City Council Minutes January 20, 1982 Page Four 4C ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT AND ZONE ZONE NO. 81-O1-LAWLOR Prior to discussion of this item, Councilman Bridge asked to excused and stepped down from his Council seat. A request for a change of zone from R-i-20,000 and R-l-14 acres to R-I-30,000 for approximately 46 acres of land generally located on the north side of Almond, between Sapphire and Turquoise - APN 200-061-12, 200-051-06, and 1061-172-03. Michael Vairin, Senior Planner, presented the staff report. Councilman Mikels inquired whether there was any indication by the Planning Com- mission as to the type of density or zoning being discussed on the tract map to the north of the parcel in question. Mr. Vairin responded that one to two acre lot sizes had been discussed depending on the slope of the particular lots. City Clerk Wasserman read the Title of Ordinance No. 159 ORDINANCE NO. 159 (First Reading) AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF RANCHO CUCAMONGA, CALIFORNIA, REZONING ASSESSOR'S PARCEL NIFMBER 1061-173-03, 200-061-12, and 200-051- 06 LOCATED GENERALLY ON THE NORTHWEST CORNER OF SAPPHIRE AND ALMOND FROM R-l-14 ACRES AND R-I-20,000 TO R-I-30,000. MOTION: Moved by Palombo and seconded by Mikels to waive furher reading of Ordinance No. 159. Motion Carried by the following vote: AYES: Frost, Mikels, Palombo and Schlosser. NOES: None ABSENT: Bridge Mayor Schlosser opened the meeting for public hearing. Leon Kedding, C.M. Engineering, stated he represented the owner of the property in question. He indicated that they have no objections to the R-I-30,000 and they concurred with the recommendation of the Planning Commission. In response to inquiries from the Council, Mr. Kedding stated the parcel consists of 33 lots on 46 acres plus open space. He stated the 2.5 acres at the northeast corner of the property was desig- nated as open space because the terrain was a difference of about a 3-1 slope and the bottom area was designated as open space because it is covered by two utility easements. He noted that the easement area will be maintained by property owners, but there is a possibility the Los Angeles Bureau of Power and Light will want to acquire their portion of the easement. Chuck Morgan, 8234 Almond, stated that he had spoken before Council in opposition to the density on this property in the past. He stated that three additional items had come up: 1. Proposed collector for flood control to be built north of channel is on somebody elses property. 2. It took fire department 7 minutes and 5 seconds to respond to brush fire at this location. 3. The Department of Water and Power does not maintain their easement. There being no further comments, the Public Hearing was closed. Councilman Frost expressed concern regarding whether the proposal provided the transition the City was seeking. Noting that the completion of the Gen- eral Plan is the commencement of a process rather than the end of one, he suggested this is one area we need to take another look at, particularly north of the power line easement. City Council Minutes January 20, 1982 Page Five Councilman Mikels stated he recalled that the motion referring the matter to the Planning Commission was with an indication that the zoning designation of this particular property should come out of a larger hillside residential zoning concept. He indicated that there was not enough time since this item was last before Council to develop a total concept of zoning classifications with the hillside residential land use category. He suggested one mechanism to achieve the objective of Council would be to redesignate the zoning to R-l-1 for this property. Councilman Palombo asked Michael Vairin, Senior Planner, how the desig- nation of R-l-1 would affect the adjacent properties. Mr. Vairin replied that it would provide a better buffer to the north area. In reference to the north tract, Mr. Vairin stated that staff did stipulate to both the applicant and Commission, that comprehensive standards would be prepared prior to consideration of another tract. Mayor Schlosser stated that he was not confortable with the R-l-1 clas- sification, noting that this may even be too high of a density, and he stressed that whatever decision was made on this tract would not predetermine what would happen in the tract immediately above it. Motion: Moved by Mikels, seconded by Palombo, that the zoning desig- nation for Ordinance 159 be changed to R-l-l, noting Mayor Schlosser's concern that this may even be too high a density, and the Ordinance be given a new first reading with the second reading set for February 3, 1982. Prior to voting on the motion, Mayor Schlosser opened the meeting for public hearing. * Leon Kedding stated that his client was not present but stated he would have no objections to the action at the present time as long as they would have an opportunity to address Council at second reading. Council assured Mr. Kedding that there would be a public hearing at second reading. * Mr. Morgan stated he was under the impression that this was a lot subdivision and that whoever buys a lot would design his own home and do his own cutting and grading. Mike Vairin responded that they are proposing custom lot subdi- visions. However, he pointed out that this would not prevent a builder from purchasing and building homes on several lots unless there was some particular restriction in the C.C. & R. There being no further response, the Public Hearing was closed. Councilman Mikels called for the question. Motion Carried with the following vote: AYES: Frost, Mikels, Palombo and Schlosser NOES: None ABSENT: Bridge City Clerk Wasserman read the Title of Ordinance No. 159, as revised.

