commission and Council and is re ,,.gated here. The commercial /office subsection lists commercial uses and basic use categories such as conrerciai, retail and serfice uses, commercial recreation uses, educational uses, health uses, industrial uses, and places of assembly. The basic difference between, the proposed standards and current standards is an expansion of the kinds of uses that are now listed, as well as a refinement of the number of parking stalls required for each use based on the most current up -to -date studies. Under the special requirement section, we have listed standards for handicapped stalls, motorcycle facilities, compact cars, bicycles, carpool and drive - through designs. , We have also added a section entitled optional provisions which discusses the ability for shared parking, particularly within shopping centers. Also, there are options for the development of transportation plans which would allow reduction in required parking if it can be shown that the effectiveness of public transportation usage by the employees or other transportation alternatives actually reduce the parking need. IV. DETAILED REVIEW OF CHAPTER CHAPTER 10 - OVERLAY DISTRICTS: This chapter provides the basic administrative framework for establishing overlay districts. Section 10.1 - Pur ose and Intent: Overlay districts are intended to esta is eve opmeet stan arcF to zldress the special or unique needs or characteristics of particular areas to assure compatiblity between existing and proposed uses. Section 10.2 - Administration: This section grants City Council authority to adopt overlay districts and sets forth specific finrlings that are required prior to adopting an overlay district. A public hearing will be required to adort an ove ^T .,y district. VI. DETATILED REVIEW OF CHAPTER 11 - MASTER PLAN OVERLAY DISTRICT: This chapter creates a Master Pan Overlay District for t ose areas designated by the General Plan or specific plans that required preparation of a master plan. The Master Plan Overlay District is intended to be used in combination with any development district. Section 11.1 - Purpose: This section contains the purpose and intent o the Master Plan Overlay District. The intent of the Master Plan Overlay District fs to establish procedures to address the special or unique needs or characteristics of certain areas to assure compatibility between existing and proposed uses to coordinate and promote the community improvement efforts of both private and public resources. -.17 11 E DRAFT DEVELOPMENT CODE STAFF REPORT No. 3 September 23, 1983 Page 5 Section 11.2 - AopliCabilit : This master p.an overlay districts may apps for the preparation of master plans upon overlay distr=ict or the first developer. section defines where the y and places responsibility property owners within the Section 11.3 - Administration: This section provides for the establishment of the O'rcr�ay districts and sets forth master plan requirements. VII. DETAILED REVIEW OF CHAPTER 12 - MOBILE DISTRIGI: MIS tnGRU=1 1� an will contain all cf the - development regulations for mobile home parks. Assembly Bill 484, passed,in 1981, deletes the specific authority granted to the City to regulate standards of lot, yards, or park area, landscaping, walls or enclosures, signs, access and vehicle parking. Therefore, the remaining regulations would be more appropriately addressed in Chapter 4. I%. CHAPTER 13 - SENIOR HOuSI:iG OVERLAY DISTRICT: This chapter con *_airs t e .senior Housing Over ay District regulations recently adopted by the city. The Senior Housing Overlay District is intended to facilitate the construction of affordable rental housing units for senior citizens. The Overlay District contains specific site criteria and development incentives to attract potenticl developers. The District has not been modified from what was recently approved by the Commission an(T Council. /Attachments: I Revised Code Chapters 4, 7, 8, and 9 Section 5.3-F.1 (add to page 97) 1. Adult Businesses: L-i consideration of approval of any adult business, as defined in Chapter 1, 'a Conditional Use Permit may be approved for an adult business in the GC District unless: (a) Such business is located within 1,000 feet of a college or university, a public or private educational facility, a church, a park or recreational facility, a library, a post office, or a governmew al institution. (b) Such business is located less than 1,000 feet of any other adult business.

These site development standards should be used in conjunction with the design guidelines contained in this chapter. This s^_ction shall not be construed to supersede more restrictive site development standards contained in the Conditions, Covenants and Restrictions of any property or dwelling unit. however, in no case shall private deed restrictions permit a lesser standard in the case of a minimum standadd of this section or permit a grea'Zer standard in the case of a maximum standard of this section. A. Development Standards. The development standards for residential development are arranged into two categories: (1) basic development standards, and (2) optional development standards. These standards are used in Conjunction with the Absolute Policies and Design Guidelines during the residential land development /design review process as discussed in Chapter 3. Each residential development must confer. m to either the basic standards or the optional standards. 1. Basic Development Standards: These sta.dards are intended to provide basic standards which will ensure good quality and compatible projects. A residential development over four units per acre is generally limited to the mid -point of the density range for which it is designated. These standards, as well as the density limitation, are intended to create a development which will be compatible and provide for proper transitions from more sens ° }.ive or less intense residential development. 2. Optional Development Standards: These standards are intended to provide high standards for the development of projects of superior quality and compatibility. The optional standards allow development at the higher end is of the designated density range.

