City Council Minutes February 17, 1988 Page 9 MOTION: Moved by Buquet, seconded by Brown to approve the balance of the Consent Calendar minus Items C3, C12, C18, and C24. Motion carried unanimously 5-0. Discussion of Item C3. Alcoholic Beverage Application for Type "20" Off-Sale Beer and Wine, Circle K Convenience Stores, Inc., NWC or Base Line Road and Victoria Park Lane. Councilwoman Wright asked if it was typical to approve an Alcoholic Permit before the building was there. Mr. Wasserman responded that often this can happen. Mr. Markman, City Attorney, stated the only opposition we can make is if there is a building code problem that has not been met. Actually the Council is not approving the permit, this is on the Agenda as an informational item only. Councilwoman Brown stated that this parcel is on the next Planning Con~nission Agenda for a CUP. Mr. Markman stated that some cities require CUP for any off-site selling of alcoholic beverages. Mr. Buller, City Planner, stated this was not typical. They have been given a "green light" to file by the State. MOTION: Moved by Wright, seconded by Stout to receive and file the application. Motion carried unanimously 5-0. Discussion of Item C12. Approval to execute Contract Change Order No. 2 (CO 85- 79) with Madole and Associates Civil Engineers and Surveyors for a Professional Services Agreement for Plans, Specifications and Estimates for Haven Avenue Median Island Construction.

(0602-01 CONT AMEN) Councilwoman Wright stated she pulled this Item because it was a last chance to attach a "trailer bill" to something. She wanted to be able to commemorate the work which was done in the past by the City before incorporation. She felt that perhaps we could have something significant attached to this project. Mayor Stout expressed that we could put something in the parkway at Wilson which was the beginning of the project. Mr. Lam, Community Development Director, stated we could propose some type of marker. City Council Minutes February 17, 1988 Page 10 Councilwoman Wright accepted the suggestion that this should be referred to the Historical Preservation Commission, and to have this come back to Council at a later time. MOTION: Moved by Wright, seconded by Buquet to approve Item C12. carried unanimously 5-0. Motion Discussion of I t e m C18. Approval to modify and approve the Conditions of Approval on an appeal of the Planning Commission Conditions relating to Environmental Assessment and Conditional Use Permit 87-05 Cross and Crown Lutheran Church confirming Council action of a hearing held February 3, 1988. (0701-06 APPEAL) Councilwoman Wright stated she pulled this because she wanted to know if the public hearing was closed, and if anyone was allowed further input. Mr. Markman responded that the public hearing was closed. The roofing material was referred to Development Review which they approved. Councilwoman Wright responded she had not heard that, and was glad that was so. MOTION: Moved by Wright, seconded by Buquet to approve Item C18. carried unanimously 5-0. Motion Discussion of Item C24. Approval of an Indenture between the Southern Pacific Transportation Company (CO 88-024) and the City for construction of City- maintained landscaped slopes within the Rail road's right-of-way, between Milliken Avenue and Day Creek Boulevard northerly of Base Line Road - submitted by The William Lyon Company. (0602-01 CONTRACT) Councilwoman Wright stated it was difficult to see on a map how large an area this was to be maintained. Russell Maguire, City Engineer, stated it was approximately 16 feet by 30 feet wide. Councilwoman Wright stated she would like some clarification between this project and the one at 8th Street where staff had stated in order to work on the wall adjacent to the railroad would be dangerous to employees. She wanted to know what the difference was. Mr. Maguire responded the difference was that on the Southern Pacific Railroad, there would be only ten trains a month, and they were not high-speed trains. The developer has to improve this and make different ways for employees to get into it. He could not answer the questions regarding policy as to why this decision was made. City Council Minutes February 17, 1988 Page 11 Councilwoman Wright stated she felt this was acceptable, but she did not feel she had all the necessary information.

Mr. Lam stated that these are done by deed restrictions which will be done separately. The City Council will see all of these things before anything happens to that property. Councilwoman Wright expressed she was hoping that both things would be happening at the same time, so if there was any problem with the deed we would not be stuck with the industrial zoning. She asked if there was any possibility that this could be accomplished. Mr. Lam responded that we could if that's what Council wished. Mr. Buller elaborated it would take staff about a month to prepare this and before staff could do anything with that property, it would have to be approved by the City Council. Mr. Markman stated the only way we can be assured of this would be to put the restrictions in the grant deed. Since the City already owns the property, we can limit the uses through the transfer process regardless what is in the Specific Plan. If we approve this now, it would be easier to market the property then we could explain the zone restrictions. If we leave it zoned this way, a developer may pass on the property. Councilwoman Wright expressed she felt satisfied that her concerns are being taken care of.

