Staff report by Bruce Cook, Associate Planner. (0203-05 DC AMENDMENT) Mayor Mikels opened the meeting for public hearing. Addressing Council was: Chris Bradford, 4030 La Hunter, representing Lewis Homes, stated that Lewis Homes approved the Plan in principal, but they had some problems since it did not give developers flexibility for replacement of trees. There being no further public response, Mayor Mikels closed the public hearing. Councilman Dahl stated we really did not have any specifications or standards for planting those types of trees which we required of a developer. He would like to see some type of standards for planting of the larger trees to force the root system of the tree to go deep when it is planted in an area of heavy watering. Councilwoman Wright stated that in effect we are eliminating the 5 gallon trees from the development and allowing them to be replaced by 15 gallon trees. We are not really changing the total number of the large box type trees. In the high density, we would be losing 20 trees per acre. She felt that developers are coming in and are being allowed to remove the trees all together and plant new trees. She felt we should eliminate the 5 gallon trees and require at a minumum the 15 gallon trees, but she was not in favor of reducing the total number. Councilman Buquet felt the proposed amendments goes along the line of concerns of those who wanted to see more mature trees in a short period of time. Devel- opment interests have favored going to the 5 gallon trees which are less cost- ly. Also, the 15 gallon trees have a tendency of being very shallow rooted and will topple over. Mayor MikeIs felt Chat if all the trees were 15 gallon and they presented problems, then those problem* would be that much greater. He felt a mixture of the ~wo sized trees makes for a better quality appearance as opposed to all one kind. Councilmen King felt we should go forward with the proposal as suggested. It comes about from a field trip by staff and planning commission. There has been a problem in terms of the size of trees. Councilman Dahl stated he would feel mere comfortable witb the proposal if some planting standards were included in the ordinance, but they could come back as an amendment. He was not comfortable with decreasing the number of small trees and increasing the larger trees.

AREA SPECIFIC PLAN AMENDMENT 85-05- CITY OF P~.NCRO CUCAMONGA - An Amendment to the Industrial Area Specific Plan to add Research and Development/Office use to the ~aven Avenue Overlay District. Staff report by Nancy Fong, Associate Planner. (0203-05 ISP AMENDMENT) Mayor MikeIs opened the meeting for public hearing. Addressing Council were: Dan Ricbards, 9333 Base Line, asked if we were talking about 200 feet off ~aven on each side. 8e had several serious concerns: (I) the notice for this hearing was by newspaper instead of by landowner. (2) what is being considered now is to allow PaD buildings instead of the "high tech" office buildings along Haven Avenue which was the intent of the Haven Avenue Overlay Study. He felt that if we were talking about the 200 to 300 feet on each side of Haven, there would be some adverse affects on property values. City Planner, Brad Bullet, stated this change would not affect the oth~ changes which talk about the qualitT, type of buildings that would be along ~ yen Avenue. This is simply stating that Research and Development Office use~ would be allowed. Mayor Mikels stated to avoid confusion we may need to add some descriptive wording. Mr. Richards stated his concern was with the type of building as well as the use. He felt this wasn't clear. There being no further public response, Mayor Mikels closed the public hearing. Mr. Bullet explained that this was an amendment to the types of uses that can happen behind and within the buildings. The standards are there. The quality of Haven Avenue is still there. There are so many variations of type of PaD office uses. Staff believes the standards are there to reach the results of the ~aven Avenue Overlay District. Councilman Ring felt comfortable with the way its written. Councilwoman Wright asked why the RAD were under Permitted Uses rather than Conditional Uses. Mr. Bullet answered that the reason is before Council is that the Council in August adopted an amendment to the Industrial Specific Plan which has made some inconsistencies with the Haven Avenue Overlay. The attempt is to rectify those inconsistencies. ACTION: Council concurred in moving R&D/Office Uses under the Conditional Per- mitted Uses. Councilwoman Wright asked if the landowners could be notified before the secon~ reading. City Council Minuzes January 15, 1986 Page 5 Mr. Richerda expressed that R&D projects because of its less intensive use, the requirements to build one is less stringent, especially on parking. What if someone comes in the Haven Avenue Overlay District and says this is an PAD building. The CUP hopefully would resolve this, but you could end up with side by side projects that require different parking requirements. Councilman Buquet felt that perhaps we did not want to encourage PAD along that corridor. Councilman Dahl stated that there were a group of parcels along the corridor which office uses do not make sense, especially next to the railroad tracks. Mayor MikeIs suggested that Council could make a decision one way or another later; for now we could notify the landowners and continue the first reading. MOTION: Moved by Dabl, seconded by Wright to continue to March 5, 1986 and have notices sent out to all property owners of the hearing. Motion carried unanimously 5-0.
