ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT AND DEVELOPMENT REVIEW 90-20 - RANCON REALTY
FUND III The development of a 30.63 acre Office Park Master Plan
within the Industrial Park District (Subarea 7) of the Industrial Area
Specific Plan, located on the north side of Civic Center Drive between
White Oak Street and Red Oak Street - APN: 208-352-23, 24, 25, 49, and
50.
Background:
The master plan concept for the office park was reviewed by the
Committee (McNiel, Melcher, Coleman) On November 8, 1990, and (McNiel,
Melcher, Buller) on December 20, 1990. The previous Committee reviews
were conducted to provide specific direction to the applicant on site
plan design issues. In addition to the Site Plan, the applicant has
established Master Plan Design Guidelines for the project area
regulating parcel size, building design, circulation, landscaping and
signage. AS the site development standards have had no previous
Committee review, staff comments will focus on the attached design
guidelines.
Staff ~oments:
The following comments are intended to provide an outline for Committee
discussion.
Site Planning Guidelines:
The Master Plan Guidelines do not adequately integrate the existing
medical campus into the project. Incorporating the medical campus
is important to provide for integrated development and unity to the
Master Plan. Paseos are provided for greenbelt pedestrian links
between the projects, however, a strong plaza statement should also
be provided. The previously approved Master Plan (DR 87-25 and
CUP 87-17) show a large centralized plaza area between the existing
3-story medical office/ambulatory care facility and the future
building. The guidelines do provide some language establishing
requirements to provide for development of the plaza, however, the
criteria should be expanded as this centralized plaza is one of the
primary focal points of the project.
Building locations at the northeast corner of Red Oak Street and
Civic Center Drive and at the northwest corner of White Oak Street
and Civic Center Drive should be revised to locate the buildings
adjacent to the right-of-way and provide parking behind the
buildings.
DESIGN REVIEW COMMENTS
DR 90-20 - RANCON REALTY FUND III
AUGUST 8, 1991

The Master Plan should expand upon the environmental factor of
strong Santa Ana winds. Special attention should be given to the
building orientation and site plan design. Where possible, design
solutions should be used to protect the plazas from winds. Written
and graphic criteria with graphic design solutions should be
developed and added to the Master Plan.
Internal circulation patterns should be revised to allow for
vehicle connections between parcels through reciprocal access.
While some parcels do provide shared drive approaches, a stronger
link between parcels through the provision of reciprocal access
should be provided.
At the December 20, 1990 Design Review Committee meeting, the
applicant was requested to provide a Phasing Plan identifying how
the project site would be broken down into phases and what the
limits of each phase would be. The Phasing Plan is included on
pages 18 and 19 of the Design Guidelines.
Architecture:
The desired primary and accent building colors were provided on
page 24. Proposed building materials are identified on page 25.
These items should be reviewed by the Committee. The primary
building colors are earth toned and are successfully used in the
architectural prototypes. The Committee should also review the
accent colors.
Design prototypes have been included within the Master Plan Design
Guidelines and are provided On pages 27, 28, and 29. The building
types conform to the architectural styles presented in the
guidelines. However, the guidelines should be expanded to
establish more definite criteria to ensure a project identity and
architectural continuity.
Signage:
The Master Plan Design Guidelines include a Uniform Sign Program
establishing criteria for all signage within project boundaries. The
Uniform Sign Program is provided on pages 44 through 49.
The number of project monument signs should be revised. The Sign
Ordinance limits projects to a maximum of two monument signs
regardless of the number of parcels, buildings or size of the
project. A total of three monument signs are included in the
project.

