FOR VERIZON WIRELESS — A request to construct a 85-foot high co-locatable wireless communication facility in the form of a pine tree at Price Self Storage located on the east side of Haven Avenue and south of the 210 freeway within the Low (L) Zoning District (2- 4 dwelling units per acre) at 6599 Haven Avenue —APN: 1076-331-34. CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT DRC2014-00609 — SMARTLINK FOR AT&T — A request to construct a 85-foot high co-locatable wireless communication facility in the form of a pine tree at Price Self Storage located on the east side of Haven Avenue and south of the 210 freeway within the Low (L) Zoning District (2-4 dwelling units per acre) at 6599 Haven Avenue —APN: 1076-331-34. Background: The City has received applications from Verizon and AT&T for the development of two separate wireless communication facilities at Price Self-Storage, which is located on the east side of Haven Avenue and south of the 210 freeway - Conditional Use Permit DRC2014-00216 (Verizon) and Conditional Use Permit DRC2014-00609 (AT&T). Verizon proposes locating their facility at the northeast corner of the self-storage facility, with their equipment within one of the adjacent self-storage units. AT&T originally proposed placing their facility closer to the center of the self- storage facility, with the trunk of the facility rising out of a storage unit and the equipment located in an adjacent storage unit. Staff encouraged the applicants to work together on a single co-located facility. Staff also informed both carriers that AT&T's proposed location close to the center of the project site was preferred as it was further from the adjacent single family residences to the east and was less visible from public view. At this time, both Verizon and AT&T have jointly agreed to move forward with one wireless facility located at the northeast corner of project site (Verizon's proposed location). The applicants have informed staff that this location was chosen as AT&T was not prepared to construct their facility until an undetermined date in the future, while Verizon was prepared to construct their facility immediately. The originally proposed facility by both carriers had a height of 70 feet. The new co-located facility has a height of 85 feet; the extra height necessary to meet both carriers' coverage needs. Project Overview: The applicants propose constructing an 85-foot tall, co-located wireless communication facility at Price Self-Storage. The tower and support equipment will be located at the northeast corner of the site, approximately 55 feet from the east property line. The tower will be in the form of a pine tree with the ground mounted equipment for both carriers located within separate storage units adjacent to the tower. Verizon's antennas will be mounted 76 feet above ground level, with AT&T's antennas mounted 64 feet above ground level. The proposed equipment includes a backup generator for Verizon which will be located on the opposite side of the tower from the equipment enclosure. The project site is directly adjacent to a single-family Residential Zoning District. Section 17.106.030 of the Development Code requires that wireless communication facilities located within 300 feet of residential structures be co-locatable and be approved by a DRC AGENDA CUP DRC2014-00216 & CUP DRC2014-00609 SPECTRUM SERVICES, INC. FOR VERIZON WIRELESS & SMARTLINK FOR AT&T May 19, 2015 Page 2 Conditional Use Permit. Staff sent out a notice to all property owners located within 660 feet of the project site for Verizon's application on March 19, 2014, and on July 9, 2014, for AT&T's application, as required by the Development Code for Conditional Use Permits. Staff received two phone calls and two emails from property owners concerned about Verizon's project and two calls related to ATT's project. The residents felt that the Verizon facility would block their views of the surrounding landscape and that both facilities would potentially cause negative health impacts. It should be noted that the Federal Communication Commission (FCC) limits municipalities from denying wireless communication facilities based on health concerns. Staff requested that each applicant explore relocating their facilities to one of the commercial centers located at the northeast and northwest corners of Haven Avenue and the 210 freeway. The applicants informed staff, after researching both prospective sites, that there was not adequate lease area available for their equipment shelter at the site at the northwest corner of Haven Avenue and the 210 Freeway, as the site is already developed with a wireless communication facility. The property owners of the commercial center at the northeast corner of Haven Avenue and the 210 Freeway were not interested in placing a wireless facility within their development as they felt that it may hinder future development on the site. Neighborhood Meeting: Verizon held a neighborhood meeting to discuss their project