VACATION V-218—ETCO HOMES INC.—A request to vacate vehicular access rights for one . driveway on the west side of Etiwanda Avenue, south of Vintage Drive along Lot 11 of Tract Map 16867- APN: 225-611-39 Related File: DRC2011-00032. Commissioner Fletcher asked to pull the item for discussion. He asked legal counsel to explain the Vacation request more specifically. Steven Flower, Assistant City Attorney said the process for a Vacation is relatively routine and he • deferred the question to staff. Y Dan James, Senior Civil Engineer explained that when the subdivision was processed, a garage driveway access directly onto Etiwanda Avenue was not considered a desirable location by staff and therefore a restriction to construct the access there was placed on the project. As the project made • its way through the process and after further review, staff noticed the location of the private trail and that a second access to the private equestrian trail would be needed. He said in the spirit of the Etiwanda Specific Plan and because that driveway was needed for trail purposes, the City decided to vacate its own restriction placed on the construction of that driveway. Motion: Moved by Oaxaca, seconded by Fletcher, to adopt the Consent Calendar by minute action. Motion carried by the following vote: AYES: FLETCHER, HOWDYSHELL, MUNOZ, OAXACA, WIMBERLY NOES: NONE ABSENT: NONE - carried Chairman Munoz recused himself from hearing items B and C to avoid any perception of a conflict of interest because he is employed by a communications company.

Tabe van der Zwaag, Associate Planner, presented the staff report. Vice Chairman Howdyshell opened the public hearing. Edwin Kim, 381 Elmwood Drive, Pasadena, said he is representing the project applicant. He said staff did a good job on the report. He reported that even with the improvements,they will be keeping the same overall height of the existing monopine and the equipment shelter is already in place. Vice Chairman Howdyshell asked what determines which type of stealth design is used. Mr. Kim said that the entity (the City) has a lot of say in this and it may depend on the zoning where the communications facility is located. Vice Chairman Howdyshell closed the public hearing.

Mike Smith, Associate Planner, presented the staff report. He said Staff received no comments about the project proposal.

He confirmed that the report and the resolution for signature have since been corrected. Alexander Lew stated he represents the applicant. He said staff presented a thorough and accurate report. Commissioner Fletcher complimented staffs efforts on pushing high quality stealth design on these • applications and also for the efforts of the industry to make these facilities as stealth as possible. He said the City has some hidden in church crosses, clock towers and various types of trees. Commissioner Wimberly thanked staff for the comprehensive report. Vice Chairman Howdyshell said staff is doing a great job with these as the Commission is not receiving concerns or complaints from the public with respect to their appearance.

Tabe van der Zwaag, Associate Planner, presented the staff report. Chairman Munoz opened the public hearing. Vice Chairman Howdyshell asked for more information with respect to Exhibit B (floor plan) and asked where the games will go. Mr. van der Zwaag explained that there will be table top machines; they are small and can sit on tables or on the bar. Chairman Munoz asked if staff contacted the Police Department about the request and if they made the decision that this application request is not a concern. Mr. van der Zwaag confirmed that staff spoke with the PD and they said this business is not on their radar for problems. James Troyer, Planning Director noted that incidents that may not even be attributable to this particular business may be noted on the Police reports. Christina Stewart stated she represents the applicants. She said Mr. van der Zwaag did a greatjob, • and she had nothing to add to the report. Commissioner Oaxaca said he noticed their request to open earlier on Sundays. Ms. Stewart said that is because the games (televised sporting events) usually start at about 10:00 a.m. Chairman Munoz closed the public hearing. He noted the condition regarding a Security Plan. He asked if that is already in place. Mr. van der Zwaag stated that it is and that the condition was carried forward from their prior approval. Vice Chairman Howdyshell said she thought the hours would be fine. Commissioner Fletcher said the request is minor and that he hopes the additions will help the business succeed. Commissioner Wimberly said the change in hours and an earlier opening on Sundays should help them expand their customer base and that is a good idea. Commissioner Oaxaca said the change is not really significant. He noted that he has been there during the day and evening. He commented that it is a family oriented business, sports teams come there, and it appears to be well run. • Planning Commission Minutes -4- December 14, 2011 Chairman Munoz agreed. He reminded the applicant to read the resolution and to pay attention to Condition#7, which indicates that if it does not go well, it can be brought back to the Commission. • Motion: Moved by Fletcher, seconded by Howdyshell, to adopt the Resolution of Approval for Conditional Use Permit DRC2011-00990.

He said staff received a communication from the Applicant with a request to add a trailer to the site which is beyond the parameter of the original advertised request. He said another letter is also before the Commission regarding specific requests for the relief of certain conditions of approval. Mr. van der Zwaag suggested a continuance to unspecified date to allow staff time to re-advertise the item and to forward it to the Design Review Committee. James Troyer, Planning Director said the date should be non-specified because with the new requests, there is uncertainty about the process; it will have to be reviewed and re-noticed. Mr. van derZwaag said it will most likely come back to the Commission in February. Chairman Munoz asked if anyone in the audience wished to comment that cannot come anytime in the future. Seeing and hearing none, Chairman Munoz closed the public hearing.