(0203-03 DC AMEN) ORDINANCE NO. 338 (second reading) AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF RANCHO CUCAMONGA, CALIFORNIA, AMENDING SECTION 17.10,030G2 OF THE RANCHO CUCAMONGA MUNICIPAL CO~ PERTAINING TO PARKING LOT AND SIDEWALK SALES Councilwoman Wright stated she had pulled this item because she felt the original intention of this was because there was a specific problem. She felt this was overly restrictive and the obtaining of a permit appeared also to be overly restrictive. Mr. Richard Alcorn, Community Code Representative Supervisor, stated that the number of sales and frequency of sales has not changed by this regulation. He stated the main focus of the original Ordinance was to assign an approval to a business location rather than to a business entity. As far as a temporary use permit requirement, that has not changed either. MOTION: Moved by Buquet, seconded by Brown to waive full reading of Ordinance No. 338 and approve said Ordinance.

Additional verbiage on the signs: they were willing to remove the additional verbiage. Neon bolt: they were willing to use a red neon internal illumination instead of the exposed neon bolt, Sign placement at 22 feet in height: they were willing to lower their sign to 20 feet from grade.

APPEAL ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT AND TENTATIVE TRACT 13579 - AYOUB - An appeal of the Planning Commission's decision denying the development of 9 units on .69 acres of land in the Medium Residential District (8-14 dwelling units per City Council Minutes February 17, 1988 Page 17 acre), located on the east side of Hellman Avenue, 325 feet north of 19th Street -APN 201-474-12. Staff report was presented by Debra Meier, Associate P1 anner. ( 0701-06 APPEAL) Mayor Stout opened the meeting for public hearing. Addressing Council were: Peter Lynch representing applicant/owner of this property. Jake Jecmedsen presented renderings of the project. Frank Ake, Architect. Nancy Hanwright, 6630 Sugar Pine Place, stated she would love to have buildings on that place, but she felt this was too many people in such a small area and objected to this. There being no further public input, Mayor Stout closed the public hearing. Councilwoman Wright expressed she had been opposed to this project from the very beginning, and that the developer has not mitigated the concerns. She further stated she had received many calls, and she felt that this was not the right development for that place. Councilman Buquet stated we were looking at three-quarters of an acre with nine units and felt that was too intense for that area. Councilwoman Brown stated she concurred with both Councilwoman Wright and Councilman Buquet and also had concerns regarding the ingress and egress. Also, there was no parking for visitors except on Hellman. Staff stated that the project allowed for three guest parking spaces for the enti re project. Mayor Stout stated that it was extremely difficult to come up with something that would be acceptable, but he felt the Planning Commission was right in their decision on this item. MOTION: Moved by King, seconded by Wright to deny the appeal and reaffirm the Planning Commission findings summarized as follows: The Planning Commission determined that the density of the site as proposed was not compatible to adjacent properties. The proposed project does not provide a gradual transition from one land use to another, but instead proposes a sharp contrast. The Hellman Avenue neighborhood character is that of low profile, single family residences. The proposed project does not relate the mass and scale of the building proportionately to the site size, street set- back, and open space. A landscaped open space on the project site is basically limited to the front set-back and the rear 20 feet of the site. The architectural character of the proposed project does not promote City Council Minutes February 17, 1988 Page 18 o the Planning Commission's expectations of superior quality based on the design guidelines, and development standards of the Development Code and General Plan. The ultimate density allowed within any residential density range shall be determined through the development review process and public hearings. The Planning Commission determined that this project did not provide the proper transition between land use districts nor compatibility with adjacent residential development. Motion carried unanimously 5-0' Mayor Stout called a recess at 8:50 p.m. All members of Council were present. The meeting reconvened at 9:00 p.m. (38) (39) E5.

Staff report presented by P~ul Rougeau, Sr. Civil Engineer. (1141-10 SPEED LIMIT) Mayor Stout opened the meeting for public hearing. Addressing Council was: Mike Groessel, a resident of the Woods area, expressed concern about the safety of the children in the area. He felt the speed limit should be lowered to 35 mph because of the school in the area, width of the road, flooding problems, and the percentage of cars that traveled the road. He stated there was no place for the children to walk, especially north and south of the school area, until the street is widened out. There being no further public comments, Mayor Stout closed the public hearing. Councilwoman Wright asked if the courts allowed any other kind of traffic control other than radar. Mr. Rougeau responded the courts wanted speed limits set according to state law, not arbitrarily. The courts will not allow radar on speeds that are set arbitrarily.

