C. COM~TJNICATIONS FROM THE PUBLIC
C1.
Elliott Hannah, 10300 Arrow Route, stated he spoke at the previous Council
meeting regarding identification being required when using a credit card
for a purchase. He added he recently received a letter from Duane Baker
who had contacted the California Department of Consumer Affairs for
information and advice. He felt Mr. Baker had received inaccurate and
incomplete information because the letter stated that after Mr. Baker
contacted the Department of Consumer Affairs he was told that matters such
as this should be handled through the District Attorney's office. He
stated the District Attorney's office informed him through a telephone
recording that they would not give legal advice. He felt according to the
language of the law that the City Attorney is empowered to handle matters
such as this, and asked for the City to do something to stop the
identification requirement.

Deputy City Planner. (1163-01PK & TRAF) (0304-00 RECREATION)
Mayor Stout asked what the standards were prior to 1988 before the Ordinance was
approved.
Otto Kroutil, Deputy City Planner, stated even prior to 1988 you could not store
recreational vehicles diagonally across the front yard or on the main part of the
front yard, that it would have had to be a paved surface or permanent material
that is easily maintained between the side property line and the driveway. He
(26)
City Council Minutes
June 19, 1991
Page 10
stated the problem with this Ordinance was that it relied on maintenance
criteria, and Code Enforcement received a lot of complaints by neighbors. He
stated most of the complaints were marginal and staff could not pursue a legal
case for that reason.
Councilmember Williams asked for clarification as to what exactly "front yard"
means.
Otto Kroutil, Deputy City Planner, stated in relation to single family homes,
front yard is the area between the front of the home and the public right-of-way
along the street. He stated the setback area fluctuates according to the size
of a person's lot.
Mayor Stout opened the meeting for public hearing. Addressing the City Council
were:
Roland Brown, 9212 San Bernardino Road, stated he bought his house wanting
to park his RV in the front yard because he could not get it in the back
yard. He felt he should still be able to park his RV in the front yard.
Willis Taylor, 13077 23rd Street, Etiwanda, asked if these regulations
applied to a dirt road.
Mayor Stout referred Mr. Taylor to Otto Kroutil, Deputy City Planner, to get his
question answered.
John Maxim, Jr., 8165 Cornwall, Etiwanda, stated he has lived in the City
for 35 years and felt he should be able to park his boat in his front
yard.
Jack Mallory, 9582 Church, stated he bought his house thinking he could
park his RV in front of his house. He stated he has made improvements,
i.e., cement work in the front yard, in order to accommodate his RV. He
pointed out that a survey was taken a year ago which proved that storage
facilities are full, and asked where could people park their RV.
Diane Garlick, 7968 Rosebud, stated she has lived in the City for 15
years. She felt people should be able to park their RV's in the front
yard. She stated she could not afford to pay a storage fee to store her
RV.
Mike Perez, 13245 Victoria, felt new development should be required to
have to provide RV storage with the City maintaining it. He felt an RV
should be allowed to be parked in the front yard if the majority of the
neighbors do not mind.
Bob Zoldack, 6840 Hellman, stated he would like to keep his RV in his
driveway because it is full of emergency supplies.
City Council Minutes
June 19, 1991
Page 11
Mr. Metzger, 10276 Ashford, asked if all self-maintained RV's were allowed
to be parked in the front yard.
Mayor Stout referred Mr. Metzger to Otto Kroutil, Deputy City Planner, to get his
question answered.
Elliott Hannah, 10300 Arrow Route, did not agree that residents could not
park their RV's in the front yard and that they might have to pay to store
them somewhere.
David Long, 13021 Vista, Etiwanda resident for 27 years, felt RV's should
be allowed to be parked in the front yard, and stated he has had an RV
parked in his front yard for 27 years.
