Motion: Moved by Palombo, seconded by Mikels to approve the Consent Calendar
excluding items "1" and "m". Motion carried 5-0.
Item "1" -- Mikels asked for clarification. Hubbs explained that the request for an
extension of time came because the owner could not proceed with improvements until
.__ the Cucamonga County Water District's weir box was removed. The Water District had
at one time requested that this remain until the determination was made of its
usefulness. The owner has received confirmation from the Water District that the box
may now be removed. Thus, the owner was requesting an extension of time. The city
was requiring an increase in the surety to keep current with present Costs.

Mikels questioned the intent of the language in Section 3-B of Ordinance No. 86.
After some discussion, the Mayor asked the Cit~ Attorney to clarify the section and
Council would come back to this later.
Mayor opened the meeting for public hearing. Those speaking were:
Ron Mayfield. He asked that Council entertain a motion to drop the moratorium
on four lots or less and parcel maps since they are exempt from the ordinance.
The City Attorney stated that the ordinance was drafted to prevent four by
fouring and repeated minor subdivision involving the same parcels.
Kay Matlock, Lewis Homes, requested one change. She felt the minimum points in the
architectural design, landscaping design, and site and street design sections
--- should be eliminated so costs could be kept to a minimum in order to be able to build
affordable homes.
Bill Lawrence, William C. Lawrence Company, also spoke that the minimum points should
be reduced or eliminated in the architectural design section.
Ken Willis, Building Industry Association, said the industry was working on the
problem of school capacity. However, the main problem was the uncertainty of
development in Rancho Cucamonga. Further delay would be signaling the developers that
Rancho Cucamonga is not the City to go to with development. He said they would
like to see the date for the filing of maps set as May 1, 1980.
Jeff Serenka spoke for the Board of Realtors and concurred with Ken Willis that to
put off building, we would be signaling developers and investors that we are not
ready for development. He recommended adopting the May 1 filing date.
Ralph Lewis, Lewis Homes, stated he had several concerns which were:
-Requirement of a school letter should be negotiable, not mandatory.
-Developers need assurance they could build a certain number of homes per year.
-Proposed high school should not be so fancy.
Doug Hone, Hone and AssociateS, Inc., stated that the Board of Directors of the
Chamber of Commerce was in support of the adoption of Ordinance No. 86 with the
filing date stipulated as soon as possible. They would like to support the ordinance
as drafted.
Bill Young, Vanguard Builders, supported the May 1 date for filing. He asked that
tracts which had been filed with the County be credited the fees so they would not have
to pay the fees again.

Gary Frye, William Lyon Company, supported the Growth Management Plan with the May
1 date for filing.
There being no further comments from the audience, the Mayor closed the hearing.
After some discussion by the Council, it was moved by Bridge, seconded by Palombo to
adopt Ordinance No. 86 inserting the application filing period as soon as possible,
but no later than August 1, 1980.
Mr. Dougherty said the ordinance should be adopted with a firm date. The oz~dinance
could be amended later if the time could be moved forward. Bridge and Palombo
concurred, therefore, the motion was changed to insert the August 1, 1980, date.
Mr. Dougherty said he now had the wording for Section 3-B. He suggested that the
last sentence be revised to read "subdivisions for the sole purpose of separating
different zoning districts shall be exempt from the provisions of this ordinance.
Further subdivision of the residential portion of such subdivision shall be subject
to the provision of this ordinance."
Gene Hoggart, Lewis Homes, said there was not a third alternative filing period
mentioned in the agenda. Mr. Lam pointed out it had been inadvertently omitted.
Motion: Original motion was moved by Bridge, seconded by Palombo to approve Ordinance
No. 86 with the filing date of August 1, 1980, with the change in Section 3-B,
to set November 21 for second reading, and to waive entire reading. Motion carried
by the following vote: AYES: Schlosser, Mikels, Palombo, Bridge, and Frost.
NOES: None. ABSENT: None. Title and number read by Wasserman.

PLAN TO REGULATE NEW RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT IN THE CITY
OF RANCHO CUCAMONGA.
Mayor called a recess at 9:10 p.m. The meeting reconvened at 9:25 p.m. with all
Council members and staff members present.
Mayor said he had talked with the City Attorney during the recess and wanted to
request that item 6-B, "Request for an adjustment in the SB-201 fees for Central
School District," be pulled from the agenda so that the City Attorney would look
into it further. Dr. Norman Guith, Superintendent of the Central School District,
said he wished to address Council. If after hearing his position,~the Council still
wished to send the item back to the staff, that was okay. Council agreed to leave
the item on the agenda.