Staff report presented by Paula Pachon, Community Services Administrative Assistant. (1402-06 HISTORY) Councilman King asked what was civil remedy for enforcement? Mr. Markman, City Attorney, responded that we would have the ability with this section should someone start to knock down some historical buildings, we could stop them and actually get some type of civil remedy.

SIGN ORDINANCE - Review of changes proposed by Chamber of Commerce. Staff report presented by Dan Coleman, Sr. Planner. (0807-02 SIGN) Mayor Stout opened the meeting for public comment. Addressing Council were: John Mannerino, representing the Chamber of Commerce, stated the Chamber's desire was to work for an Ordinance that would make code enforcement easier through voluntary compliance, and they had two recommendations as follows: Neon signs - to al 1 ow a tasteful neon signs. Window signs - eliminate temporary signs and replace with a class called display signs. Lowell Gomes, President of the Chamber, stated that on a survey they found 92% of the small businesses were in violations of the Sign Ordinance. He hoped Council would consider their recommendations, and they would be willing work with Council on this. Mike Mitchell, local businessman, stated the Sign Ordinance required that the temporary window signs get a permit. He felt that it would take more manpower to enforce, and that we should get out of the permit process. Gary Stobbe stated he had been contacted by the State to come up with a safe sign. He stated they have a window sign which is shock proof, fire proof, etc. After further discussion and directing questions to Mr. Bob Thomas, Chairman of the Task Force, Mayor Stout stated he felt he needed some time to study this. Some of the things suggested have merit, but he was not sure he liked the Chamber's conclusion. Councilman Buquet stated that even from the beginning Council stated they would always be open for modifications to the Sign Ordinance. He had some reservations about neon signs. He felt that perhaps we could put the neon sign under a design review process. (42) City Council Minutes February 17, 1988 Page 22 (43) (44) (45) Councilwoman Wright agreed, she needed to be educated on what things are. She was not against neon, but felt it could be controlled. Councilman King agreed with Councilman Buquet about neon signs. He felt we should focus on all different land uses with appropriate methods and types of signs which are allowed. For example, something on Foothill would be more appropriate than a particular type of sign on Haven. Councilwoman Brown felt that a Sign Ordinance should not be a blanket type Ordinance, but certain things allowed in certain areas. She stated she would have to be shown where allowing neon would improve this City, and she also agreed she needed to have further study on this. Mr. Buller, City Planner, recommended that this be put on the next City Council Agenda so Council could further address these issues. Mayor Stout stated he would like to make it in four weeks. ACTION: For staff to bring the item back in four weeks, and for Mr. Buller to summarize what Council has already stated. Once direction is received from Council, then it will be forwarded on to the Planning Conmission. MOTION: Moved by Stout, seconded by King to continue the item to March 16, 1988 City Council Agenda. Motion carried unanimously 5-0. *** , · G2. MID-YEAR REVIEW OF CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT BUDGET FOR FISCAL YEAR 1987-88. Staff report presented by Russell Maguire, City Engineer. (0806-00 CIP) MOTION: Moved by Stout, seconded by King to approve the report including the additional projects and funding sources. Motion carried unanimously 5-0.

ACTION: Council received and filed the report and requested the item to be brought back with an outline of the course of action for consideration at the March 16, 1988 City Council meeting. G5. MINIMUM UNIT SIZE FOR MULTI-FAMILY DWELLINGS - A request by the Planning Commission to clarify City Council direction as to potential modifications of the minimum dwelling unit requirements for multi-family dwellings. Staff report presented by Otto Kroutil, Deputy City Planner. (0203-04 HOUSING) Councilman Buquet expressed that the perception for multi-family units today were too small. He felt the market was appropriate now for larger minimum unit sizes. Councilwoman Wright expressed that there was a need for some smaller units, but she felt there had been an over-concentration in the small units. She felt some type of limit should be put on the ratio. Also, when this comes back, she would like to see a study of what this is today with a proposal to improve this. Mr. Kroutil asked if Council still wanted staff to do a study relating unit sizes to density, He said staff has looked at this, but did not see the connection. Councilman King stated he was in favor of increasing the living space, but to the extent you increase the living space and keep the densities the same then you decrease the open space. So when you approach the issue of living space, you need to approach this with the concept of open space and density. Basically all three are interrelated so you could get an appropriate fit. Mayor Stout stated we had open space requirements so eventually if they can not make it fit, they have to have less units. Councilman Buquet stated he would be interested in knowing, over the last four years, the number of average size multi-family units that have been constructed in the small range. ACTION: The above comments were directions given for the Planning Commission. H~ COUNCIL BUSINESS H1. DISCUSSION TO APPOINT A SUBCOMMITTEE FOR THE 150TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE RANCHO.