The sign program should establish all criteria pertaining to
signage (i.e., letter style, size, color, etc.).
Design Review Comm{ttee ACtion:
Members Present: John Melcher, Wendy Vallette, Brad Buller
Staff Planner: Tom Grahn
The Committee reviewed the project and recommended approval with the
following modifications:
The Master Plan Guidelines should adequately integrate the existing
medical campus into the project. Written and graphic criteria
should be established identifying the size, design, and features of
the plaza area. At a minimum, the criteria should establish the
same features and level of detail approved for the plaza through
development of the previous master plan and medical complex
(DR 87-25 and CUP 87-17).
Additional cross-sections should be provided at the northeast
corner of Red Oak Street and Civic Center Drive and the northwest
corner of W~3ite Oak Street and Civic Center Drive. The
cross-sections should identify parkway improvements, berming,
landscaping and parking to ensure that adequate screening of
vehicles is provided. The cross-sections may result in additional
modifications by further increasing the parking setback measured
from the ultimate face of curb.
Internal circulation patterns should be revised to allow for
adequate connections between parcels to satisfy access requirements
of the Fire District. This may be accomplished through reciporal
drive aisles or landscaped areas with turf block.
Perimeter parkway improvements (i.e., sidewalk, street trees, etc.)
for the entire master plan should be installed with the development
of Phase I. The Guidelines should be revised to clarify that when
a cul-de-sac is adjacent to a phase boundary, the entire
cul-de-sac, including parkway improvements, should be installed
with the respective phase.
Section 3.4, page 23 of the Master Plan Guidelines, should be
revised to delete "rain gutters, drains, vents and scuppers." Rain
gutters, drains, etc., should be internalized so that no mechanical
or utility devices are visible on the exterior of buildings.

The Committee expressed an open feeling towards a Uniform Sign
Program designed consistent with architectural styles established
in the Guidelines. Existing street monument signs may be removed
and replaced with combination project identification and street
signage. Use of the project monument signs should be limited to
the corner of Red Oak Avenue and Civic Center Drive and the corner
of White Oak Avenue and Civic Center Drive. The monument sign
proposed at the intersection of Red Oak Avenue, Spruce, and White
Oak Avenue should be deleted. The Committee deferred review of the
Uniform Sign Program specifics to the Planning Con~ission.
These items should be submitted for City
prior to scheduling the application
consideration.

Staff Planner: Tom Grahn
The Committee reviewed the project and recommended approval with the
following modifications:
The wall proposed adjacent to Day Creek Boulevard should be
reviewed by the Community and Park Division for consistency with
the Day Creek Boulevard wall design concept. Design
reconunendations should be brought back to the Committee for
approval of the wall design.

A design option incorporating the parcel located directly north of
the project site (Railroad Avenue South) should be provided. If
the applicant is able to obtain the parcel and incorporate it
within project boundaries, a shift in the location of project
improvements (i.e., the fire station building) should also be
provided.
Should the Fire District continue the collection of household
hazardous waste at the Fire Station facility, proposed improvements
indicating location, method of containment (building Or removable
bin) should be provided. Approval by the San Bernardino County
Environmental Health Services Department will be a condition of
approval for locating household hazardous waste collection at this
site.
Should the Fire District choose to locate a "Heliport" within
project boundaries, approval from all other governing bodies (i.e.,
FAA, Caltrans, Etc.) shall be obtained prior to scheduling for
Planning Commission consideration. If approval from these
governing bodies is not sought, all reference to the "Heliport"
shall be deleted from the plans.
The gable roof on the front and rear of the carport building should
be deleted.
False truss elements should be deleted from the roof system.
Should the perimeter wall be capable of providing adequate wind
protection, the side walls of the carport building should be
removed. This will result in a carport structure open to all sides
and supported by multi-post pillars.
Roofing materials used at the translucent roofing system should be
clarified.
The decorative treatment of the response and visitor parking
driveways should tie in with materials used in the primary
facility. The applicant was directed to explore various material
options for review by the Planning Con~nission.

ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT AND MODIFICATION TO CONDITIONAL USE
PERMIT 89-23 - RANCHO CUCAMONGA REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY - The development
of Phase II of Fire Station No. 4, consisting of a 24,030 square foot
maintenance facility and training center, a 3,432 square foot training
tower and a 120 square foot pump test facility on 7.08 acres of land in
the Minimum Impact Heavy Industrial District (Subarea 9) of the
Industrial Area Specific Plan, located at the southwest corner of Jersey
Boulevard and Milliken Avenue - APN: 229-111-23.
Background:
Phase I of the project, which includes the primary facility, carport,
and service station buildings is currently under construction. The
current application contains the proposal for Phase II of the project
which includes the maintenance facility, training center, training
tower, and pump test pit enclosure buildings. Building elevations for
Phase II have been revised based upon design issues identified at the
Planning Commission workshop on February 7, 1991.
Staff Coments:
The overall architectural concept for Phase II should be reviewed
for design consistency with Phase I, currently under
construction. Materials, color, building mss, etc., are
consistent between phases.
The painted metal column, on the northeast and northwest
elevations, should be reviewed for design consistency with the
established architectural style. As there are no other building
forms that contain such a dominant element, providing a painted
metal finish may be inappropriate.
The painted metal fascia on the pump test enclosure building should
be revised and a brick fascia, consistent with the brick lintels,
should be provided.
Review the design of the plaza area centered between the fire
station, training center, and maintenance center. The current
design expands upon the texturized patterns established at the
project driveways. The brick material used in the sidewalks is the
same as that used in the driveways.

The Committee reviewed the project and recommended approval with the
following modifications:
1. The design Of metal columns on the northeast and northwest
elevations was revised. The proposed finish will be either a
brushed or anodized aluminum.
The design of the pump test enclosure building fascia was
considered acceptable and will remain a painted metal finish.
Review of the plaza design was deferred to the Planning
Con~nission. The Committee suggested removal of the proposed palm
trees and replacing with a large canopy shade tree.
Should the Fire District choose to locate a "Heliport" within
project boundaries, approval from all other governing bodies (i.e.,
FAA, Caltrans, Etc.) shall be obtained prior to scheduling for
Planning Commission consideration. If approval from these
governing bodies is not sought, all reference to the "Heliport"

- A residential subdivision and design review of 18 single family lots
on 3.84 acres of land in the Low Residential District (2-4 dwelling
units per acre), located on the east side of Hermosa Avenue between
Wilson Avenue and Banyan Street - APN: 201-183-01.
Site Characteristics:
The site is surrounded by Low Residential to the north and south,
Low-Medium Residential to the east and Very-Low Residential to the
west. The site is currently vacant except for some native vegetation.
The site slopes to the north at approximately 6 percent. The applicant
is proposing 3 primary elevations with 3 variations of each style.
Staff Comments:
The primary ridge line for elevation 1A-C should be broken up for
greater variation.
The side and rear elevations appear flat for Plan 1. The
elevations should incorporate pop-out elements for greater movement
in building planes.
The river rock detailing on the left side of elevation 1B provides
an abrupt transition between the pop-out window element and the
chimney to the left. The Committee should review the river rock
detailing for elevation 1B.
The river rock and brick detailing on the elevations should be
revised to finish off at a logical point. In addition, the accents
should be carried around the chimney element and the rest of the
front elevation.
The roof line above the garage unit of elevation 2C should be
redesigned. All that is visible is roofing material for 16-feet
vertically on the elevation.
The elevations for Plans 2 and 3 appear to be almost identical in
roof lines, massing and detailing.
Site Plan
Only 4 of the 18 units are proposed to be single story. Plan 1C
should be incorporated into the plan to provide variation in the
streetscape.

family lots on 2.39 acres of land in the Low Residential District (2-4
dwelling units per acre), located at the northeast corner of London and
Church Streets - APN: 1077-311-74.
Design Parameters:
The applicant is proposing an eight lot subdivision with lots ranging in
size from 7,204 square feet to 13,922 square feet. Two floor plans are
proposed and two basic elevations with three different architectural
treatments to each elevation. All plans offer either a 3-car garage or
a 2-car garage with a bonus area/den.
Associated with the project is the request for the removal of eight (8)
Eucalyptus globulus (Blue Gum) trees. The majority of the trees are
located along the projects northern boundary. The trees, as indicated
by the arborist study, are in poor health as a result of severe pruning
and environmental conditions in the last year.
Staff Comments:
The side and rear elevations should contain as much detail and
articulation as the front elevations. Although window trim pieces
and pop-out window details have been added, some of the elevations
still appear flat and lack movement.
All boundary and interior wall structures within the project should
be of permanent decorative materials.