Beverly Chodas, 9609 Almond, stated she attended the meetings with Ron
Ziebarth and also commented on the poor treatment the residents received
from staff and the Commissions at their meetings. She did not think she
should have to pay a fee to store her boat away from her house and felt
she should be able to park it in her front yard.
Lyle Cribbs, 10302 Carrari, felt this matter should be put to a vote of
the people.
Mike Doveseye, 6869 Rovoto, stated his area does not allow RV's in the
front yard per the CC&R's. He felt Rancho Cucamonga should check with
other cities on this matter. He felt the City Council should go with what
the majority of the people wanted. He did not think the City code should
be modified.
Joe Yancy, Ivy Street, stated he has lived in the community for many
years. He stated no one would tell him to move his RV from his front
yard.
Mike Via, 6885 Cabrina, Victoria area, felt the residents should be able
to keep their RV's in the front yard if their CC&R's allowed it.
Dave Fletcher, 9448 Orange, stated he did not think there should be a
blanket law for all trailers to be made secure from rolling. He also
felt a person should know who is complaining about them.
Ozzie Ketchner, 10015 Langston St., stated there are no homes in Rancho
Cucamonga that have alleys off of the backyard, and asked how people would
get their RV's behind the house. He felt there were too many other issues
more important than to worry about RV parking.
Ray Caswell, 7935 Gardenia, stated his principal vehicle is his RV and
that this stipulation should be included as part of the ordinance.
Ron Canfield, 9196 Malachite,.felt he should be able to have an RV in his
front yard. He did not think they were unsafe, unhealthy or ugly and felt
this matter should be put to a vote cf the people.
City Council Minutes
June 19, 1991
Page 12
John Dykes, 10968 Glenoaks since 1963, stated he did not think RV's should
be taken away from the residents.
Martin Walters, 6409 Klusman for 13 years, stated he did not think the
trailers or boats were an eyesore to his neighborhood. He stated after
taking a survey of his neighborhood, it proved his neighbors did not
object to RV's being parked in the front yard.
Jane Bradshaw, 6949 Valinda, felt this was a safety issue because RV's
parked in the front yard can obstruct children's vision when playing in
the front yard.
Mike Perez, 13245 Victoria, felt churches and nonprofit organizations
should be exempt.
Dave Long felt the majority of the community really did not care.
Bill Whit, 6875 Pecan, stated he felt people do care and should have the
right to have their RV in their front yard.
John Maxim, Jr., 8165 Cornwall, Etiwanda, stated again he did not think
his boat should be taken away from his front yard.
Ron Ziebarth, 9602 La Colina, stated he did not think the Public Safety
Commission and the Planning Commission should give their opinions about
the issue, but only deal with the facts. He did not think the sight line
should be 20 feet. He felt people who were here before all the
regulations were established on RV's should be allowed to have special
permits to park their RV's in the front yard. He presented various
photographs of RV vehicles parked in front yards. He asked that the
people be allowed to leave their RV's parked where they want to park them.
Dale Starbuck, 117 W. Alroot, Rialto, also of the Good Sam Organization,
talked about an RV ordinance in San Antonio, Texas, and the affects it had
on their retail business because of loss of revenue.
Mayor Stout called a recess at 9:00 p.m. The Council reconvened at 9:15 p.m.
with all Councilmembers present (Alexander absent).
Bill Yancy, did not agree with the safety issues brought up. He also
asked what would people do with their kids if they can't use their RV's in
order to keep them off drugs and off the streets.
Ozzie Ketchner, 10015 Langston, stated again he felt RV's should be
allowed to be parked in the front yard.
Mike Doveseye, Rovoto Court, felt after hearing all of the testimony, some
kind of a compromise should be made to include all of the suggestions
made.

Ron Canfield, did not think the safety factor as far as obstructing the
view would be a problem. He stated there have not been any accidents
because of safety issues.
There being no further response, the public hearing was closed.