He noted that additional Grading conditions have been added, are placed before the Commissioners for review, and are attached to the draft Resolution for approval. Chairman Munoz said it was an excellent report as this project proposal has a lot going on. Mr. Grahn added that on the northeast corner of the tract (Lot 6) is where the old Frost General Store was located. He said the Johnston House and office currently located on Lots 15 and16 will be the only structures moved and preserved on Lot 17. He noted the barn, garages and other outbuildings will not be moved. Chairman Fletcher asked if a Variance would still be needed if the orientation of the house was not accessed off of Etiwanda Avenue. Mr. Grahn stated that it still would have needed the Variance regardless of how it was oriented on the lot as there is a standard for lot depth in the Etiwanda Specific Plan. Commissioner Oaxaca asked if all the improvements shown on Page 14 for Lot 17 will be made by the applicants. Mr. Grahn said no, the exhibit is only conceptual as what could be. • Planning Commission Minutes -6- December 14, 2011 r Commissioner Oaxaca confirmed that just the relocation of the house and office will occur, the developer will place them on a new foundation, they will be re-roofed, utility connections provided • and then any future improvements will be on the City. Mr. Grahn stated that is correct. Commissioner Fletcher asked if when the house is moved if it will require some structural improvemens. Mr. Grahn said he did not know and deferred the question to the applicant. Vice Chairman Howdyshell said she likes the conceptual plan on Page 14 as it seems consistent with Etiwanda. Mr. Grahn noted that it will also have the same orientation as the Pearson House located to the north. Chairman Munoz opened the public hearing. Jim Manning, stated he is the applicant. He said he was here 1 year ago with a request from the Etiwanda Historical Society to come up with a better plan to save the Johnston house. He said that plan is before the Commission tonight. He said they (Manning Homes) will move the house and office to a new foundation, address structural issues, and beef it up, create a lot, provide utility connections, re-roof and do the land planning. He said the project will embellish and continue the historic area. He said he agrees with the comments and the staff report. He thanked Mr. Grahn for his assistance. • Commissioner Fletcher said he likes the conceptual plan and noted that it would be nice if the applicant would provide those improvements like they did at the Toews House. Vice Chairman Howdyshell said in Plan 1-A- bedroom #4 appears to be an attached casita. She said the French doors might not be desirable if "Gramma" lived there. She asked if there is an option if the buyer does not want the French doors. Mr. Manning said they would develop more options. He said the idea was to give access to that room without having to go through the house. Jim Frost presented a historical deed related to the Frost General Store signed in January 1906. He said when the store burned down he understood that all the rubble was pushed into the basement. He said there may be 2 fuel tanks there. He said he plans to start the process for historic designation of that corner of the property although a portion would be underneath a new driveway. He said he is interested in the street names and would appreciate consideration of them. He said the notice for the project never arrived. He said the conceptual plan is far better than expected. Gwynn Frost said the original layout of the house in 1890 was as a duplex which was then converted in 1896. She said on the west side of house was a cool room which she felt was a significant part of the building. She said it was built with thick walls and there is only one other in Etiwanda. She said it is used as an additional fridge. She said this room should be available for the public to see. She would like to know that it is considered and included in some way because this was a typical feature of houses back then. Mr. Troyer said it could be included with the rehab when the City is able to restore the building. He • thought this one will likely disintegrate if moved. Planning Commission Minutes -7- December 14, 2011 y Commissioner Fletcher said it looked like a poor addition that occurred later. He said it may have served that purpose but it did not appear original part of home. Richard Heath, 6956 Etiwanda Avenue said he has mixed emotions about the project. He said he is • sad to see the grapes go. He asked if the vines could be transplanted to preserve them. He expressed concern about gophers and rodents coming to his house during the grading/development phase and if the builder will handle the abatement. He said with respect to removal of the trees, he would like to be informed which trees behind his house will go. He said some of the Eucalyptus are in rough shape. He said he would like to know the timing for grading and when dirt will be flying. He noted the curb along Etiwanda Avenue is falling apart and he asked if its repair is part of the plan. He asked if the sidewalk will be asphalt or something else and if there will be a walkway behind his home as he is concerned about people walking behind or through the property. He asked if the homes closest to his lot could be single-story instead of two-story. Mr. Grahn said the trail with a block wall will be constructed along the east property line. He said the homes closest to his lot are two-story homes. Jim Manning said that with respect to the Frost site, he (the developer) is required to have an archeologist on site-through out the process to discover any artifacts. He said if there are fuel tanks on site, they cannot find them, but if they are buried, they will be discovered during grading. He said they will cooperate with the street names. He said they would do their best to mitigate the rodents. He said an arborist looked at the trees and submitted a report. He said they will be replacing the removed trees at a ratio of 3-1. He said he would notify the residents before grading and rebuild the curb. He said the sidewalk will be moved, but he will need to approach the owner to get permission to use 2 more feet of his property to get the sidewalk, the full street street-width and the new curb. He said folks are welcome to take some grape vines to transplant. He said he hopes the timing of the development will be in the spring, but it depends on the economy. He said they are moving ahead with engineering plans. • Commissioner Fletcher asked what is required with respect to archeological finds. Mr. Manning said the grading will be performed with the archaeologist on site. He said they will go down in 6-inch lifts,walk the area and check it after each lift for artifacts until they have gone at least 5 feet down. Chairman Munoz closed the public hearing. Mr. Grahn said the conditions regarding archeological finds should adequately address this concern. He said he was not aware of any tanks being there, but if they are there,they will be discovered. He said with respect to street names; Frost Brothers Court may be considered, but it must meet safety criteria. He said the issue of the cooler will be addressed at the time of preservation. He said the pictures of that room appear to be a precision block. He said it could be restored to look more like the period. He said the grape vines have probably not been irrigated and therefore the older ones may not transplant well. He said people will be allowed to get on-site to obtain the vines. Chairman Munoz asked how will people get notified of that. Mr. Grahn said staff can work with the Historic Society and to let them know. He said the rodent issue will be addressed by Manning Homes and they will let the other owners know about the timing of the development as well. He said the curb improvements will be completed with the tract. Commissioner Fletcher said that if the City agrees with the conceptual plan, it would be nice if they could preserve some of those original vines to be incorporated into that plan. • Planning Commission Minutes -8- December 14, 2011 / Chairman Munoz noted that it is not Mr. Manning's responsibility to move those nor preserve those vines until that time. • Commissioner Fletcher said Mr. Grahn did a good job and it would be nice to work out the street naming that would be acceptable to the Frosts, He said it would also be nice if the City could preserve some vines to move to the new site. He said the tree removal seems acceptable as they will be replaced with healthy ones. Commissioner Wimberly said he has no real issues with the project proposal. He said he worked with the applicant at DRC and agreed the proposal is a real win for the area. He said the applicant worked well with staff and he looks forward to seeing the development. Commissioner Oaxaca thanked the applicant for working on this. He said he went the extra mile to preserve and relocate those buildings. He said this is important to him as he lives close by and he is aware of the historical significance of the site. He said he is hopeful some vines can be preserved for a nice finishing touch as well as some artifacts from the Frost General Store. He said this project is a new opportunity for historic preservation to occur. Vice Chairman Howdyshell said she is pleased to see this combination of new development and historic preservation. She complimented the applicant for taking care of this and staff did a greatjob to recognize all the components. She said she wants to be sensitive to Mr. Heath with the development impacts. She said she is looking forward to seeing the project. Chairman Munoz gave kudos to all for a great example of partnership between developer, the Historic Society and the City; not long ago this home was slated for demolition and now 4 years later we have a plan to move the home, shore up, reroof, and restore it. This will be a wonderful addition to our City. Thanks to Mr. Manning, he was very easy to work with and brought alternate plans.. • Staff prepared an excellent report and has a great relationship with the applicant. The Johnston home is on its way to resurrection, please keep Mr. Frost notified of project related items. Commissioner Fletcher added that the Variance makes sense. Motion: Moved by Howdyshell, seconded by Fletcher, to adopt the Resolutions of Approval for Tentative Tract Map SUBTT18819, Development Review DRC2011-00629, Variance DRC2011- 00383 and Tree Removal Permit DRC2011-00638 and to adopt a Mitigated Negative Declaration of environmental impacts. Motion carried by the following vote: AYES: FLETCHER, HOWDYSHELL, MUNOZ, OAXACA, WIMBERLY NOES: NONE ABSENT: NONE - carried DIRECTOR'S REPORTS K. DEVELOPMENT CODE UPDATE STATUS REPORT AND REVIEW OF PROPOSED CHANGES James Troyer, Planning Director, gave the staff report and a brief PowerPoint presentation(copy on file). Commissioner Fletcher commented on the provisions for subtenant signage. He also asked about hand held human signs. Mr. Troyer said staff is still working on the provisions for subtenant signage and they will at least be • able to have one sign regardless of the business square footage as the intent is for large tenants Planning Commission Minutes -9- December 14, 2011 such as the large groceries, banks,etc. He said it is not intended for things such as a mini-mall that would be located inside a major tenant building space. Commissioner Fletcher asked about the provision for subtenants within a four story building. He • asked if this is going to be worked out. Mr. Troyer said they are still working on that. Mr. Troyer said they are still working on hand held signs as they are considered non-commercial speech that we have to allow. Steven Flower,Assistant City Attorney said they are a form of non-commercial speech but because they are often found in the public right of way it is altogether a different issue. Commissioner Fletcher commented that they need to be sure they do not block the vehicular line of sight. Commissioner Oaxaca asked with respect to the increase in the number of tenants on monument signs if any increase in size would be given to allow all the tenants space. James Troyer, Planning Director noted that the maximum height is 8 feet so the additional tenant signs are easy to accommodate. He said the name of the center was also part of the previous calculation and now it is not so it actually doubles the number allowed on a single monument. He said we are also looking at how many monument signs are allowed per center and that we may consider more in the future. Commissioner Oaxaca asked if signage on private property was addressed not in terms of smaller campaign signs, but big banners on a house for example. He asked if this could be regulated as a visual nuisance. Mr. Flower said we can limit the size of the sign and that is already covered in the current Code. • Chairman Munoz asked about the number of political signs allowed on private property. Mr. Troyer said 1 per parcel is allowed in non-residential zones with a size restriction. Vice Chairman Howdyshell mentioned that she has seen a vehicle with a trailer driving around with billboard mounted on the back of the trailer and sometimes it is parked in a lot for a period of time and then it is moved to another location. Mr. Troyer said this was addressed through the Vehicle Code. He said the City also changed the Municipal Code so that now the City has the right to enforce the Vehicle Code. Commissioner Fletcher mentioned that some businesses have vans covered with signage that is parked in their own lot. He said this can be a sensitive issue when a large vendor has many decorated vans sifting in their lot but a small business had a van and they were notified that it was a violation. Mr. Troyer said this concern also comes up in residential areas in that someone may have a home office and their vehicle has signage on it. He said the City will not enforce it if it is not a commercial vehicle. Mr. Flower said we are mainly looking at parked off-site signs or the case of'wrapped'vehicles that are being parked somewhere or when a trailer is parked somewhere; then it becomes an off-site sign and that is what the City is enforcing. • Planning Commission Minutes -10- December 14, 2011 The secretary received and filed the report. • PUBLIC COMMENTS None COMMISSION BUSINESS AND COMMENTS Chairman Munoz welcomed Desiree Lawson, Office Specialist II to the Planning Department. He said she is joining an excellent team and she is joining an excellent assistant to the Director. Commissioner Wimberly noted the Farrell's grand opening and said it is a nice place. James Troyer, Planning Director said the DRC did a great job and helped find the perfect compromise for the design of the exterior of the building. Chairman Munoz said the DRC was pleased with the result and the reward is that the parking lot at Terra Vista is really busy. He also noted that Hobby Lobby is also contributing to that. He offered kudos to all-there was teamwork between the staff and the design team from Farrell's. Vice Chairman Howdyshell noted that both entities created many jobs. • ADJOURNMENT Motion: Moved by Howdyshell, seconded by Wimberly, carried 5-0, to adjourn. The Planning Commission adjourned at 9:20 p.m. Respectfully submitted, James R.

