MODIFICATION TO DEVELOPMENT REVIEW 88-32 - NELSON - An appeal of the Planning Commission's decision to modify a condition of approval requiring the payment of an in-lieu fee for landscaping within the 1-15 Freeway right-of-way along the project frontage of 1.55 acres in the General Industrial Specific Plan, located on the east side of Hyssop Drive, north of 4th Street - APN 229- 331-02. Staff report presented by Brett Homer, Assistant Planner. Jack Lam, City Manager, stated this is not the first time this project has come up before the City Council, that there has been similar appeals on this subject. Councilwoman Wright asked for clarification of the map presented. Mr. Horner clarified the map presented to Councilwoman Wright. Mayor Stout opened the meeting for public hearing. Addressing the City Council were: John Nelson, 18 N. Central Avenue, Upland, asked that the Council uphold his appeal because of the economic hardship it would place on him. Councilwoman Wright asked if Mr. Nelson's business would benefit by the easy access to the freeway. Mr. Nelson stated he did not feel that would have an affect on his business. Councilwoman Wright asked if Mr. Nelson's business was visible from the freeway. Mr. Nelson stated it was. Councilman Alexander asked if Mr. Nelson was aware of some of the expenses that he would be responsible for before he got into this. Mr. Nelson stated it was not brought up until Design Review, but by that time he had already purchased the property. He stated he is already going to have to fill in the retention basin which was going to cost a considerable amount of money. City Council Minutes July 19, 1989 Page 9 George Robbins did not feel staff has divided the costs of landscaping the freeway access evenly with the property owners along the off-ramps. He felt it was unfair for this particular owner to be burdened with all of these costs. There being no further public response, Mayor Stout closed the public hearing. Councilwoman Wright asked how we are assessing the rest of the corridor. Otto Kroutil, Deputy City Planner, stated all the properties along this area are having to pay for this as one of their conditions, and further stated it is not a development fee. Councilwoman Wright asked if this could be done through a landscaping district. James Markman, City Attorney, stated this is Caltrans property so the City could not do this, but that the City would have to have a contract with them to do the planting. Councilwoman Wright asked if the retention basin issue was being considered separately. Russ Maguire, City Engineer, stated that the retention basin was not the issue tonight because it was not a part of the appeal. Mayor Stout stated that the basin was a condition of the parcel map long ago, and that the appeal period time limitation for that particular condition has since passed. Councilwoman Brown stated this is similar to the undergrounding of utilities. She felt that an Ordinance needed to be established so that a single property owner is not responsible for paying the total cost of the landscaping fees, just as a single owner is not responsible for the total undergrounding of utilities. Mayor Stout stated he felt this is what the Planning Commission was doing here. Councilwoman Brown stated she felt as many owners as possible should have to pay for this, and that this should be looked into. Mayor Stout stated that a property located near the freeway is more valuable, and felt the Planning Commission was fair in their decision. Councilman Alexander stated he felt the appeal should be denied. James Markman, City Attorney, stated what he is hearing is that the Council is asking for a motion to direct staff to bring back a Resolution sustaining the action of the Planning Commission on the area to be subjected to the fees, but modifying it so that the cross patch area fees would only be due upon applica- tion for any development activity in the southern portion, except in the retention basin. City Council Minutes July 19, 1989 Page 10 Councilwoman Brown stated she would at least like the option checked out to divide the cost for the landscaping. RESOLUTION NO. 89-340 A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF RANCHO CUCAMONGA, CALIFORNIA, DENYING ANAPPEALOF THE PLANNING COMMISSION'S DECISION TO MODIFY A CONDITION OF APPROVAL REQUIRING PAYMENT OF AN IN-LIEU FEE FOR LANDSCAPING WITHIN THE 1-15 (DEVORE) FREEWAY RIGHT-OF-WAY, FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF AN INDUSTRIAL BUILDING ON 1.55 ACRES OF LAND IN THE GENERAL INDUSTRIAL DISTRICT (SUBAREA 14), LOCATED ON HYSSOP DRIVE AND NORTH OF 4TH STREET MOTION: Moved by Brown, seconded by Stout to direct staff to bring back a Resolution sustaining the action of the Planning Commission on the area to be subjected to the fees, but modifying it so that the cross patch area fees would only be due upon application for any development activity in the southern portion, except in the retention basin. Motion tied shown as follows: AYES: Brown, Stout NOES: Alexander, Wright ABSENT: Buquet Councilman Alexander asked if it was appropriate to continue the item until some of the suggestions that were brought out tonight could be investigated. Mayor Stout stated he did not feel two weeks would be enough time to get the information that was needed, and also brought up the concern of a hardship being placed on the developer for the delay. MOTION: Moved by Alexander, seconded by Wright to continue the item for one month and that other possibilities be presented at that time, and that the public hearing be opened at that time. Motion carried unanimously 4-0-1 (Buquet absent). Mayor Stout asked Mr. Nelson if he concurred with continuing this to the August 16, 1989 meeting. Mr. Nelson concurred. , , , , , H.

Motion carried unanimously 4-0-1 (Buquet absent). H3. CONSIDERATION OF ESTABLISHING APPROPRIATE STANDARDS FOR DEVELOPMENT OF NECESSARY PUBLIC FACILITIES - GROWTH MANAGEMENT REPORT ITEM NUMBER 13. Staff report presented by Joe Schultz, Community Services Manager. Mayor Stout asked if the Park & Recreation Commission had approved this. Mr. Schultz stated they concurred, but added they felt it was not set in concrete and should be reviewed in two to three years. Mayor Stout concurred this should be reviewed periodically. Councilwoman Brown asked if the City Council would be adopting the standards before them tonight. Mr. Schultz stated yes so that staff could go back and start getting the dollar amounts. Councilwoman Wright stated she felt comfortable with approving the standards, but that if they were to approve something else, she felt that information was missing. Mr. Schultz stated they are asking for approval on the standards only, and for staff to start on the master plan. MOTION: Moved by Brown, seconded by Alexander to approve the standards. Motion carried unanimously 4-0-1 (Buquet absent). H4.