Land Use Conflict Mitigation Measures presumed to exist between a following sections are the in combination to mitigate ..nn[.iw that much a condition for approval of (e) C yen Space Setbacks. By providing an open space buffer between C'Mflicting land uses conflicts can often be avoided. The width of the bufer required will depend on the severity of conflict and the extent of landscaping. To work effectively, the ownership, use, and mainte.iance of the open space buffer must be clearly defined. (b) Lancs^aping_ and Topagra his changes, As part of an open space b er or as s treatment. o land immediately adjacent to buildings, landscaping can be used to reduce conflicts. (c) Dense plantings of evergreens can provide a visual buffer. (1) Sensitive landscaping can soften the sharp visual contraSt between two abutting land uses by subduing the differences in architecture and bulls and by providing a gradual transition rather than a harsh edge between uses. LI -86- Section 4.5 (2) Dense growth of plants can oe visually appealing but also can be used to discourage unwanted and unsafe pedestrian or bicycle access between land uses. (3) Landscaping can be used in combination with other mitigation measures, such as rede:ning the width of open space buffer required and soften the visuai conflict created by safety and security fences. (4) Recontorring of the land can alter views, subdue sounds, reduce glare, change the sense of pro)dmity, and channel pedestrian travel. (d) Orientation. The strict spatial proximity between land uses and the apparent o: functional proximity cur. be very different depending on the orientation of buildings and activities in the two land uses. (1) The buildings themselves can cause a buffer to be created by effectively turning their backs on each other — orienting views, access and priniepal activities away from the other land use. Care must be taken, however, that a hazardous and unaesthetic 'no- mans" land is not created in the process. (2) Alternately, the intervening space can be eliminated altogether if the two buildings share a common. - wall. (3) An entire site plrn mi be oriented so that the activities rnd function:: are aligned hierarchically — placing those least compatible furthest frcm the common boundary between land uses and those rnost compatible near that boundary (i.e., single story adjacent to si :gle story). (e) Barriers and Alleviation. It may ae approp-iate and necessary to use physics'_ barriers to prevent the undesirable at`.ributes of one land use from affecting the people and activities in the adjacent land use. (1) Fences, walls and berms ^.an prevent the passage of people into areas that would be unsafe or insecure. (2) Light and noise can also be mitigated through physi ^`d barriers 1e� such as fences, walls, berms, screens and landscaping. (f) Architectural Compatibility. ?n addition to the architectural considerations involved in mitigation through orientation, the architectural design of buildings can reduce conflict and promote compatibility. (1) Materials, colo-,s, scale, and promi. nee of buildings in adjacent land uses can be coordinated so there is a gradual transition from ore land use to another rather than. a sharp and displeasing contrast. Purely aesthetic details that are "tacked" onto a building to cover up land use conflicts, however: will cause more harm than goad. -87- Section 4.5 (2) The architectural compatibility should rise from a total consideration of the function of each land use and the function of the space between them. (g) Circulation. Streets and parking, areas can often serve to reduce certain types of land use conflic._ Separation of conflicting uses with a street or parking area can provide a buffer. -88- 7 i-t t Lt Section 4.6 dial rment Criteria The special development criteria set forty: in this section are intended to provide minimum standards for accessory structures, Ia(aid$¢0116$ OXtitiMW fences, etc. A.