with the surrounding property owners at 5:00 p.m. on January 21, 2015, at Central Park, with approximately 15 residents in attendance. Issues raised at the meeting included the height of facility, which was felt would block their views, and health impacts related to living adjacent to a wireless communication facility. The residents informed the applicant that the existing self-storage facility had created some adverse impacts, such as light and noise issues. The residents felt that it would be more appropriate to relocate the facility to one of the commercial centers on the north side of the 210 freeway. The applicant stated that the height of the facility was necessary to meet their coverage requirements and to provide adequate area for a second carrier to co-locate on the facility. Regarding the issue of perceived health impacts, there are no studies which show that living adjacent to a wireless communication facility causes negative health impacts. The (FCC) regulations restrict municipalities from denying a wire communication facility based on health concerns. Staff Comments: Staff has informed both applicants that the City does not support the proposed location at the northeast corner of the self-storage facility, as it is too close to the adjacent single-family residences to the east and is too visible from public view. Based upon the site, community input, the adjacent Residential District and the concurrent request from two wireless carriers, it is staffs conclusion that both carriers co-locate on a facility located nearer the center of the storage facility as originally proposed by AT&T (see Attachment A). This location will reduce the visual impact of the facility on the adjacent single-family residences and from the adjacent public streets, and provide a greater distance separation from the residences. DRC AGENDA CUP DRC2014-00216 & CUP DRC2014-00609 SPECTRUM SERVICES, INC. FOR VERIZON WIRELESS & SMARTLINK FOR AT&T May 19, 2015 Page 3 Maior Issues: 1. The Committee should provide input and direction on both proposals and which location is better suited to lessen the visual impact, blend with the built environment, be sensitive to the adjacent Residential District and provide one facility that will serve two carriers. Secondary Issues: None Staff Recommendation: Based upon the issues outlined the Staff Report, staff recommends that the Committee review the project layout and that the applicants be directed to redesign the project with a co-located facility closer to the center of the project site (AT & T location).

Staff has prepared a Mitigated Negative Declaration of the environmental impacts for consideration. ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESMENT AND CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT DRC2014-00932 — DON CLOUGHESY FOR THE RANCHO CUCAMONA FIRE PROTECTION DISTRICT (RCFPD) - A request to operate a Fire Training Center at an existing Rancho Cucamonga Fire Protection District (RCFPD) Station #174 within the Medium Impact Heavy Industrial (MINI) Development District, located at 11297 Jersey Boulevard — APN: 0229-111-34. Staff has prepared a Mitigated Negative Declaration of the environmental impacts for consideration. Background: The Rancho Cucamonga Fire District (RCFPD (applicant]) proposes the expansion of the existing RCFPD Station Number 174, which is located at the southwest corner of Jersey Boulevard and Milliken Avenue at 11297 Jersey Boulevard. Fire Station Number 174 was originally approved on September 27, 1989, (CUP 89-23) that included the fire station, maintenance facility, training center and training tower (36,328 square feet of structures). The approval was modified on December 11, 1991, (CUP Modification 89-23) for phase two of the project which included the design review of the maintenance building and training facility, training tower, and pump test enclosure. The approval was modified again on September 28, 1994, (CUP Modification 89-23) to add a heliport to the fire station. The project site is currently developed with a 17,034 square foot main fire station building, a 14,600 square foot maintenance/service building, a 2,349 square foot warehouse/covered carport, 40 parking stalls and a helipad. The facility also includes a flash over chamber and a two-story burn container structure, both of which are used for live fire demonstrations and training events. Project Overview: The proposed expansion of Fire Station Number 174 includes the construction of a 14,789 square foot, two-story fire training center, a 2,455 square foot parts/storage building, a 3,186 square foot fitness building, a 3,064 square foot training house and a 15,415 square foot multi-story training tower with an adjacent open lattice training structure, for a total of 38,909 square feet of new structures, The project also includes a complete reconfiguration of the parking lot for an overall parking count of 131 spaces. The proposed 70-foot tall live fire training tower will replace