Troyer, AICP, Planning Director BY: Tabe van der Zwaag, Associate Planner SUBJECT: CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT DRC2011-01138 - AT&T MOBILITY - A request to replace 9 antennas with 12 antennas and related equipment for an existing 45-foot high (top of palm fronds at 50 feet) monopalm wireless communication facility (originally approved as Conditional Use Permit DRC2009-00681) in the Regional Related Commercial District of the Foothill Boulevard Districts (Subarea 4), located at 12879 Foothill Boulevard — APN: 0229-031-28. This project is categorically exempt from the requirement of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to State CEQA Guidelines Section 15301 (Class 1 Exemption - Existing Facilities). SITE DESCRIPTION: A. Surrounding Land Use and Zoning: North - Church, Commercial Development, and Vacant Land,- Regional Related Commercial • and Community Commercial District of the Foothill Boulevard Districts - Subarea 4 South - Vacant land, Manufacturing Facility, and a MWD Water Retention Basin, General Industrial (Subarea 8) and Light Industrial (Etiwanda South Overlay) East - Vacant Land and Single-Family Residences; Community Commercial (Foothill Boulevard Districts - Subarea 4) and Low Residential (Etiwanda South Overlay) West - 1-15 Freeway B. General Plan Designations: Project Site - General Commercial North - General Commercial South - General Industrial East - General Commercial and Low Residential (2 — 4 dwelling units/acre) West - 1-15 Freeway C. Site Characteristics: The existing wireless communication facility is located within a multi-parcel 58.65-acre retail center occupied by various tenants, including Food 4 Less, Living Spaces, and Walmart. The facility is located adjacent to the rear elevation of the tenant space at 12879 Foothill Boulevard. ANALYSIS: A. Project Description: The applicant proposes replacing the 9 existing antennas with 12 new antennas in order to upgrade the facility to the latest wireless transmission technology (LTE). • The existing 45-foot high stealth wireless communication facility (top of palm fronds at 50 feet) is in the form of a palm tree. Item A PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT DRC2011-01138—AT&T MOBILILTY January 11, 2012 Page 2 The new antennas are 4 feet longer than the existing antennas, though the overall height will not • be increased as the applicant is lowering the point where the antennas are attached to the trunk of the monopalm by 2 feet. The changes will also include adding 12 remote radio units (RRU), two small surge suppressors and a GPS antenna. The related equipment will be housed inside the existing walled enclosed equipment shelter. Staff has added a condition of approval for the installation of additional palm fronds to better screen the extended antennae. B. Entitlement Requirement: Section 17.26.020 of the Development Code classifies wireless communication facilities that are over the height limit of the development district in which they are located as Major Wireless Facilities. Development Code Section 17.26.070 states that Major Wireless facilities must be approved by a Conditional Use Permit. The existing wireless communication facility is 10 feet above the 35-foot maximum height limit of the Regional Related Commercial District and was approved by a Conditional Use Permit on May 12, 2010, (DRC2009-00681). Development Code Section 17.04.030 requires that the Planning Commission approve modifications to an approved Conditional Use Permit. C. Environmental Assessment: The Planning Department staff has determined that the project is categorically exempt from the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and the City's CEQA Guidelines. The project qualifies as a Class 1 exemption under State CEQA Guidelines Section 15301, which covers the repair, maintenance, permitting and minor alterations of existing facilities. Because the project only involves adding new antennas to an existing wireless communication with no changes to the size or location of -the existing equipment enclosure, staff concludes that there is no substantial evidence that the project will • have a significant effect on the environment. The Planning Commission has reviewed the Planning Department's determination of exemption, and based on its own independent judgment, concurs in the staffs determination of exemption. CORRESPONDENCE: This item was advertised as a public hearing in the Inland Valley Daily Bulletin newspaper, the property was posted, and notices were mailed to all property owners within a 660-foot radius of the project site. Staff has not received any letters or phone calls expressing concern over the Conditional Use Permit. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of Conditional Use Permit DRC2011-01138 through adoption of the attached Resolution of Approval with conditions. Respectfully subbmitte f Ja s R.

A. Recitals. 1. AT&T Mobility filed an application for Conditional Use Permit DRC2011-01138, as described in the title of this Resolution. Hereinafter in this Resolution, the subject Conditional Use Permit request is referred to as "the application." 2. On January 11, 2012, the Planning Commission of the City of Rancho Cucamonga conducted a duly noticed public hearing on the application and concluded said hearing on that date. 3. All legal prerequisites prior to the adoption of this Resolution have occurred. B. Resolution. NOW, THEREFORE, it is hereby found, determined, and resolved by the Planning • Commission of the City of Rancho Cucamonga as follows: 1. The Planning Commission hereby specifically finds that all of the facts set forth in the Recitals, Part A, of this Resolution are true and correct. 2. Based upon the substantial evidence presented to the Planning Commission during the above-referenced public hearing on January 11, 2012, including written and oral staff reports, together with public testimony, the Planning Commission hereby specifically finds as follows: a. The existing wireless communication facility is located at the southwest corner of Foothill Boulevard and Etiwanda Avenue within a multi-parcel 58.65-acre retail center at 12879 Foothill Boulevard; and b. The subject property is within the Regional Related Commercial District of the Foothill Boulevard Districts (Subarea 4); and C. The properties to the north are within the Regional Related Commercial and Community Commercial Districts within the Foothill Boulevard District(Subarea 4)and consists of a church, commercial development, and .vacant land; the properties to the south are within the General Industrial (Subarea 8) and the Light Industrial Development Districts (Etiwanda South Overlay)and consist of vacant land, a manufacturing facility and a MWD water retention basin; the properties to the east are within the Community Commercial and Low Residential Development Districts and consist of vacant land and single-family residences; and the property to the west is the 1-15 freeway; and • d. The applicant proposes replacing 9 existing antennas with 12 new antennas in order to upgrade the facility to the latest wireless transmission technology (LTE). The existing 45-foot high stealth wireless communication facility (top of fronds 50 feet) is in the form of a palm A-20 PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 12-01 DRC2011-01138 —AT&T MOBILITY January 11, 2012 Page 2 tree; and • e. The new antennas are 4 feet longer than the existing antennas, though the overall height will not be increased, as the applicant is lowering the point where the antennas are attached to the trunk of the monopalm by 2 feet. The changes will also include adding 12 remote radio units (RRU), two small surge suppressors, and a GPS antenna. The related equipment will be housed inside the existing walled enclosed equipment shelter; and f. Section 17.26.020 of the Development Code classifies wireless communication facilities that are over the height limit of the development district in which they are located as Major Wireless Facilities.

The proposed use, together with the conditions applicable thereto, will not be • detrimental to the public health, safety, welfare, or materially injurious to the properties or the improvements in the vicinity; and C. The application,which contemplates operation of the proposed use,complies with each of the applicable provisions of the Development Code. 4. The Planning Department staff has determined that the project is categorically exempt from the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and the City's CEQA Guidelines. The project qualifies as a Class 1 exemption under State CEQA Guidelines Section 15301, which covers the repair, maintenance, permitting and minor alterations of existing facilities. Because the project only involves adding new antennas to an existing wireless communication with no changes to the size or location of the existing equipment enclosure, staff concludes that there is no substantial evidence that the project will have a significant effect on the environment.The Planning Commission has reviewed the Planning Department's determination of exemption, and based on his independent judgment, concurs in the staffs determination of exemption. 5. Based upon the findings and the conclusions set forth in Paragraphs 1, 2, 3, and 4 above, the Planning Commission hereby approves the application, subject to each and every condition set forth below and in the Standard Conditions, attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference.