6. CITY MANAGER'S STAFF REPORTS.
6A. Consideration of a request to hold the November 21, 1979 meeting, a.t the
Neighborhood Center. Report by Bill Holley.
Mr. Holley presented a recommendation to change the meeting place for the November
21 meeting. Since the City Council would be conducting a hearing for the renaming
of streets in the southeast section of the City, he said that perhaps holding the
meeting in the Neighborhood Center would help as an incentive to get the local
--- residents out in the area. He also suggested that perhaps Council might like to
meet in various areas in the City upon occasion to help stimulate interest in the
Council meetings.
Motion: Moved by Mikels, seconded by Palombo to hold the November 21, 1979 City
Council meeting at the Neighborhood Center at 9791 Arrow Highway in Rancho Cucamonga
at the usual time of 7:00 p.m. Motion carried by following vote: AYES: Schlosser,
Mikels, Palombo, Bridge, and Frost. NOES: None. ABSENT: None.
6B. Request for an adjustment in the SB-201 fees for Central School District. Report (12)
by Jack Lam. (0401-12 FEES)
Mr. Lam turned the meeting over to Dr. Guith who made his presentation to Council.
His request was for $1665 in fees for the Central School District.
Ken Willis, Building Industry Association, read a letter stating the Building
Industry's position.
Charles Doskow, Attorney for the BIA, spoke in behalf of the Industry's position.
Gary Frye, William Lyon Company, said they did not expect to build all the projected
homes in 1980, but had not had the opportunity to talk with the School District
about this yet.
Since there was a difference in figures, Mayor suggested that staff should look into
this and have the builders and School District get together and come up with a firm
set of figures.
Motion: Moved by Mikels, seconded by Schlosser to hold the item to allow the builders
and School District time to work on an agreement, have the City Attorney review it,
then bring back to Council on November 21 with recommendations.
Dr. Guith said this was acceptable.
Motion was passed on the recommendation of the mayor.
6C. An appeal of Planning Commission action for a request of waiver of conditions (13)
of approval for the property located ~ 300' west of the Devore Freeway on the south
side of Foothill Boulevard known as Beaver Building Supply. Report by Barry Hogan.
(0701-06 APPEAL)
Mr. Hogan presented the background and showed slides of the area. The Planning
Commission had denied the applicant's request for a waiver and had directed him to
cease and desist his operation immediately. Mr. Longley, the applicant,had started
operation of the use by locating building materials and a construction shack on the
site without meeting any conditions of approval. The applicant was requesting to be
allowed to continue his operations while providing the improvements per an improve-
ment schedule which had been submitted to the Planning Commission.
Mr. Tracy Tibbals, attorney for the applicant, addressed the Council. He asked
that Council grant a 90-day extension or allow the project to go to another location.
Motion: Moved by Palombo, seconded by Schlosser to uphold the Planning Commission's
recommendation and to deny the request.
Council continued deliberations, then a call was made by Bridge for the question.
Motion to uphold the Planning Commission's decision to cease and desist was carried
by the following vote: AYES: Schlosser, Mikels, Palombo, Bridge, and Frost. NOES:
None. ABSENT: None.

from five firms that had submitted proposals for the work. A selections committee had
been formed consisting of two members of the Council, the chairman of the Planning
.__ Commission, a representative of the Chamber Industrial Committee, the County Flood
Control Engineer, and the City Engineer to interview representative~ from the five
firms. L.D. King had been selected by this committee.

Andrew Barmakian of Barmakian Wolff and Associates addressed the Council. He ex-
plained the situation they were in and the need to be exempt from the moratorium.
The City Attorney pointed out that the moratorium makes no provision for exceptions
for hardship or other reasons. In order to make such provisions, an ordinance
revision would be required. This would then make hardship exemptions universal to
all.

the following vote: AYES: Schlosser, Mikels, Palombo, Bridge, and Frost. NOES: None.
ABSENT: None.
6H. Services for Prosecution of City'violations. Report by Lauren Wasserman. (18)
(0602-01 CONTRACT)
The West End city managers had worked together with the County District Attorney's
office in working out an agreement with the District Attorney's office to handle
proseauti6~s~ At the time, both the City of Rancho Cucamonga and Ontario made no
commitment to participate in the program since both agencies are receiving an ade-
quate level of service. Rancho Cucamonga is using the law firm of William Cuthbert,
Inc. to handle its cases.
Mikels said he had talked with some local attorneys who would like to represent the
City and have our business. The City Attorney explained that the supreme court had
made a ruling that a city attorney may not perform prosecutorial functions on behalf
of a city if he, or a member or associate of his firm, represents defendants in
criminal cases. William Cuthbert has a corporate business, not a criminal one.
Motion: Moved by Palombo, seconded by Bridge to retain the services of William
Cuthbert, Inc. and to contact the County District Attorney's office to keep options
open for the future. Motion carried by the following vote: AYES: Schlosser, Mikels,