Section 4.9 General Design Guidelines A. Intent. The intent of the guidelines is to assist the developer in understanding and complying • -vith the City's standards for building and site design. The guidelines are based upon community design goals as expressed in the General Plum_, and encourage the orderly and harmonious appearance of structures and property along with associated facilities, such as signs, landscaping, parking areas, and streets. The guidelines establish a high standard for design quality but are flexible enough to allow individual expression and imaginative solutions. B. Applicability. The provisions of this section shall ao^ly to all development within all residential districts, unless otherwise specified herein. Any addition, remodeling, relocation or construction requiring a building permit within any residential district subject to Development /Design Review pursuant to Chdptcr 3 shall adhere to these guidelines where applicable. C. Site Plan Design 1. Existing Site Conditions. Natural features should be used to an advantage as design elements; such as, mature vegetation, landforms, drainage courses, rock outcroppings and views. Conversely, undesirable site features can be minimized through proper site planning and building orientation. 2. Buildinz Orientation. Placement of the buildings shall be done in a manner compatible with surrounding existing and planned uses and buildings. The setback from streets and adjacent properties should relate to the scale of the proposed building. Larger buildings require more setback area for a balance: of scale and compatibility with adjacent uses. Buildings should be oriented along a north-south axis, as much as possible, to encourage energy conservation. \J -98- Section 4.9 3. Access /Circulation. The access and circulation should be designed to provide a safe a'nd,,,efficient system for vehicles and pede3trnW13 Points of access shall comply with city access regulations and _shaik not conflict with other pla!med or existing access points. Two points of access shall be arovided for all but the smallest residential developments. The circulation system should be designed to reduce conflicts between vehicular and pedestrit,-n traffic, minimize impacts on adjacent properties; combine access where pazibie, and provide adequate maneuversng areas. Curvilinear streets � are encouraged whenever possible. vehicular= podestrtm traffic sWH be separated, s.o the extent possible, than the usej of a contirwa=system of public ord private sideway. 4. Parking Areas. Parking, areas should be dcsigaed to minimize visual disruptton o the overall project design. Parking areas should be screened from streets through combinations of mounding, landscaping, low profile walls and grade separations. The design of parking areas should also minimize auto noise, glare, and increases in ambie-t air temperature. This can be accomplished through sound walls, screening with fences or hedges, trees, and separation of parking spaces and driveways from residences. 5. La-nds� ing!2 en Space. Landscaping ail open spaces should be designed as an integral part of project design and enhance the building design, enhance public views and spaces and provide buffers and transitions where needed. Landscaping should provide for solar access and $iWO OWN ANNOIAU fdt energy conservation. 6. Fencing /Screening. Fences and walls are discouraged unless needed for a specific screening or safety purpose. Where they are needed, color, mater 1 and variation of the vertical and horizontal planes are needed to blend with the site and building design. The use of any fencing or walls should be consistent with the overall design theme. 7, Li ti . Adequate on -site lighting should be pro::ded to ensure a safe environmCnt while at the same time not cause areas of in light or glare. Fixtures and poles shall be designed and placed in a manner consistent and compatible with the overall site and building design character. 8. utilities and Ancillary Eta nt. on -site utilities and equipment shall be Gated in inconspicuous areas, away from public view. Where they are located in public view, they shall be screened with a combination of material that best suits the overall design theme. 9. Grading Development should relate to the natural surroundings and minimize grading by following the natural contours as much as possible. Graded slopes should be rounded and contoured to blend with the existing terrain. Split -level pads, built -up foundations, stepped footings, etc., can be used in areas of moderate to steep gradient. 19. Fire Safet . Development should be designed in accordance with Fire istriet requirements for two points of safe and ready access. Areas designated as high fire hazard areas shouid minimize fuel buildup around residences through greenbelts or cultivated fuel breaks. IPFD Section 4.9 D. Building Design 1. Design Theme. A recognizable design theme shall be established which is compatible with surrounding planned or existing developments and should be based upon prominent design features in the immediate area (e.g., trees, lendforms, historic landmarks). Subtle variations are encouraged which provide visual interest but do not create abrupt changes causing discord in the overall character of the immediate neighborhood. It is not intended that one style of architecture should be dominant but that individual structures shall create and enhance a high Quality and harmoniou.- community appearance. 2. Architecture. The architecture should consider compatibility with surrounding character, including har-nonious building style, form, size. color, material and roof line. Individual dwelling units should be distinguishable from one another and have separat, entrances. Shallow patterns created by architectural elements such as overhangs, projection or recession of stories, balconies, reveals, and awnings contribute to a building's character while aiding in climate control. Further, changes in the roof level or planes provide architectural interest. 3. Scale. The mass and scale of the building should be proportionate to the site, open spaces, street locations and surrounding developments. Setbacks and overall heights should provide an element of openness and human scale. 4. Materials and Colors. Colors, textures and materials shall be coordinated to achieve total compatibility of c?sign, They should blend well with the environment and not cause abrupt changes. 5. Signing . Every bu!!ding shall be designed with a precise concept for adequate signing. Provisions for sign placement; sign scale in relationship with building and readability shall be considered in developing the signing concept. While providing the most effective signing, it shall also be highly compatible with the building and site design relative to color, material and placement. 6. Equipment Screening. Any equipment, whether on the roof, side of building, or tteound, shall be screened. The method of screening shall be architecturally compatible in terms of material, color, shape, and size. The screening design shall blend with the building design. Where individual equipment is provided, a continuous screen is desirable.