General Plan Designations: Project Site - General Commercial and Medium Residential North - 1-15 Freeway and Medium Residential South - General Commercial East - General Commercial and Medium Residential West - 1-15 Freeway and General Commercial C. Site Characteristics: The 11.31-acre site is developed with a Catholic church, school and related buildings. ANALYSIS: A. Proiect Description: The applicant proposes constructing a wireless communication facility on the site of the Sacred Heart Catholic Church located at 12676 Foothill Boulevard. The facility will be in the form of a 45-foot high monopine (top of branches at 50 feet). The facility will be located approximately 450 feet north of the curb face on Foothill Boulevard and 55 feet east of the 1-15 Freeway sound wall, adjacent to an existing building. The related control equipment, including a backup generator, will be housed within two new open-walled equipment enclosures that will be located on either side of the existing trash enclosure, against the 1-15 Freeway sound • wall. The facility will require the elimination of two parking spaces that will be replaced along the north property line. The project will necessitate the removal of one tree in order to install the monopine (Tree Removal Permit DRC2011-01165). B. Entitlement Requirements: The maximum height limit for the Regional Related Commercial Development District (Foothill Boulevard Districts — Subarea 4) is 35 feet. The proposed wireless communication facility will have a maximum height of 45 feet (top of branches at 50 feet). Section 17.26.060 of the Development Code permits wireless facilities to go over the maximum height limit when they are approved through a Conditional Use Permit by the Planning Commission. Section 17.26.030.A.5 states that major wireless communication facilities may not be within 300 feet of a residential development district unless they are collocated with a second wireless communication facility. A portion of the parking lot of the church is zoned Medium (M) Residential. The applicant has been unable to find a second carrier to collocate on the.facility. The facility, though, has the potential to be collocated in the future. To overcome the 300-foot residential development district separation requirement, the applicant has submitted a Variance request (DRC2011-01060). It should be noted that no residential dwelling units are within 300 feet of the facility. C. Design Review Committee: The Design Review Committee (Wimberly, Granger) reviewed the project on December 6, 2011. The Committee was accepting of the overall design of the facility but felt that the applicant should add a raised planter with a seat wall around the base of the monopine. D. Variance Facts For Findings: The applicant is requesting a Variance to reduce the 300-foot residential development district separation requirement in order to construct a major wireless • communication facility. B,C,D - 2 PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT DRC2011-00688, DRC2011-01060, AND DRC2011-01165 —VERIZON WIRELESS January 11, 2012 Page 3 • The purpose of a Variance is to provide flexibility from the strict application of development standards; however, the Planning Commission must make the following findings in order to approve the request. The following are facts to support these findings: 1. Finding: The strict or literal interpretation and enforcement of the specified regulation would result in practical difficulty or unnecessary physical hardship inconsistent with the objective of this Code. Fact: The intent of the 300-foot residential separation requirement is to limit the number of wireless communication facilities . adjacent to residential developments. While a portion of the site is zoned for residential development, it is currently being used to meet the parking requirements for the church on the site. The site, therefore, meets the intent of limiting the number of wireless facilities adjacent to residential developments. For this reason, the literal interpretation of the separation requirement would require the applicant to locate the facility in a less optimal location, which would place an unnecessary physical hardship on the applicant. 2. Finding: There are exceptional or extraordinary circumstances or conditions applicable to the property involved or the intended use of the property that do not apply generally to other properties in the same zone. Fact: The site is divided into two development districts, Regional Related Commercial • and Medium Residential. The residential portion of the site is being used as a parking lot for the church and the school on the site. Therefore, the residentially designated portion of the site is being used for non-residential purposes, creating an extraordinary circumstance that does not apply to other properties in the Regional Related Commercial or Medium Residential Districts. 3. Finding: The strict or literal interpretation and enforcement of the specified regulation would deprive the applicant of privileges enjoyed by the owners of other properties in same zone. Fact: In that without a reduction in the 300-foot residential separation requirement, the applicant would be unable to develop a major wireless facility on the site, which is a permitted use in the Regional Related Commercial District. 4. Finding: The granting of the Variance will not constitute a grant of special privilege inconsistent with the limitations on other properties classified in the same zone. Fact: The intent of the 300-foot residential separation requirement is to limit the number of wireless communication facilities adjacent to residential developments. The facility will not be within 300 feet of any existing or planned residential developments. Additionally, the facility has been designed to facilitate an additional carrier when one becomes available. 5. Finding: The granting of the Variance will not be detrimental to the public health, safety • or welfare, or materially injurious to the properties or improvements in the vicinity. B,C,D - 3 PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT DRC2011-00688, DRC2011-01060, AND DRC2011-01165 —VERIZON WIRELESS January 11, 2012 Page 4 • Fact The site is not within 300 feet of existing or planned residential dwelling units and will be designed to blend in with the exiting on-site trees. Additionally, the Federal Telecommunication Act dictates that municipalities may not regulate wireless facilities based upon health concerns. E. Environmental Assessment: The Planning Department staff has determined that the project is categorically exempt from the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and the City's CEQA Guidelines. The project qualifies as a Class 3 exemption under State CEQA Guidelines Section 15303, which covers the installation of new equipment and facilities in small structures. Because the project only involves installing a 45-foot high wireless communication facility along with related equipment and the construction four new parking stalls, staff concludes that there is no substantial evidence that the project will have a significant effect on the environment. The Planning Director has reviewed the Planning Department's determination of exemption, and based on his own independent judgment, concurs in the staffs determination of exemption. CORRESPONDENCE: This item was advertised as a public hearing in the Inland Valley Daily Bulletin newspaper, the property was posted, and notices were mailed to all property owners within a 660-foot radius of the project site. Staff has not received any letters or phone calls expressing concern over the Conditional Use Permit. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of Construction Conditional Use Permit DRC2011-00688, Variance DRC2011-01060, and Tree Removal Permit DRC2011-01165 through adoption of the attached Resolution of Approval with conditions. • Respectfully submi ed, Jam 2R' Troyer, AICP Pla Director JRT:TV/ge Attachments: Exhibit A - Complete Set of Plans Exhibit B - Photo Simulation Exhibit C - Signal Propagation Maps Draft Resolution of Approval for Conditional Use Permit DRC2011-00688 Draft Resolution of Approval for Variance DRC2011-01060 Draft Resolution of Approval for Tree Removal Permit DRC2011-01165 • B,C,D - 4 1 • � z ! , , , § a , zza I I 3 � 3 ! - , � Z N ` w O ƒ m / E ^ tM91 4 & � LL Z dig / § \ \ P. &� � d ; , � ) § * ; f TR.. q/p | LLI . ! ] Q) ( ( B , k ( � 2 , /\ ) ) ( .� (n { l \ ; ! ) � o/ [ [ � | £ h § ! h ;!i EXHIBIT A B,e,D - 5 FPS, .

A. Recitals. 1. Verizon Wireless filed an application for Conditional Use Permit DRC2011-00688, as described in the title of this Resolution. Hereinafter in this Resolution, the subject Conditional Use Permit request is referred to as "the application." 2. On January 11, 2012, the Planning Commission of the City of Rancho Cucamonga conducted a duly noticed public hearing on the application and concluded said hearing on that date. 3. All legal prerequisites prior to the adoption of this Resolution have occurred. • B. Resolution. NOW, THEREFORE, it is hereby found, determined, and resolved by the Planning Commission of the City of Rancho Cucamonga as follows: 1. The Planning Commission hereby specifically finds that all of the facts set forth in the Recitals, Part A, of this Resolution are true and correct. 2. Based upon the substantial evidence presented to the Planning Commission during the above-referenced public hearing on January 11, 2012, including written and oral staff reports, together with public testimony, the Planning Commission hereby specifically finds as follows: a. The 11.31-acre site is developed with a Catholic church, school, and related buildings; and b. The subject property is within the Regional Related Commercial District of the Foothill Boulevard Districts (Subarea 4)and the Medium Residential District of the Etiwanda Specific Plan (south overlay); and C. The properties to the north are developed with the 1-15 Freeway and a multi-family residential development, which is within the Medium (M) Development District of the Etiwanda Specific Plan (south overlay); the properties to the south are developed with a commercial development, which is within the Regional Related Commercial Development District of the Foothill Boulevard Districts—Subarea 4; the properties to the east are developed with a multi-family development and a commercial development,which are within the Medium (M) Residential District of the Etiwanda Specific Plan (south overlay) and the Regional Related Commercial Development • District of the Foothill Boulevard Districts—Subarea 4, respectively; and, the properties to the west are developed with the 1-15 Freeway and a commercial development, which is within the Regional Related Commercial Development District of the Foothill Boulevard Districts — Subarea 4. B,C,D - 17 PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 12-02 DRC2011-00688 —VERIZON WIRELESS January 11, 2012 Page 2 d. The applicant proposes constructing a wireless communication facility on the site of • the Sacred Heart Catholic Church located at 12676 Foothill Boulevard. The facility will be in the form of a 45-foot high monopine (top of branches at 50 feet). The facility will be located approximately 450 feet north of the curb face on Foothill Boulevard and 55 feet east of the 1-15 Freeway sound wall, adjacent to an existing building. The backup generator and related control equipment will be within two new open-walled equipment enclosures that will be located on either side of the existing trash enclosure, against the 1-15 Freeway sound wall. The facility will require the elimination of two parking spaces that will be replaced along the north property line; and e. The maximum height limit for the Regional Related Commercial Development District of the Foothill Boulevard Districts, Subarea 4, is 35 feet. The proposed wireless communication facility will have a maximum height of 45 (top of branches at 50 feet). Section 17.26.060 of the Development Code permits wireless facilities to go over the maximum height limit when they are approved through a Conditional Use Permit by the Planning Commission. Section 17.26.030.A.5 states that major wireless communication facilities may not be within 300 feet of a residential district unless collocated with a second wireless communication facility..A portion of the parking lot of the church is zoned Medium (M) Residential. The applicant has been unable to find a second carrier to collocate with them on the facility. The facility, though, has the potential to be collocated in the future. To overcome the 300-foot residential development district separation requirement, the applicant has submitted a Variance request (DRC2011-01060). 3. Based upon the substantial evidence presented to the Planning Commission during the above-referenced public hearing, and upon the specific findings of facts set forth in Paragraphs 1 and 2 above, the Planning Commission hereby finds and concludes as follows: • a. The proposed use is in accord with the General Plan, the objectives of the Development Code, and the purposes of the district in which the site is located; and b. The proposed use, together with the conditions applicable thereto, will not be detrimental to the public health, safety, welfare, or materially injurious to the properties or the improvements in the vicinity; and C. The application, which contemplates the operation of the proposed use, complies with each of the applicable provisions of the Development Code. 4. The Planning Department staff has determined that the project is categorically exempt from the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and the City's CEQA Guidelines. The project qualifies as a Class 3 exemption under State CEQA Guidelines Section 15303, which covers the installation of new equipment and facilities in small structures. Because the project only involves installing a 45-foot high wireless communication facility along with related equipment and the construction four new parking stalls, staff concludes that there is no substantial evidence that the project will have a significant effect on the environment. The Planning Commission has reviewed the Planning Department's determination of exemption, and based on his independent judgment, concurs in the staffs determination of exemption. 5. Based upon the findings and the conclusions set forth in Paragraphs 1, 2, 3, and 4 above, the Planning Commission hereby approves the application, subject to each and every condition set forth below and in the Standard Conditions, attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference. • B,C,D - 18 PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 12-02 DRC2011-00688 —VERIZON WIRELESS January 11, 2012 Page 3 • Planning Department: 1) Approval is granted to construct a 45-foot tall monopine (top of branches at 50 feet) major wireless communication facility, backup generator, and related equipment on the site of the Sacred Heart Catholic Church located at 12676 Foothill Boulevard. 2) The equipment for the wireless communication facility shall be completely housed inside and screened by the two new open-walled equipment enclosures. 3) The equipment enclosures shall have a stucco finish and overhead trellis structures to match the existing trash enclosure. 4) The monopine shall have a life-like appearance,with the final design to be approved by the Planning Director. 5) The antennas, mounting brackets, and related equipment mounted to the facility shall be painted to match the monopine. 6) Provide a decorative raised bed planter a with seat wall around the concrete pad on which the monopine with be mounted, with the final design to be approved by the Planning Director. • 7) Print a copy of this Resolution of Approval on the plans when they are submitted for Plan Check. 8) The facility shall be maintained at all times, including making necessary repairs as needed, and keeping the site free from trash and debris.

