Mayor asked if anyone had come for the public hearing on the vacation of Alder Street since it had been set for December 5 and would not be able to come on December 19. No one responded. Item "d". The mayor said the reason he asked for this to be removed was he felt that since the Planning Commission had set an 11:00 p.m. limit on their meetings, he felt the dollar amount should be increased to $45.00 per meeting and the time to 11:30 p.m. Motion: Moved by Palombo, seconded by Mikels to approve the compensation for the Planning Commission Secretary to $45.00 per meeting for time to 11:30 p.m. For any time after 11:30 p.m. compensation will be either at the regular hourly rate or compensatory time off.

General Plan Amendment No. 79-03E and 79-03I by the City of Rancho Cucamonga.. (12) Staff report by Barry Hogan. (0203-03 Request for change in the present designation of the property on the northwest corner of Baseline Road and Haven Avenue to conform with the property as it is currently developed. The property located at the corner of Baseline and Haven is already developed as single family residences; therefore, it is recommended that this area be designated as low family residential from the medium density. Adjacent to this single family tract is the mobile home park, which a portion of is designated as low density residential. It is recommended that the designation be changed from low density residential to medium density residential. There was no public comment to these recommendations.

(0203-03 GP ~MEND) The intent of this amendment is to clarify the meaning of "Alternative Commercial sites" and to create more flexibility in these designations. At the present certain corners at'intersections in the city have been indicated as the property best suited for a neighborhood center or community center. To indicate these on the General Plan map an asterisk has been placed over the property. Recommendation before Council is to remove these asterisks over a designated property and place these at the inter- section to indicate any two of the corners may be developed. Mayor opened the meeting for public hearing. He took each recommended change individually for comments as follows: Exhibit 1: combines the asterisks on the northwest, southwest, and southeast corners of Foothill Boulevard and Vineyard Avenue into one asterisk overlaying the inter- section of Foothill Boulevard and Vineyard Avenue. There were no public comments. Exhibit 2: eliminates the asterisk on the southeast corner of Arrow Route and Archibald Avenue and replaces the asterisk with a neighborhood community land use. The reason for this asterisk elimination is that the center is already under development. Chuck Buquet asked if this designates the use for the neighboring lot. Mr. Hogan said no that the city had a conceptual plan already that coicides with the Jack-in-the- Box. Exhibit 3: eliminates the asterisk shown near the intersection of Arrow Route and Haven Avenue and adds an asterisk at the intersection of Turner Avenue and Arrow Route. Also, the asterisk at the northeast corner of Foothill and Haven is moved to the intersection of Foothill Boulevard and Haven Avenue. --- Mikels questioned Exhibit 3. He said Council had already designated the southeast corner as commercial. Discussion followed with Council deleting all but, "Adds an asterisk at the intersection of Turner Avenue and Arrow Route." from Exhibit 3. Exhibit 4: combines the asterisk north of Highland Avenue on the east and west side of Haven Avenue into one asterisk located midway between Highland Avenue and Lemon Avenue on Haven. Mr. Don Evans, T & S Properties, and Mr. Milton Zukor, · property owner of the southeast corner of Haven and Highland, addressed Council requesting that Council consider making the intersection of Haven and Highland with the commercial designation instead of further north. City Council Minutes December 5, 1979 Page Six Exhibit 5: combines the asterisk on the southwest corner of Rochester and Base- line and the northwest corner of Baseline into one asterisk over the inter- section of Baseline Avenue and Rochester Avenue. There were no public comments. Exhibit 6: combines the asterisk on the four corners of Etiwanda Avenue and Baseline Avenue into one asterisk over the intersection of Baseline and Etiwanda Avenues. The asterisk on the southwest corner of Highland and Etiwanda Avenue is relocated to the intersection of Highland and Etiwanda Avenues. Joe Dilorio asked for clarification. He felt the asterisk should remain on Alternates A and B of the General Plan and eliminate asterisk on Alternate C. Public hearing was closed. Council's actions taken were as follows: Exhibit 1: was okay as recommended. Exhibit 2: was okay as recommended. Exhibit 3: Was okay as amended to: "Adds an asterisk at the intersection of Turner and Arrow Route." Exhibit 4: Mikels said there was an inconsistency between Exhibit 4 and 1 in the text of the General Plan. After some discussion, Council concurred that Exhibit 4 should be deleted. Exhibit 5: was okay as recommended. Exhibit 6: Council concurred to leave Alternatives A and B as is, and eliminate Alternative C. Motion: Moved by Mikels, seconded by Palombo to approve Exhibits 1 through 6 as amended with the deletion of Exhibit 4. Motion carried as follows: AYES: Schlosser, Mikels, Palombo, Bridge, and Frost. NOES: None. ABSENT: None. Mikels expressed that he felt the Council should come up with a consistent policy regarding the off ramps at Haven and Highland. Other members of the Council concurred that they did not have to make any other decision other than to take a "no position" on item 4 and to delete the item. (14) 5D.