The performance development criteria are based on these objectives. 1. Soils /Gn ding: (a) Establish proper soil management techniques to reduce the adverse effects of erosion. (b) Minimize alteration of the landform in the foothills. (c) Protect: natural landforms of citywide significance. 2_ Pub'"x Safety: (a) Restrict structures and facilities from geologically hazardous areas. (b) Restrict development in areas with unsafe soil conditions. (c) Require geologic or soil engineering investigation for developments proposed in special geologic study areas. (d) Require special construction features in the design of structures when site investigations confirm potential geologic hazards. (e) Require adequate water supply and pressure for all proposed development in accordance with Foothill Fire District standards. (f) Require fuel modification programs. (g) Establish minimum standards for fire safety with regard to access and fire mitigation measures. 3. Water: (a) Protect and eaarce the character of creeks and channels. (b) Retain the natural drainage of the area as much as possible. (c) Promote programs to conserve water. (d) Protect waterways from indiscriminate erosion and pollution- -137- Section 9.2 (e) Promote ground water recharge. 4. Animal and Plant Life- (a) help to preserve lands having biological significance especially riparian (water relater) areas and their associated woodland vegetation. (b) Maintain and reestabush, where feasible, natural vegetive communities and dominant landscape elements unique to the City. (c) Encourage reten,io:i of areas with significar_t native vegetation and habitat value. (d) Help to protect natural areas for ecologic, educational, and other scientific study purposes. 5. Environmental Design: (a) Protect and improve the scenic quality of the City. (b) Design buildings to minimize advers` environmental -mpacts and resource consumption. (c) Use the relationship between built form and open space to strengthen the imrge and identity of the City. Section 9.2 Use Begalatiaas 40 A. The Hillside Residential District permits single residential dwellings either on se-arate lots or clustered together in a buildable area along with accessory structures only. Uses other time residential dwellings are deemed to be too intensive and nct consistent with the Gene-al Plan. B. The maximum dwe,ling unit . density may not exceed two units per net buildable acre. C. Environmental studies and investigations such as, but not limited to, geological, hydrological, seismic, slope a.id soil conditions, access /circulation, and biota researeb, shall be conducted for any development in ti-xis District. Based on this information, the actual number of Lweiung units shall be determined, Dete:-mining the buildable area of a site must also meet the performance development ceiteria in tnis chapter. D. A precise site development plan showing lot layouts, access, street design, building locations, building design, and gmdug, must be prepared in accordance with the residential review procedures aLmZaned in cImpters 3 end , in conjunction with any subdivisi,,n or development proposal in t'_-e E iside Residential District.

Minimum Parcel Size: No absolute minimum parcel widths and depths are required. Buildable area is considered to be a cintiguous area of the lot which i les than 10% in natural slope or the area determined through the environmental studies and investigation as buildable. B. Setbacks: Front, side and rear setbacks shall be determined based upon the precise development plan and environmental studies. C. Building Height: Dwellings and other accessory structures shall not exceed thirty -five (35) feet in overall height. D. Parking: See parking regulations contained in chapter S. Section 9.4 Development Performance Standards The following minimum performance stan*°:rds are required for any development v:ithin the Hiliside Residential Distriet. Necessary information shall be provided on or with the precise development plan to determine enmpliance with these standards. A. Soils; Grading 1. Grading of any site shall conform to the following grading standards, based upon the percent of the natural slope. (a) Less than 10 %: Redistribution of earth over large areas may be permitted. However, such grading shall not disrupt existing land form, major drainage patterns, and areas of significant vegetation. (b) 10% - 18.9 %: Some gradi_g may occur, but landforms must retain their natural character. Padded building sites may be allowed, but custom foundations, split level designs, stacking and clustering is e.<pected to mitigate the need for large padded building areas. (c) 20% - 29.9 %: Mass grading is rot permitted. Special hillside architectural and design techniques are exile -ted -i order to conform to the natural lanai form. (d) 30% - 339.9 %: Development and limivad grading can only occur in this category if it can be clearly demonscated that safety, environmental and aesthetic impacts can be avoided. (e) Greater than 40%: Development and grading is prohibited in this slope category. All graded areas shall be protected from wind and water erosion through a-,- eptable slope stabilization raethods such as p'.anting, walls, or netting. -139 - Section 9.3 & 9.4 3.