A. Recitals. 1. Verizon Wireless filed an application for Variance DRC2011-01060,as described in the title of this Resolution. Hereinafter in this Resolution, the subject Variance request is referred to as "the application." 2. On January 11, 2012,the Planning Commission of the City of Rancho Cucamonga conducted a duly noticed public hearing on the application and concluded said hearing on that date. 3. All legal prerequisites prior to the adoption of this Resolution have occurred. B. Resolution. • NOW,THEREFORE, it is herebyfound,determined,and resolved by the Planning Commission of the City of Rancho Cucamonga as follows: 1. The Planning Commission hereby specifically finds that all of the facts set forth in the Recitals, Part A, of this Resolution are true and correct. 2. Based upon the substantial evidence presented to the Planning Commission during the above-referenced public hearing on January 11, 2012, including written and oral staff reports, together with public testimony, the Planning Commission hereby specifically finds as follows: a. The 11.31-acre site is developed with a Catholic church, school, and related buildings; and b. The subject property is within the Regional Related Commercial Development District of the Foothill Boulevard Districts (Subarea 4)and the Medium Residential District of the Etiwanda Specific Plan (south overlay); and C. The properties to the north are developed with the 1-15 Freeway and a multi-family residential development, which is within the Medium (M) Development District of the Etiwanda Specific Plan (south overlay);the properties to the south are developed with a commercial development, which is within the Regional Related Commercial Development District of the Foothill Boulevard Districts — Subarea 4; the properties to the east are developed with a multi-family development and a commercial development, which are within the Medium (M) Residential District of the Etiwanda Specific Plan (south overlay)and the Regional Related Commercial Development District of the Foothill Boulevard Districts— Subarea 4, respectively; and, the properties to the west are developed with the 1-15 Freeway and a commercial development, which is within the Regional Related Commercial Development District of the • Foothill Boulevard Districts—Subarea 4. B,C,D - 24 PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 12-03 DRC2011-01060—VERIZON WIRELESS January 11, 2012 Page 2 d. The applicant proposes constructing a majorwireless communication facility on the site • of the Sacred Heart Catholic Church located at 12676 Foothill Boulevard. The facility will be in the form of a 45-foot high monopine (top of branches at 50 feet). e. Section 17.26.030.A.5 states that major wireless communication facilities may not be within 300 feet of a residential development district unless collocated with a second wireless communication facility. A portion of the church parking lot is zoned Medium (M) Residential. The applicant has been unable to find a second carrier to collocate with them on the facility. The facility, though, has the potential to be collocated in the future. To overcome the 300-foot residential district separation requirement, the applicant submitted a Variance request. 3. Based upon the substantial evidence presented to this Commission during the above-referenced public hearing and upon the specific findings of facts set forth in Paragraphs 1 and 2 above, this Commission hereby finds and concludes as follows: a. That strict or literal interpretation and enforcement of the specified regulations would result in practical difficulty or unnecessary physical hardship inconsistent with the objectives of the Development Code. The intent of the 300-foot residential separation requirement is to limit the number of wireless communication facilities adjacent to residential developments. While a portion of the site is zoned for residential development, it is currently being used to meet the parking requirements for the church on the site. The site, therefore, meets the intent of limiting the number of wireless facilities adjacent to residential developments. For this reason, the literal interpretation of the separation requirement would require the applicant to locate the facility in a less optimal location,which would place an unnecessary physical hardship on the applicant. b. That there are exceptional or extraordinary circumstances or conditions applicable to the • property involved or to the intended use of the property that do not apply generally to other properties in the same district. The site is divided into two development districts the Regional Related Commercial Development District and Medium Residential. The residential portion of the site is being used as a parking lot for the church and the school on the site. Therefore, the residentially designated portion of the site is being used for non-residential purposes,creating an extraordinary circumstance that does not apply to other properties in the Regional Related Commercial or Medium Residential Districts. c. That strict or literal interpretation and enforcement of the specified regulation would deprive the applicant of privileges enjoyed by the owners of other properties in the same district. In that, without a reduction in the 300-foot residential separation requirement, the applicant would be unable to develop a major wireless facility on the site which is a permitted use in the Regional Related Commercial Development District. d. That the granting of the Variance will not constitute a grant of special privilege inconsistent with the limitations on other properties classified in the same district. The intent of the 300-foot residential separation requirement is to limit the number of wireless communication facilities adjacent to residential developments. The facility will not be within 300 feet of any existing or planned residential developments. Additionally, the facility has been designed to facilitate an additional carrier when one becomes available. e. That the granting of the Variance will not be detrimental to the public health, safety or welfare, or materially injurious to properties or improvements in the vicinity. The site is not within 300 feet of existing or planned residential dwelling units and will be designed to blend in with the existing on-site trees. Additionally, the Federal Telecommunication Act dictates that municipalities may not regulate wireless facilities based upon health concerns. • 4. The Planning Department staff has determined that the project is categorically exempt from the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and the City's CEQA Guidelines. B,C,D - 25 PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 12-03 DRC2011-01060 —VERIZON WIRELESS January 11, 2012 Page 3 • The project qualifies as a Class 3 exemption under State CEQA Guidelines Section 15303,which covers the installation of new equipment and facilities in small structures. Because the project only involves installing a 45-foot high wireless communication facility along with related equipment and the construction four new parking stalls, staff concludes that there is no substantial evidence that the project will have a significant effect on the environment. The Planning Commission has reviewed the Planning Department's determination of exemption,and based on his independent judgment,concurs in the staffs determination of exemption. 5. Based upon the findings and the conclusions set forth in Paragraphs 1,2, 3,and 4 above,the Planning Commission hereby approves the application, subject to each and every condition set forth below and in the Standard Conditions, attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference. Planning Department: 1) Approval is granted to reduce the 300-foot residential separation requirement in order to construct a 45-foot tall monopine(top of branches at 50 feet) major wireless communication facility on the site of the Sacred Heart Catholic Church located at 12676 Foothill Boulevard. 2) Approval is contingent on the approval of related file Conditional Use Permit DRC2011-00688. 3) Print a copy of this Resolution of Approval on the plans when they are submitted for Plan Check. • 4) The applicant shall obtain all the necessary permits from the Building and Safety Department. 5) Signs or advertising are not permitted on the wireless communication facility. 6) Approval of this request shall not waive compliance with any sections of the Development Code, State Fire Marshal's regulations, Conditions, Health Departments, Uniform Building Code,or any other City Ordinances. 6.