Councilmember Wright stated the quality of life issue was brought up and stated
she agreed with that. She felt possibly that should be looked at in the
Ordinance and addressed on a safety/maintenance issue as far as if an RV was
stored in a location that was unsafe. She felt maintenance of an RV should be
looked at. She felt that the pictures shown by Mr. Ziebarth were acceptable, but
that it was those RV's that block a driveway or sidewalk that should be looked
at. She did not think that RV's should be parked out of sight necessarily.
Councilmember Williams stated she concurred with Councilmember Wright and felt
it should be individualized more. She stated the safety issue is still
important, and that she was not ready to do an all or nothing decision tonight.
Councilmember Buquet stated some people do not think the way their RV is parked
is wrong, but he felt there were cases that were. He felt this should be a joint
effort by everyone to resolve this matter. He felt possible size limitations
should be considered. He did not think this should go to a vote of the people,
and felt it would fail on the ballot if it did. He stated he felt more
information was needed.
Mayor Stout stated he felt there were safety issues involved as far as backing
out of a driveway with an RV parked in the driveway. He felt community values
were important and that values are changing. He felt it was important to find
out what the community wants. He stated he did not think an RV owner's neighbors
would be honest and tell their neighbor if they opposed the parking of an RV in
a driveway. He added he felt this should go to a vote of the people.
Councilmember Wright stated she felt this was an issue the City Council could
resolve, but felt a Subcommittee should be made to work on this issue and then
come back to the City Council for refining the Ordinance.
Mayor Stout stated he would like Councilmember Alexander's input.
Councilmember Wright stated she would like to serve on the Subcommittee.
Councilmember Williams asked that the residents submit their thoughts in writing
on this matter and direct them to the City Council.
ACTION: The Council concurred that Councilmembers Williams and Wright would
serve on the RV Subcommittee.
Councilmember Wright suggested that people representing both sides of the

F2. CONSIDERATION OF ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT AND INDUSTRIAL SPECIFIC PLAN
AMENDMENT 91-03 - CITY OF RANCHO CUCAMONGA - A request to amend the Industrial
Area Specific Plan to modify the Extensive Impact Commercial Use and to add the
Indoor Wholesale/Retail Commercial Use and its related development criteria
within the Specific Plan area. Staff recommends issuance of a Negative
Declaration. Staff report presented by Anna-Lisa Hernandez, Assistant Planner.
(0203-05 INDUS SP)
Mayor Stout asked if what goes on at General Dynamics' parking lot on weekends
would prohibit them from doing this because of this amendment.
Brad Buller, City Planner, stated General Dynamics has never had a permit for
this use. He stated this would prohibit the activities that go on there. He
stated if they want to continue with these specific activities, they would have
to go indoor or have what is called a special temporary use permit.
Mayor Stout opened the meeting for public hearing. Addressing the City Council
were:
Rance Clouse, 10370 Commerce Center Drive, stated he was .there on behalf
of an operator of this type of business, as well as a property owner in
town to lease property to this type of business. He continued to inform
the Council what was included in this plan amendment, and felt this was a
unique concept.
Councilmember Williams wanted tO make sure this would not be like the indoor swap
meet at Indian Hill.
Mr. Clouse stated provisions have been made to make sure that it is not by
the requirements that have been created, including the management
requirements.
Mayor Stout wanted to make sure that sales tax and business license fees are
controlled for this.
Councilmember Wright expressed concerns for health standards in regards to the
selling of food.
Mr. Clouse stated there would be'full compliance.
Councilmember Wright expressed concerns about the stacking of boxes.

Mr. Clouse stated that would be controlled through Building and Safety.
Councilmember Wright asked if there was one she could go see.
Mr. Clouse felt Montclair Plaza would be a similar situation.
Councilmember Wright asked if this could be stopped if it did not work.
Mr. Clouse stated it could not be stopped immediately, but that if they
did not comply with the Conditional Use Permit, the Council might impose
the revocation process.
The Council continued to ask various questions as to the construction of this.