CITY M~NAGER'S STAFF REPORTS 5A. REPORT ON IMPROVEMENTS TO THE RANCHO CUCAMONGA NEIGHBORHOOD CENTER. Community Services Director Bill Holley reviewed the staff report and recommendation for Council to approve the expenditure of $6,622.00 from the reserve fund for modifications to the kitchen area at the Rancho Cucamonga Neighborhood Center. Mr. Holley reviewed the break- down of cost as follows: 1o Wall/Counter/Cabinet modifications. Recommend contract with Stanton Construction for $3,384.00. 2. Cooling/Ventilation System. Recommend contract with Alta Air in the amount of $2,390.00 3. Purchase of refrigerator from Ontario Appliance in the amount of $848.00 Motion: Moved by Mikels, seconded by Palombo that Council concur with staff recommendation and approve expenditure of $6,622.00 from reserve fund for modifications to kitchen area at Rancho Cucamonga Neighborhood Center. Prior to voting on the motion, Councilman Bridge expressed his reser- vations about approving this expenditure so close to the new budget year and suggested that part or all of the cost be deferred for con- sideration in normal budgeting procedures. He suggested the refriger- ator might be considered a separate item with the ventilation and other modifications deferred to to the normal budget process. Councilman Frost stated he concurred with Councilman Bridge but would vote yes on the motion since he felt the request would meet the test in the budgetary process and any further delay would probably cost a few more dollars. He stated, however, that he would not be receptive to any further requests for additional budgetary expenditures, either this year or the next two, if they are brought before Council in this manner. Mayor Schlosser called a vote on the motion. Motion carried with the following vote: AYES: Palombo, Mikels, Frost and Schlosser NOES: Bridge. ABSENT: None 5B DISCUSSION OF LAFC FEASIBILITY STUDY OF FOOTHILL FIRE PROTECTION DISTRICT Lauren Wasserman reviewed the L~cal Agency Formation Commission's study of the feasibility of establishing the Foothill Fire Protection District as a subsidiary district of the City. He discussed both the advantages and disadvantages of forming a subsidiary district as outlined in the staff report and reviewed the distribution of augmentation funding. In the discussion that followed, it was the consensus of Council that the new Fire District Board be given an opportunity to work out some of their problems and that no action be taken by the City at this time. Motion: Moved by Frost, seconded by Bridge that the Mayor send a letter to LAFC indicating that the City will not take a position on this issue at the present time. Prior to voting on the motion, Mayor Schlosser opened the meeting for public input. There being being no response, Public Hearing was closed. Mayor Schlosser called a vote on motion. Motion carried unanimously 5-0. 5C VIDEO GAMES AND ARC~JDES Michael Vairin reviewed the staff report on the issue of video game arcades in relation to existing laws and the possible impact upon the community. 22) (23) City Council Minutes January 20, 1982 Page Eight Councilman Mikels stated that he agreed with the Planning Commission recommendation as outlined in Option 2 of the staff report as follows: "2. The City could amend the Zoning Ordinance, such as allow- ing amusement enterprises in the C-1 and C-2 zones with the approval of a Conditional Use Permit, plus clarify the incidental use of video games according to the desires of the City." Councilman MikeIs indicated that he saw no problem with continuation of use in a C-2 zone but concurred there should be some restrictions in C-1. In particular, he expressed his concern about video games in liquor stores. Mayor Schlosser opened the meeting for public input. * Julie Bozick, student, inquired about definitions of some of ~he terms used. She concurred that video games should not be in liquor stores or in close proximity to schools. * JOe Mannella, arcade owner, stated arcades should be scattered through- out the Community and not concentrated in any one area. He agreed that their use should be monitored in liquor stores and pizza places, and stressed the importance of responsible adult supervision. He suggested a 10:00 p.m. closing date on weekdays and 11:00 p.m. on Friday and Saturday. * Chuck Buquet expressed concern about video games in liquor stores and enforcement to insure responsible adult supervision. There being no further response, public hearing was closed. Councilman MikeIs outlined the following criteria for granting C.U.P.s to allow video games/arcades in C-1 zones: 1. Hours of operation (whether the conflict with school hours). 2. Restriction of the number permitted as an accessory use. 3. Need for responsible adult supervision. 4. Avoid close proximity to schools and other community uses. Motion: Moved by Mikeis, seconded by Palombo that an amendment to the Zoning Ordinance be established creating a C.U.P. requirement for arcades in a C-1 zone. He further moved that the Planning Commission establish certain criteria, including those items indicated above, for determining whether a C.U.P. should be granted, and these requirements be brought back to Council for approval.