the existing two-story live fire training structure. In addition to the new structures, the existing flashover chamber building will be relocated on-site and will include a scrubber to capture and filter emissions created by the live burns. A decomposed granite running track will be located along the perimeter of the site. The new training facility will be used by the RCFPD, local utility agencies and surrounding community colleges with firefighter programs. The hours-of-operation of the new training facility will be from 7:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., with seven (7) full time staff members. The existing fire station currently has six (6) firefighters and five (5) maintenance staff on site during the largest shift (firefighters work 24 hour shifts). The training facility will also host fire personnel graduations along with an annual public open house, with approximately 4,000 visitors on-site for a four (4) hour period. A total of 131 on-site parking spaces are proposed. This includes 40 parking spaces available for public use, 56 staff parking spaces behind gates and 35 temporary parking spaces available for special events. Parking for the once yearly open house event will be provided on-site, along Jersey Boulevard and on the vacant lot across Jersey Boulevard from the fire station. DRC AGENDA DESIGN REVIEW DRC2014-00931 AND CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT DRC2014-00932 - DON CLOUGHESY FOR THE RANCHO CUCAMONGA FIRE PROTECTION DISTRICT May 19, 2015 Page 2 The new two-story fire training building will be located between the existing fire station and maintenance/service building and will include an outdoor open plaza and roof top garden. The training building has a modern appearance that includes a two-story glass entrance. The exterior finishes consist of metal panels, sand blasted CMU color matched to the existing fire station and service building, troweled plaster, and a standing seam metal roof. The rooftop equipment will be screened by a corrugated metal enclosure. The fitness building and parts/warehouse building will be located to the south of the new training building and will be constructed color matched CMU block and bead blasted white CMU block. The fire training buildings include a 70-foot tall training tower designed to simulate a multi-story office building that includes an attached single-story building design to simulate an in-line commercial center. Adjacent to the training tower is a detached two-story building designed to simulate a single-family residence. The training buildings will be constructed of color matched CMU along with gray and white split face block. A 70-foot tall open lattice communication tower will be located next to the fire training tower and will also be used for fire training purposes. Metal shipping containers will be located on each floor of the training buildings to contain the live fires during the training exercises. The open flash over chamber building is constructed of metal siding with a metal roof. Staff Comments: The proposed project is well designed and is architecturally integrated with the existing on-site buildings. The main training building has a contemporary appearance that includes the use of sand-blasted CMU block that is color matched to the brick used on the existing fire station. The color matched CMU is carried over fire training buildings to provide a uniform appearance. The main pedestrian walkway from Jersey Boulevard leads past a proposed 9/11 Memorial to the main entrance to the training building and the open plaza beyond. The new public parking lot has been redesigned to include a second drive entrance to assist traffic flow through the project site. The project complies with all related Development Code criteria, including building setbacks (45 feet from Milliken Avenue, 35 feet from Jersey Boulevard, and 5 feet from the interior property lines), height limits (70 feet), landscape coverage (5 percent), and Floor Area Ratio (FAR). The project exceeds each of the minimum setbacks, provides 15 percent landscape coverage, and has a FAR of .27 percent, well below the maximum FAR of .50 percent. The site provides adequate on-site parking except for the once yearly public open-house events, which already take place at the existing facility. The training events and graduations may also exceed the proposed permanent parking spaces and will require use of the on-site temporary over-flow parking spaces. Staff feels that the use of temporary and off-site parking is justified by the limited number of special events and training events that will take place and the fact that these events already take place at the project site, which currently has a fewer number of on-site parking spaces. Major Issues: None. Secondary Issues: None. • Staff Recommendation: Staff recommends that the Committee review the project layout and architecture and, if they are accepting, forward the project to the Planning Commission for review.