Councilmember williams asked if there would be control for the types of goods
sold, and added this was a concern of hers.
Brad Buller, City Planner, stated there could be requirements to go along with
the Conditional Use Permit so that this would stay a family shopping place.
Mayor Stout felt the good intentions of the tenants should be put in black and
white.
Mr. Clouse felt this could be included in the management plan of the
Conditional Use Permit.
Councilmember Buquet felt there should be a "shopping list" of what is a
permitted use for the tenants.
Councilmember Wright asked for clarification as to the location of these types
of projects.
Brad Buller, City Planner, continued to point this out on an overhead map.
Councilmember Wright asked if it was a concern of the Planning Commission as to
the number of people that would patrol inside.
Brad Buller, City Planner, stated it was a concern of the Commission, and stated
staff would be recommending that there be a minimum of four maintenance
individuals during all operating hours, a minimum of four security personnel, as
well as twenty-four hour surveillance on other days of the week, and six
management (administrative staff) on the premises during operating hours, for a
total of fourteen people. He felt with this as part of the Conditional Use
Permit it would be self policing, so that the only time the City needed to get
involved was when there were complaints.
Councilmember Wright expressed her concerns about possible health and safety
matters if the City was not there to police the premises.
Brad Buller, City Planner, stated the Fire Department felt comfortable that by
having routine inspections they could control these types of problems.

Richard Martz, 8745 Luraline, commented on the General Dynamics parking
lot swap meet stating it is held the second Saturday each month for
approximately five hours through the General Dynamics HAM club, and stated
he would hate to see it go away. He added this has been going on for
approximately five years.
Mayor Stout agreed that he would hate to see General Dynamics have to stop.
Mike Perez, 13245 Victoria, stated he was concerned how this would affect
the City's schools. He felt there should be training classes involved to
mitigate the impact on the community colleges, i.e., operating cash
registers, serving food, etc. He felt cash registers should be required
of all vendors with spot audits made and paid for by the vendors. He felt
the vendors should be required to give a list of their products and be
approved. He suggested there be a log of police calls made.
There being no further response, the public hearing was closed.
Councilmember Buquet stated he liked Mr. Perez's comments on the security aspect.
Councilmember Wright stated she liked the comments relative to consumer
protection also.
Mayor Stout suggested that the first Conditional Use Permit have an automatic
review in six to twelve months to see if this type of use is working well, and
if it is not, a modification could be made to the permit.
Councilmember Wright stated some of the concerns expressed should be anticipated
and included in the Conditional Use Permit.
Councilmember Buquet stated he liked Mayor Stout's suggestion of the automatic
review.
Councilmember Wright stated she would like the consumer issues relative to cash
register monitoring and ability to audit also.
Brad Buller, City Planner, stated these concerns would be passed on in writing
to the Planning Commission before the first application for a Conditional Use
Permit comes before them.
Councilmember Buquet felt the enforceability issue should also be looked at.
Mayor Stout stated it was not his intention to prohibit the outdoor swap meet
situation such as that at General Dynamics. He felt this issue should be
addressed separately.
Brad Buller, City Planner, stated the Council could delete that portion of the
amendment that prohibits outdoor swap meets, which could be taken as a separate
action.

Mayor Stout stated the General Dynamics situation has not had any complaints in
five years. He felt there should be some limitations, but this particular
situation should not be prohibited.
Brad Buller, City Planner, reiterated the Temporary Use Permit does allow that
type of outdoor promotional sale, but not on a monthly basis, and stated there
is no exception to the code at this time. He added if the Council wanted it
separate, i.e., the code modified and amended to allow some provision such as
this, that would open the door to allow provisions for other outdoor swap meet
situations. He suggested the Council drop the outdoor portion of the amendment
which prohibits this.
Mayor Stout stated he would like further consideration of this issue, and would
like that dealt with separately from the proposed amendment before the Council
tonight.
