6) Any proposed river rock or fieldstone shall be natural stone.
Manufactured fieldstone or river rock is not permitted.
7) Freestanding parking lot lighting shall not exceed a maximum height of
15 feet as measured from finished grade to the highest point of the
light fixture.
8) All signs require the submittal of a Sign Permit application for review
and approval by the Planning Director prior to installation. All signs
shall comply with the signage standards for residential zones as set
forth in Section 14.20.110, Permitted Signs — Residential Zones.
9) Approval of this request shall not waive compliance with any sections

Building Code, or any other City Ordinances.
10) Any revision to the approved plans shall require review and approval by
the Planning Director.
Engineering Department
1) Provide a Final Drainage Study to determine how Q100 flows will split
between East Avenue and the trapezoidal channel along the project
frontage. You may use the same flow rates as the City's consultant for
the East Avenue Master Plan Storm Drain.
a) Calculate existing flows in the 60-inch RCP, 48-inch RCP and
surface flows in East Avenue north of the project driveway.
b) Indicate the water surface elevation and depth of flow on full
width street sections, extended to include the channel, both north
and south of the project driveway.
c) Driveway high point shall be above the Q100 water surface for
East Avenue.
d) Design driveway culvert(s) for current capacity of the existing
trapezoidal channel.
e) If building permits are issued after the East Avenue Master Plan
Storm Drain is functionally complete, this condition can be
waived by the City Engineer.

a) Project driveway to be aligned with the "flag"driveway of the self
storage business on APN: 1100-771-10, across the street. The
drive approach shall conform to Standard Drawing 101, Type C,
and be at least 35 feet wide, measured at the back of sidewalk.
b) Ultimate curb face will be 32 feet from the street centerline and
back of sidewalk will be at 44 feet. The parkway shall slope at
2 percent from the top of curb to one foot beyond the sidewalk.
c) If building permits are issued before the East Avenue Master
Plan Storm Drain is functionally complete, install only the project
drive approach and an interim driveway with culvert(s) to
accommodate the existing open channel. The driveway culverts
shall outlet below the proposed pedestrian access and join the
existing surface drainage facility to the satisfaction of the City
Engineer.
d) Pay a contribution in lieu of construction for future street
improvements, including any reconstruction of the project
driveway.
e) Provide a low rock theme wall along the property line, consistent
with Figure 5-28A of the Etiwanda Specific Plan, to screen the

such on the street improvement plans.
f) Provide all traffic striping and signage, as required, including a
northbound left turn lane in East Avenue for the project driveway.

will occur. Installation of that storm drain will include laterals for both
the 60-inch and 48-inch RCP. If the site is developed before the storm
drain is installed, the site will need to be protected from Q100 surface
flows on East Avenue, without increasing impacts to downstream

Department to review for consistency with the Storm Drain Plans.
These Conditions of Approval shall be reprinted on the Sewer Plans

"Construct... per public improvement plans." Remove all
references to specific Standard Drawing numbers (these will be

d) Frontage improvements other than the drive approach and
pedestrian access should be labeled "future" since the
trapezoidal channel cannot be removed until the East Avenue
Master Plan Storm Drain is constructed.
e) Show the existing inlet to the low flow drainage facility (12-inch
PVC) installed by the City across this property frontage that