Staff report presented by Chief Ron Mayfield of the Rancho Cucamonga Fire Protection District. Chief Mayfield stated he was soliciting the City Council's support of the Paramedic Master Plan. Councilwoman Wright asked for a clarification on the survey, if there would be any conflicts with the private companies. Chief Mayfield stated that there would not be any duplication of efforts by anyone. Councilwoman Wright asked what the cost included. City Council Minutes July 19, 1989 Page 13 Chief Mayfield stated personnel is the major cost, and that the equipment would be a one time cost. Councilwoman Brown stated she felt the community would feel assured knowing if Mercy Ambulance had to go out of the area, the community would have someone in the City to take care of emergencies. Mayor Stout asked him to go over the costing plan per homeowner. Councilman Alexander stated he felt the people would decide if they wanted this to become a reality. Mayor Stout stated he felt it was an excellent idea, and that the City Council should endorse it. Councilwoman Brown asked if the City Council could go on the ballot supporting this. Chief Mayfield suggested that the City Council write an argument in favor of this measure. The City Council concurred. RESOLUTION NO. 89-343 A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF RANCHO CUCAMONGA, CALIFORNIA, SUPPORTING A BALLOT MEASURE PROPOSING THE LEVY OF A SPECIAL TAX WITHIN THE RANCHO CUCAMONGA FIRE PROTECTION DISTRICT TO FUND A DISTRICT PROVIDED PARAMEDIC PROGRAM MOTION: Moved by Wright, seconded by Brown to approve Resolution No. 89-343.

SOLID WASTE/RECYCLING UPDATE - Council Subcommittee for Solid Waste/Recycling recommends establishing a local environmental quality/resource recovery committee. (Oral Report) Continued from July 5, 1989 meeting. Staff report presented by Diane O'Neal, Administrative Analyst. Ms. O'Neal stated that it is the intent to refocus the Citizens Advisory Commission's responsibilities towards recycling and solid waste issues. Councilwoman Wright stated that if the Citizens Advisory Commission agreed, their entire focus would be on environmental issues. City Council Minutes July 19, 1989 Page 14 Councilman Alexander stated that some of the issues the Advisory Commission had worked on had fallen under the jurisdiction of other commissions. He thought this would be a good time to have the Advisory Commission refocus their efforts toward environmental issues. Councilwoman Wright stated they are asking for a task force to work on these types of issues, of which the membership would include the Citizens Advisory Commission and anyone else who wanted to be included in the task force. Mayor Stout stated he felt that such items as cable should not have to come before the City Council, but be taken care of by a City commission. Councilwoman Brown stated she felt this should be given to the Park & Recreation Commission, and some other areas could be given to the other various commissions. Councilwoman Wright stated that members of the task force would have to commit to a certain amount of time to work on the environmental issues. Councilwoman Brown stated that every member of the Advisory Commission would have first choice as to whether or not they wish to be on the Recycling Solid Waste Committee. She added she felt the door ought to be left open to anyone else who wanted to be on the committee, and that there should not be a number limitation placed for the committee membership. Councilwoman Wright stated that tonight they are asking for approval of the task force in concept. It was the consensus of the City Council to approve the concept of the Recycling Solid Waste Task Force, and that one member from the Advisory Commission Subcommittee and one member of the Recycling Solid Waste Subcommittee would meet with the Advisory Commission to discuss the refocus of their responsibilities. The Advisory Commission meeting scheduled for July 27, 1989 would adjourn to a special meeting, at which time the representatives of both City Council Subcommittees would discuss this with them. Jack Lam, City Manager, stated that both item numbers I2 and I3 were on the SANBAG agenda previously, and now it is being asked for the City Council to approve the Resolutions. I2.

Mayor Stout stated that the Public Safety Commission had placed this item on the agenda, and that they were requesting to be involved in developing a list of criteria and topics to be included within the proposed Law Enforcement Study. He added that he did not have a problem with this request. Councilwoman Brown felt a subcommittee of the City Council and a subcommittee of the Public Safety Commission should be established to work on this. She added that once the information had been gathered, it should come back to the City Council for further discussion. Mayor Stout entertained a motion for the City Council subcommittee and the subcommittee of the Public Safety Commission to begin discussion on what the scope should be for the proposed study on law enforcement. Councilwoman Wright stated she wanted the City Council to meet with the Sheriff on this issue, and to discuss with him what services the City of Rancho Cucamonga is now getting from the Sheriff's Department. Councilwoman Brown felt that both the City Council subcommittee and the Public Safety subcommittee should work up criteria prior to the meeting with the Sheriff. It was the consensus of the City Council that both subcommittees could come up with criteria to discuss with the Sheriff, and at the same time, be working up criteria and topics to be included within the proposed Law Enforcement Study. City Council Minutes July 19, 1989 Page 16 J. IDENTIFICATION OF ITEMS FOR NEXT MEETING Councilwoman Wright felt a meeting should be scheduled with the Chamber of Commerce to add to the list of other meetings that the City Council has scheduled with outside agencies. Councilwoman Wright asked for a report to come back on the trails, and for information on the study. Jack Lam, City Manager, stated that the trails study was handled by the Planning Department, but that when the RFP's went out it was going to cost more than what the City had originally planned, so staff would be doing part of the work and a consultant would be doing a part of it.