General Plan Designations: Site - Mixed Use North - Mixed Use South - General Commercial East - Mixed Use West - Mixed Use C. Site Characteristics: The project site consists of three parcels located on the northeast corner of Foothill Boulevard and Klusman Avenue. The .project area is approximately 1.08 acre in size and is currently developed with a single-family residence and related features. The residence is proposed to be demolished to facilitate redevelopment of the property with an approximately 11,588-square foot commercial center consisting of three buildings and related parking. To the north are legal non-conforming single-family residences in the Bungalow style that were built around the 1920s. This portion of "Old Cucamonga" was identified in the General Plan as a potential "Neighborhood Character Area." The property to the east is the Cucamonga Service Station, a designated historic landmark built in 1913. The front gas station canopy is the only remaining structure on that property. The back building collapsed • on December 26, 2010, when a heavy rainstorm caused the roof trusses to further deteriorate and collapse. The property to the south and west are existing commercial developments. ANALYSIS: A. Background: On October 28, 2009, a Planning Commission Workshop was conducted to review the initial proposal of a single, rectangular building of approximately 14,860 square feet with roof-top parking. At this meeting, the Commissioners were not in favor of the roof-top parking and the impact to the adjacent neighborhood and historic gas station. The Commissioners guided the applicant to redesign the project to provide ground level parking, design the project to be consistent with the Foothill Boulevard Specific Plan Design Guidelines, and to design the building to reduce the impact to the Neighborhood Character Area and gas station. B. General: The applicant has re-designed the project, and the proposal now involves the construction of three separate commercial buildings totaling 11,588 square feet in size and a related parking lot with 55 spaces (Exhibit E). The site will be separated by walkways and seating areas and parking is located behind (north of) the buildings. The architectural style of the buildings is Neoeclectic with a Spanish influence and incorporates features such as arched openings, towers, and red roof tiles. The architecture of the commercial center was designed to include features that mimic the Cucamonga Service Station, adjacent to the east. A reciprocal access agreement with the Cucamonga Service Station property is also proposed to allow access to both properties in the future, at the time when the gas station property is occupied. To facilitate the ,proposed development, the existing house, garage and shed currently located on the subject property will be demolished. • E, F,G,&H 2 PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT DRC2008-00356, DRC2010-00941, DRC2010-00943, AND DRC2010-00944- GIRON ENGINEERS • January 11, 2012 Page 3 The northeast corner of Foothill Boulevard and Klusman Avenue is intended to be the main entryway, and will be decorated with a Route 66 monument sign along with an 18-inch concrete seating area around the monument consistent with the Foothill Boulevard Visual Improvement Plan (VIP). Additionally, new landscaping along Foothill Boulevard will be installed consistent with the VIP. Crape myrtle trees and double row pavers will be installed in the right-of-way. Furthermore, per the VIP, the existing median island, colored pavement emblazoned with the Route 66 logo, special sidewalk treatments, artwork, and a historic post and a cable roadway safety barrier will be installed as part of this project. C. Floor/Area Analysis: Per Chapter 2, Figure LU-6, the maximum floor area ratio (FAR) in the Commercial land use category is 30 to 33 percent. The net area of the project site is approximately 47,045 square feet. The building coverage will be 11,588 square feet. Therefore, the floor area ratio for this site will be 25 percent. D. Parking Calculations: The parking calculation for the commercial center is the sum of parking requirements for the individual uses per Section 17.12.040(B)(1)(a) of the Development Code. Using the calculation for general retail stores, if is 1 parking stall per 250 square feet of gross • floor area. There are 55 parking stalls within the shopping center, including 4 handicap parking stalls. Type Floor Area Parking # of Spaces # of Spaces of Use (SF) Ratio Required Provided Commercial Center 11,588 1/250 46 55 E. Design Review Committee: The project was initially reviewed by the Design Review Committee (DRC) (Munoz, Wimberly, and Granger) on August 16, 2011 (Exhibit L). The Committee reviewed the application and deemed the Development Review and Variance applications acceptable but directed the applicant to complete the Uniform Sign Program and bring it back to the Committee prior to scheduling the Development Review application for Planning Commission. The applicant completed the Uniform Sign Program and brought it back to the December 6, 2011, DRC meeting. The Committee concluded that the signs were compatible and recommended approval for the remaining portions of the project to be forwarded to the Planning Commission for review and action. F. Grading and Technical Review Committees: The project was reviewed by the Grading and Technical Review Committees on August 16, 2011. Both Committees deemed it acceptable for forwarding to the Planning Commission for review and action. Staff has included in the Resolution of Approval each committee's standard and special conditions. G. Neighborhood Meeting: On August 10, 2011, the applicant conducted a neighborhood meeting at the Lions Community Center East, located at 9161 Base Line Road. There were • eight (8) of the invited neighbors in attendance. Their questions generally were centered on the proposal, anticipated traffic conditions, future tenants of the building, and parking. All E,F,G,&H 3 PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT DRC2008-00356, DRC2010-00941, DRC2010-00943, AND DRC2010-00944-GIRON ENGINEERS January 11, 2012 • Page 4 questions were satisfactorily addressed by the applicant. The individuals in attendance indicated no objections to the proposal. Giron Engineers ,received a phone call from a neighbor on August 10, 2011, who requested information about the project. The name and address was not taken because the neighbor indicated that she would be sending a letter regarding her concerns. To date, we have not received a letter. H. Land Use Compatibility: The project will be consistent with the development district of the site and the surrounding development districts. There are legal non-conforming single-family residences to the north of the project site. However, staff does not expect any negative impacts because there are thresholds for noise and lighting specified in the Development Code that a commercial activity cannot exceed. If necessary, the matter may be brought to the attention of the Planning Director and/or Planning Commission for further review and action. I. Variance DRC2010-00941: Because of the narrow shape and size of the lot, it is difficult to meet the parking standards for this development, even by scaling the buildings down in size. Not only by providing the required number of parking spaces, but to also incorporate a two-way traffic lane for circulation made it difficult to achieve without some type of exception. Therefore, a Variance application was submitted to request a reduction in the front street yard setback by 6.27 feet, within the 25-foot setback as required along Foothill Boulevard. The project site exhibits a shape having nearly a 4 to 1 length to width ratio, making it difficult to effectively utilize the site in a manner which promotes safety (on-site circulation) and efficient • building layout. Additionally, the lot shape makes it difficult to design an onsite parking area with two-way circulation. Staff and the Design Review Committee support the Variance request because of exceptional or extraordinary circumstances or conditions applicable to the property that do not apply generally to other properties in the same zone. J. Uniform Sion Program DRC2010-00944: The Uniform Sign Program for the project will consist of wall signs on the buildings and one Route 66 monument sign. The wall signs will all be channel letters, with non-illuminated signs on the north elevation where there are adjacent residents, and illuminated signs towards Foothill Boulevard. A Route 66 monument sign will be anchored at the corner of Foothill Boulevard and Klusman Avenue. The owner has chosen not to incorporate any business identification monument signs at this time. The Sign Program complies with the current Sign Ordinance and staff feels that the Sign Program is compatible with the building. The Committee recommended approval of the Uniform Sign Program at the December 6, 2011, DRC meeting. The Uniform Sign Program was advertized within the project, but because the Sign Program is within the purview of the Planning Director, the program application was pulled from the agenda and will be approved by the Director at a later date. K. Tree Removal Permit DRC2010-00943: The proposed project includes the removal of thirteen (13) trees within the area of work (Exhibit K). These trees are dispersed throughout the project site and vary in size. According to the arborist report submitted by California Arbor Care, the trees are in poor to good health. The report indicates that relocation is very costly and the 10-year survival rate is less than 50 percent. Consistent with the City's Tree Preservation Ordinance, incorporated in the Resolution of Approval is a condition requiring • new trees to be planted on a one-to-one basis to replace the trees that have been removed. E,F,G,&H 4 PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT DRC2008-00356, DRC2010-00941, DRC2010-00943, AND DRC2010-00944 - GIRON ENGINEERS • January 11, 2012 Page 5 L. Cultural Resources Report: A cultural resources report was requested to determine whether the proposed project would cause substantial adverse changes to any historical resources that may exist in or around the project area, as mandated by the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). Of particular concern was the residence at 9612 Foothill Boulevard (State Primary No. 36-021512), which is within the project area and was evaluated as eligible for local designation in 2009; and the Cucamonga Service Station at 9670 Foothill Boulevard (State Primary No. 36-016460), adjacent to the east portion of the project area, which was designated a Local Landmark in 2009. The report also analyzed the potential project impacts to the Cucamonga Neighborhood Character Area (NCA), which was identified in the City's 2010 General Plan, and includes the subject property. The Cucamonga NCA is not a historical resource under CEQA but is identified in the City's 2010 General Plan as an area that deserves special consideration because of its historic character and association with the early development of the Cucamonga town site. According to the report: The residence at 9612 Foothill Boulevard was re-evaluated and determined not eligible for local designation. Although it contributes to the historic character of the Cucamonga NCA and may be a rare example of a relatively intact post-World War 11 (1946) residence within the Cucamonga NCA, it is an exceptionally common type and style in the larger area. In addition, its setting has been extensively • altered, it does not appear to be associated with anyone important in history, and it was constructed more than a decade later than most of the other historic-period residences that characterize the NCA. For these reasons, it does not appear to meet any of the City's criteria for designation as a local landmark and is not a historical resource under CEQA. Therefore, potential project impacts to this resource do not need to be considered further. The proposed project will not materially impair the historic significance of the Cucamonga Service Station at 9670 Foothill Boulevard. The proposed project will not physically change the Cucamonga Service Station, obscure it from view of the driving public, or materially impair its significance by adversely changing any of the physical characteristics that help convey its historical significance. Therefore, the proposed project will not result in any substantial adverse changes to this historical resource. Finally, the proposed project, which involves the demolition of a modest, post-World War II residence and the construction of a modern commercial center, will further degrade the historic integrity of the Cucamonga NCA. However, since the Cucamonga NCA is not a historical resource under CEQA, no mitigation is required. M. Existing Overhead Utilities: The property owner is requesting to pay an in-lieu fee for the • future undergrounding of the existing overhead utilities located at the north property line, E, F,G,&H 5 PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT DRC2008-00356, DRC2010-00941, DRC2010-00943, AND DRC2010-00944-GIRON ENGINEERS January 11, 2012 • Page 6 instead of the City's requirement to underground. If the property owner undergrounds the utilities, they are entitled for reimbursement of one-half the actual cost upon development of the north parcels in the future. It is unknown at this time how extensive the usage of these utilities from the adjacent properties will be. Engineering staff is requesting that the Planning Commissioners review this request and make a determination if paying the in-lieu fee is appropriate at the time of the Planning Commission meeting. This matter was also brought up at the August 16, 2011, DRC meeting, and the DRC supported the property owner's request to pay the in-lieu fee for future undergrounding of the existing overhead utilities. Since there are so many adjacent residents that would be affected, the DRC agreed that at this time the in-lieu fee may be the best approach with the least disruption. N. Environmental Assessment: The Planning Department staff has determined that the project is categorically exempt from the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and the City's CEQA Guidelines. The project qualifies as a Class 32 exemption under State CEQA Guidelines Section 15332 - In-Fill Development Projects - as the proposal includes in-fill development consistent with the applicable General Plan designation and regulations. There is no substantial evidence that the project may have a significant effect on the environment. CORRESPONDENCE: This item was advertised as a public hearing in the Inland Valley Dailv Bulletin newspaper, the property was posted, and notices were mailed to all property owners within a 660-foot radius of the project site. No comments have been received. • RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the Planning Commission approve Development Review DRC2008-00356, Variance DRC2010-00941, and Tree Removal Permit DRC2010-00943 through adoption of the attached Resolutions of Approval with conditions.