(16) Report by Bill Holley. (1402-06 HISTORY) The Rancho Cucamonga Historic Preservation Commission has forwarded to the City Council for consideration eight sites which have been noted of historic value by other government agencies as historic landmarks or points of interest. Discussion followed by the Council regarding the proper designation for the Tapia Adobe site. Mikels felt that if this were designated as a landmark then it would fall under Ordinance No. 70 which would restrict future development. Motion: Moved by Mikels, seconded by Palombo to remove the Tapia Adobe site from Ordinance No. 92 and put it as an historic point of interest in Ordinance No. 93, set December 19 for second reading of both ordinances, and to waive entire reading of both ordinances.

CITY MANAGER'S STAFF REPORTS. (17) 6A. Parkway Development Priority List. Report by Jack Lam (1110-05 MEDIANS) Staff had developed a list of priority parkway projects for Council's consideration. A list of seven possible projects had been presented to both the Planning Com- mission and Advisory Commission to select a pilot project for the use of the beautification fees. The seven possible projects were: a. Maintain, clean and retrofit landscaping and irrigation to the parkways along Carnelian Avenue north of Baseline and retrofit landscaping on Carnelian Avenue south of Baseline to the appro- ximate extension of Church Street; b. Retrofit landscaping and irrigation of the parkways on Baseline Road north and south side from western city limits to Haven Avenue; c. Retrofit landscaping and irrigation of the parkways on Archibald Avenue from 19th Street south of Foothill Boulevard. d. Install landscaping in the existing median islands on Foothill BOulevard at the intersection of Archibald Avenue. e. Retrofit landscaping and irrigation to the sidewalk area along 19th Street from Sapphire to Carnelian. f. Retrofit landscaping and irrigation of the parkways along Hellman Avenue between Arrow Route and Foothill Boulevard. g. Retrofit landscaping and irrigation of the parkway along Arrow Route between Hellman Avenue and Archibald Avenue. Mayor asked if anyone in the audience wished to comment. The following addressed Council requesting Council to consider Haven Avenue as the pilot project: Millicent Arner; Virginia ~Adkins, Chairperson of the Haven Avenue project for the Women's Club; and Caroline McSheery. Chuck Buquet, Advisory Commission member, explained this was to be a pilot project and the Commission had carefully considered all projects and felt the Carnelian project was the best since there wasn't any landscaping at all and Haven did have something. Also Haven would be coming under the maintenance program. Mr. Lam pointed out that basically Haven Avenue was undeveloped. As this developed, the developer would be responsible for street improvements and landscaping of the parkways and street medians. However, Carnelian was developed and did not have any source of funds for parkways by developers. This was why the beautification fee was established. Motion: Moved by Schlosser, seconded by Palombo to use the beautification fees that have currently been collected for the maintenance, cleaning, and retrofiting of landscape and irrigation to the parkways along Carnelian Avenue north of Base- line and retrofit landscaping along Carnelian Avenue south of Baseline to the approximate extension of Church Street. Also, to authorize staff to request for quotes on the project. Motion carried by the following vote: AYES: Schlosser, Mikels, Palombo, and Frost. NOES: None. ABSTAINED: Bridge.