Related Files: Design Review DRC2014-01139 and Tree Removal Permit DRC2014-01136. Design Parameters: Frito-Lay currently maintains a 430,643 square foot office, manufacturing, and warehouse facility at the northeast corner of Archibald Avenue and Fourth Street. This primarily concrete tilt-up building includes a 33,244 square foot office and 397,399 square feet of manufacturing and warehousing floor area. The applicant is proposing a 46,836 square foot warehouse addition on the west side of their existing warehouse building, adjacent to the employee parking area, and roughly parallel to their Archibald Avenue street frontage. The primary feature of the 46,836 square foot warehouse addition is a 32,590 square foot, 92 foot tall Automatic Storage Retrieval System (ASRS)warehouse. An adjacent 14,246 square foot low bay (with mezzanine) warehouse addition will provide 11 dock high doors for truck loading. The architectural design and construction of their existing facility is primarily concrete tilt up. The proposed ASRS building is designed to be constructed of textured panels, painted white and gray, and the low bay warehouse building addition is proposed as concrete tilt-up construction to match the existing facility. The proposed building addition is set back approximately 330 feet from Archibald Avenue and 450 feet from Fourth Street. Within the City's Industrial Districts, buildings are limited to a maximum height of 75 feet, and buildings over 75 feet are subject to review and approval of a Conditional Use Permit. The proposed ASRS building addition is 92 feet from finish grade. Due to the proximity of the proposed building addition to the Ontario International Airport, the City submitted for, and obtained, FAA approval of the proposed 100-foot high building addition. The FAA approval is very specific, requires the building to be marked/lighted in conformance with FAA advisory circulars, restricts construction equipment to the same height limit, and expires on February 22, 2016. Primary truck traffic will continue from their Fourth Street driveway, located near the southeast corner of the project site. The existing visitor and employee parking located south of the office and west of the ASRS building will remain; additional employee parking is proposed south of their existing parking lot. Parking proposed for the facility substantially exceeds parking requirements. A total of 295 parking spaces are required, and 345 parking spaces will be provided. A total of 54 truck/trailer parking spaces are required at a ratio of 1 parking space for each loading dock door; a total of 43 tractor and 224 trailer parking spaces will be provided on site. All tractor and trailer parking spaces are screened by the existing Archibald Avenue and Fourth Street 10-foot high screen walls. The applicant has provided several perspectives of the proposed building from Fourth Street, Archibald Avenue, and surrounding properties to demonstrate the appearance of the proposed building. These perspectives show current images from Google Maps Street View with comparable renderings of the project. Staff Comments: Major Issues: The following design issues will be the focus of Committee discussion regarding this project: 1. The project design initially proposed metal siding for the ASRS building addition. The applicant has addressed staff's concerns regarding the metal siding and has proposed using textured panels instead. These textured panels are shown in a horizontal and vertical orientation, which when painted their respective white and gray colors will provide for visual interest. 2. The low bay warehouse building is designed as a concrete tilt-up, painted gray with white accents to match the existing warehouse building; and no variation in building material (concrete, sandblasted concrete, textured block, brick, etc.) are proposed. Secondary Issues: Once all of the major issues have been addressed, and time permitting, the Committee will discuss the following secondary design issues: 1. All of the existing perimeter screen walls and perimeter landscaping will remain. Several trees in close proximity to the proposed warehouse expansion and expanded parking area will be removed. Additional trees and shrubs will be provided at the expanded parking area. Additional trees should be planted in proximity to the ASRS and low bay warehouse expansion building. 2. Additional landscape islands, tree wells, etc, should be provided throughout the existing and proposed visitor and employee parking based on the following: a. 1 tree should be provided for each 3 parking spaces. At maturity, trees should reach a minimum height and spread of forty feet (40') so as to form a shade canopy over parking stalls. b. A minimum of 10 percent (10%) of the total off-street parking area (excluding the area for tractor and trailer parking), shall be landscaped with trees, shrubs, and appropriate ground cover. The parking area shall be computed by adding the areas use for access, drive aisles, stalls, maneuvering, and landscaping within that portion of the premises that is devoted to vehicular parking and circulation. c. Planters shall be separated from maneuvering and parking areas by a six inch (6"), raised concrete curb or equivalent. d. Tree planting wells located at the front of parking stalls shall contain a minimum of twenty-five (25) square feet and the smallest outside dimension shall not be less than five feet (5'). e. Landscape planters along the sides of parking stalls shall contain a minimum area of ninety (90) square feet and the smallest outside dimension shall not be less than six feet (6'). Policy Issues: The following items are a matter of Planning Commission policy and should be incorporated into the project design without discussion: 1. No policy issues have been identified. Staff Recommendation: With the Major and Secondary Issues addressed_to the satisfaction of the Committee, Staff recommends the Committee recommend approval of Design Review DRC2014-01139.