APN: 0208-153-12, 0208-153-13, 0208-153-24. This project is categorically exempt per Section 15332 (In-Fill Development Projects) of the California Environmental Quality Act and the City CEQA Guidelines. It is a Class 32 categorical exemption because the project includes in-fill development consistent with the applicable General Plan designation and regulations. Related files: Preliminary Review DRC2007-00476, Tree Removal Permit DRC2010-00943, Uniform Sign Program DRC2010-00944, Variance DRC2010-00941. Design Parameters: The project site is located on the northeast corner of Foothill Boulevard and Klusman Avenue on a rectangular-shaped parcel of approximately 1.08 acre. The site is zoned Specialty Commercial (SC) within the Foothill Boulevard Districts, Subarea 3. The properties to the north are developed with older single-family residences that date back to the 1920's. This portion of "Old Cucamonga" was identified in the General Plan as a potential "Neighborhood Character Area." The property to the east is the historic Cucamonga Service Station, which was built in 1913. The property to the south and west are commercial developments. AnaLBackground: On October 28, 2009, a Planning Commission Workshop was conducted to review the roposal of a 14,860 square foot commercial center with roof-top parking. At this meeting, the Commissioners were not favorable to the roof-top parking and guided the applicant to redesign the project to provide ground level parking. The Commissioners also asked the applicant to provide the following: • A Master Plan of the parcels east of the project site depicting the bus stop location. • Design the project to be consistent with the Foothill Boulevard Specific Plan Design Guidelines. • Trash enclosure to be relocated away from the adjacent residential development and incorporated into the building. • The tower feature at the corner of Foothill Boulevard and Klusman Avenue to be reduced to pedestrian scale. • Incorporate and be considerate of the adjacent locally designated landmark — Cucamonga Service Station. Mitigation measures required by the Cultural Assessment must be incorporated into the project. Proposal: The applicant has re-designed the project and is now proposing a retail commercial center consisting of 3 buildings totaling 11,588 square feet. The buildings are located towards Foothill Boulevard and parking is located behind them. The tower feature was completely redesigned and reduced to a more pedestrian scale. There are two access points into the development that can be accessed from Foothill Boulevard or Klusman Avenue. Staff Comments: The following comments are intended to provide an outline for the Committee iscussion regarding this project. EXHIBIT L E, F,G,&H 22 DRC ACTION AGENDA DRC2008-00356— GIRON ENGINEERS INC. • August 16, 2011 Page 2 Maior Issues: 1. None. Minor Issues: 1. The applicant has worked hard with staff to address the outstanding issues. The trash enclosure was relocated near the buildings and away from the residential units during the fourth submittal. It created an awkward location only because it was in front of and near the storefronts. Alternatives were investigated for the most suitable location; therefore, staff conducted a meeting with the applicant. The applicant was told by staff that the trash enclosure located in the niche to the north side of the property should be appropriate if it is screened well and is far away enough from the residential units. The concurrence of the Committee is requested. 2. The applicant has submitted a Uniform Sign Program (DRC2010-00944) but it is not complete. The applicant shall address the comments noted in the "Completeness Letter," and come back before the Design Review Committee with a complete and revised Uniform Sign Program. The sign program shall be reviewed and approved before building permits are issued for the project. Policy Issues: • 1. Because of the narrow shape and size of the lot, it was difficult to provide the required parking for this development, even with scaling the buildings down in size. Therefore, a Variance application was submitted to request a reduction in the street yard setback by 6.27 feet, within the 25-foot setback as required along Foothill Boulevard. The applicant has demonstrated why the Variance is necessary. 2. The Developer is requesting to pay an in-lieu fee for the future undergrounding of the existing overhead utilities located at the north property line, instead of the City's requirement to underground. If the developer undergrounds the utilities, he is entitled for reimbursement of one-half the actual cost upon development of the north parcels in the future. It is unknown at this time how extensive the usage of these utilities from the adjacent properties will be. Engineering staff is requesting that the Planning Commissioners review this request and make a determination if paying the in-lieu fee is appropriate at the time of the Planning Commission meeting. Staff recommendation: Staff recommends that the Design Review Committee recommend approval of this Development Review and Variance to the Planning Commission. Design Review Committee Action: 1. The Design Review Committee commented that the conceptual plan for the adjacent Cucamonga Service Station as a bus shelter is not appropriate. The islands will be too close to the curb. The Committee hopes that it will not delay this particular project but would like to see alternatives for the • gas station in the future. E,F,G,&H 23 DRC ACTION AGENDA .DRC2008-00356— GIRON ENGINEERS INC. August 16, 2011 Page 3 2. The trash enclosure will stay where it is in the north niche of the property. Staff demonstrated that it is approximately 35 to 40 feet away from the residential units. 3. The Committee directed the applicant to complete the Uniform Sign Program and bring it back to the Committee prior to scheduling the Development Review application for Planning Commission. 4.

A. Recitals. 1. Giron Engineers, Inc., on behalf of the property owner, filed an application for the issuance of Variance DRC2010-00941 as described in the title of this Resolution. Hereinafter in this Resolution, the subject Variance request is referred to as "the application." 2. On the 11th day of January 2012, the Planning Commission of the City of Rancho Cucamonga conducted a duly noticed public hearing on the application and concluded said hearing on that date. 3. All legal prerequisites prior to the adoption of this Resolution have occurred. B. Resolution. NOW, THEREFORE, if is hereby found, determined, and resolved by the Planning • Commission of the City of Rancho Cucamonga as follows: 1. This Commission hereby specifically finds that all of the facts set forth in the Recitals, Part A, of this Resolution are true and correct. 2. Based upon the substantial evidence presented to this Commission during the above- referenced public hearing on the 11th day of January 2012, including written and oral staff reports, together with public testimony, this Commission hereby specifically finds as follows: a. The application is related to Development Review DRC2008-00356; and b. The application applies to property for a proposed commercial center located at the northeast comer of Foothill Boulevard and Klusman Avenue; and C. The commercial centerwill consistof 3(three)buildings totaling 11,588 square feet on 1.08 acre of land; and d. The property to the north of the subject site are single-family residences, the property to the west and south consists of existing commercial development,the property to the east is a designated Historic Landmark known as the Cucamonga Service Station; and e. The zoning of the center is Specialty Commercial (SC) District of the Foothill Boulevard Specific Plan. The zoning of the properties to the north, south and east is the Specialty Commercial (SC)of the Foothill Boulevard Specific Plan. The zoning of the property to the west is Community Commercial (CC) District of the Foothill Boulevard Specific Plan; and • f. The applicant is requesting a Variance to allow a reduced street yard setback along Foothill Boulevard by 6.27 feet; and E, F,G,&H 53 PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 12-06 VARIANCE DRC2010-00941 January 11, 2012 Page 2 • g. Per table 17.32.080(9)(c)of the Development Code,the required building setback on Foothill Boulevard is 25 feet; and h. All street frontage setbacks are measured from curbface; and i. The applicant's proposed commercial building will have a building setback of 18.73 feet along Foothill Boulevard. 3. Based upon the substantial evidence presented to this Commission during the above-referenced public hearing and upon the specific findings of facts set forth in Paragraphs 1 and 2 above, this Commission hereby finds and concludes as follows: a. That strict or literal interpretation and enforcement of the specified regulations would result in practical difficulty or unnecessary physical hardship inconsistent with the objectives of the Development Code. In that, without a reduction in street yard setback along Foothill Boulevard, the site would not be able to accommodate parking for the proposed buildings. b. That there are exceptional or extraordinary circumstances or conditions applicable to the property involved or to the intended use of the property that do not apply generally to other properties in the same district. In that, the long rectangular shape of the lot(4:1 length to width ratio) makes it difficult to design an onsite parking area with two-way circulation. C. That strict or literal interpretation and enforcement of the specified regulation would • deprive the applicant of privileges enjoyed by the owners of other properties in the same district. The entire block in which this property is located is zoned Specialty Commercial and is currently developed with older, residential structures, an historic gas station and various small commercial shops. The proposed project will comply with all applicable City codes and ordinances,allow traffic access from the adjacent easterly property thus promoting safe traffic circulation. d. That the granting of the Variance will not constitute a grant of special privilege inconsistent with the limitations on other properties classified in the same district. In that; the proposed reduction in setback will allow the applicant to develop the property no greater than the other lots in the surrounding area. e. That the granting of the Variance will not be detrimental to the public health, safety, or welfare or materially injurious to properties or improvements in the vicinity. In that, the granting of the reduced setback will allow a safer, on-site traffic circulation plan to be developed. Additionally all required parking will be provided on-site. The project will dedicate a right-of-way, removing old dilapidated street improvements and reconstruct new pavement, curbs, gutters, and parkways in compliance with the Foothill Boulevard Specific Plan. 4. The Planning Department Staff has determined that the project is categorically exempt from the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and the City's CEQA Guidelines. The project qualifies under the Class 5 categorical exemption under State CEQA Guidelines Section 15305 (Minor alterations in land use limitations)because the project includes a setback variance not resulting in the creation of any new parcel. In addition, there is no substantial evidence that the project may have a significant effect on the environment. The Planning Commission has reviewed the Planning Department's determination of exemption,and based on its • own independent judgment, concurs in the staffs determination of exemption.

Related Files: LA/Ontario International Airport Land Use Compatibility Plan DRC2010-00157 and Development Code Amendment DRC2010-00984. CONSIDERATION TO INITIATE DEVELOPMENT CODE AMENDMENT DRC2010-00984 - CITY OF RANCHO CUCAMONGA - A request to amend Section 17.30.040-D-5 (Building Height) and Section 17.030.060-J-14 (Architecture and Design) to add language requiring compliance with the building height limits in the LA/Ontario International Airport Land Use Compatibility Plan. Related Files: LA/Ontario International Airport Land Use Compatibility Plan DRC2010-00157 and Industrial Area Specific Plan Subarea 18 Text Amendment DRC2010-00685. • BACKGROUND: Commercial aviation plays a significant role in the Inland Empire on many different levels such as transportation (personal and business), economic synergy with other businesses (hospitality, car rentals and restaurants), travel opportunities, and parcel service. Communities in close proximity to airports benefit economically but also face airport impacts. Less than 2 miles south of the City's limits is the LA/Ontario International Airport (ONT), which began operations during the agricultural days of the Inland Empire, accelerated after World War Il, and has provided commercial aviation service for over six decades. Although air traffic for ONT has diminished during the recent economic downturn, in 2002 Los Angeles World Airports (LAWA) initiated a master planning effort for ONT. The Master Plan includes reconfiguring the existing runway system, shifting both runways south and east of their present positions. This reconfiguration is necessary to permit the runway system to accommodate the volume of aircraft operations associated with the aviation forecasts for passenger and air cargo loads for 2030. Since ONT is located in the geographic center of the City of Ontario, the City of Ontario is presently the only affected municipality by operations at ONT; however, with the Master Plan proposal of reconfiguring the runways to meet 2030 projections, neighboring municipalities and agencies that were previously outside the affected area of ONT would now be affected by aircraft operations. The impacted agencies affected by future operations at ONT include the following six municipalities: Chino, Fontana, Montclair, Ontario, Rancho Cucamonga, and Upland. The counties affected include Riverside and San Bernardino. LAND USE ANALYSIS: The California State Aeronautics Act (Public Utilities Code Section 21670 et. seq.) requires that an Airport Land Use Compatibility Plan (ALUCP) be prepared for nearly all • public-use airports in the State. These plans are created "to protect the public health, safety, and Items I & J PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT DRC2010-00685 AND DRC2010-00984— CITY OF RANCHO CUCAMONGA January 11, 2012 Page 2 • welfare by ensuring orderly expansion of airports and the adoption of land use measures that minimize the public's exposure to excessive noise and safety hazards within areas around public airports to the extent that these areas are not already devoted to incompatible uses." Cities and agencies that fall within the Airport Influence Area (AIA) are required by State Law to adopt the ALUCP. The City of Rancho Cucamonga is within the AiA of ONT and is subject to aircraft related impacts from ONT (airspace protection and over flight notification). State Law also requires land use plans and development proposals to be consistent with policies set forth in the Airport Land Use Compatibility Plans. In December of 2008, the City of Ontario initiated an update to the existing ALUCP for ONT. The City of Ontario desires a collective and collaborative approach to compatibility planning around ONT from all affected agencies. Over the past 2 years, The City of Ontario has invited neighboring jurisdictions which may be affected by operations at ONT to participate and contribute to the development of the updated LA/ONT ALUCP. One of the principal goals of the updated ALUCP is to determine how the City of Ontario and other affected jurisdictions can mutually work together to accomplish airport land use compatibility around ONT. Ultimately, the City of Ontario is responsible for preparing the ALUCP, the environmental assessment, and presenting the ALUCP to the City of Ontario City Council for adoption. The implementation of the ALUCP requires completion of several steps, which are summarized as follows: 1. Preparation and adoption of an ALUCP by the City of Ontario 2. Adoption of the ALUCP by each affected agency • 3. Amending General Plans and Specific Plans by each affected agency to be consistent with the ALUCP 4. California Division of Aeronautics Approval by the City of Ontario REQUEST TO INITIATE INDUSTRIAL AREA SPECIFIC PLAN SUBAREA 18 TEXT AMENDMENT AND DEVELOPMENT CODE AMENDMENT: As noted above, over the past 3 years, the City of Ontario has been collaborating with the 8 affected agencies on the LA/ONT ALUCP so that compatible land planning for future operations from ONT are addressed and future aircraft operations at ONT are not adversely impacted. On April 19, 2011, the City of Ontario adopted the 2011 ALUCP, thereby completing Step 1. Along with each member agency being required to adopt the ALUCP (Step 2), each jurisdiction within the Airport Influence Area will need to achieve vertical consistency with its land use policy documents. For the City of Rancho Cucamonga, this involves three documents: The General Plan, the IASP Subarea 18, and the Industrial Districts Section of the Development Code (Section 17.30). Planning staff was able to work with the City of Ontario Planning staff during 2009-2010 and incorporate discussion, policies, and implementation actions for the LA/ONT ALUCP into the 2010 General Plan; therefore, no modification to the General Plan is necessary. The proposed text amendments to the IASP Subarea 18 and Section 17.30 of the Development Code will provide these two documents with language ensuring compatibility with the LA/ONT ALUCP. Section 17.30 of the Development Code will ultimately be amended with the current Development Code Update. Specifically, both the IASP Subarea 18 and the Development Code will be amended to be consistent with the building height limitations within the Airport Influence Area of LA/ONT ALUCP. • The height limit will be 70 feet in the High Terrain Zone as identified in the ALUCP, unless an I&J - 2 1 ' PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT DRC2010-00685 AND DRC2010-00984— CITY OF RANCHO CUCAMONGA January 11, 2012 • Page 3 exception by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is granted. The 70-foot height limit is consistent with the height limitation of the Development Code. CONCLUSION: Initiating the proposed text amendments to the IASP Subarea 18 and the Development Code will permit staff to craft language and continue to collaborate with the City of Ontario Planning staff to ensure that these two documents provide consistent land use policies and regulations consistent with the LA/ONT ALUCP. Should the Planning Commission direct Planning Staff to initiate the text amendments, Staff will bring both text amendments back to the Planning Commission for review and consideration, along with the ALUCP for review and adoption. If the Planning Commission recommends approval, all three actions (IASP Subarea 18 Text Amendment, Development Code Text Amendment, and adoption of the LA/ONT ALUCP) will be brought to the City Council for final consideration and action. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the Planning Commission through minute action direct staff to initiate Industrial Area Specific Plan Subarea 18 text amendment DRC2010-00685 and Development Code text amendment DRC2010-00984.
