uses, the demolition of an existing care, and the construction of a new
·

cafe. With the processing of the application, staff has identified three
areas of the proposed plans that do not meet the Foothill Boulevard Specific
Plan and Development Code requirements. These items are:
1. The Foothill Boulevard Specific Plan (FBSP) requires that a commercial
development maintain a 15-foot rear yard landscape setback from existing
or proposed residential uses. The proposal shows 0-foot setback because
the parking and drive aisles will extend to the rear property line.
2. The FBSP requires a 5-foot side yard landscape setback be maintained.
The applicant is proposing 0-foot setback because the drive aisle will
extend to the property line.
3. The Development Code requires 33 parking spaces be provided to meet the
demands of the commercial uses. The applicant is proposing only 29
spaces. Staff, however, is recommending a 75-foot stacking distance
from FOOthill Boulevard which will eliminate an additional 4 parking
stalls, leaving 25 stalls for the development.
In reviewing the site, staff has expressed concerns about unique site
constraints regarding access to not only this site but the entire block.
Based on the current driveway policy, only one access point (drive approach)
will be permitted along Foothill Boulevard between Archibald and Klusman
Avenues. The ultimate plan for the block would require the drive approach to
be located in line with House No. 3 (see Exhibit "C"). Staff has met with
Caltrans to review this preliminary drive location and has received favorable
comments. Because of the potentially historic nature of the homes and the
desire to retain them, staff has agreed to a drive approach location between
the cafe and House No. 1.
Because only one drive approach will be allowed to Foothill Boulevard for the
entire block, access to the other properties in the block will be obtained
from the rear of the properties. A drive aisle will be required extending
from the alley west of Archibald Avenue to Flusman Avenue (see Exhibit
"D"). This will allow the properties to develop or redevelop while
maintaining access to the public streets. The City will require offers of
dedication from the property owners as development occurs to ensure the
access is available. This being the first development/redevelopment
proposal, there have been no previous offers of dedication 9btained for the
block. As a result, the access to the parcels and to Foothill Boulevard must
be contained entirely On the subject site.
B. Landscape Setback (north property line): with ~he properties to the north
being residential units, the FBSP requires a 15-foot landscape setback be
maintained. The project could be designed to meet this requirement.
However, that would mean the elimination of all parking spaces for the
project. Additionally, placing the drive aisle 15 feet from the property
line would result in significant reconstruction of the drive aisle at such
time as the northerly properties develop and the drive aisle is relocated to
straddle the property lines as ultimately planned for the block.
pLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT
VAR 94-04 - CAMPOS
July 13, 1994

Even though the entire block is designated for con~nercial use, the
requirement to provide a 15-foot landscape setback was intended to provide a
buffer from proposed commercial uses and existing residential dwellings. In
this case, the residences to the north of the site are located at the
northern portion of their respective parce is, adjacent to Estacia Court ·
Five of the six lots abutting the site have detached garages at the southern
portion of their lots. With the closest residence approximately 35 feet from
the rear property line and garages separating the residences from the subject
site, staff believes that adequate buffering will be provided between the
uses.
C. Landscape Setback (east property line): The FBSP also requires a 5-foot side
yard landscape setback to be provided. At the east side of the site, the
applicant is proposing to extend the drive aisle to the property line. As
previously mentioned, the ultimate plan for the block will require the
extension of the drive aisle to the alley to the east which serves businesses
along Archibald Avenue. The applicant could provide the 5-foot setback and
eliminate the Variance request. Staff believes, however, that the pavement
should remain in order to reinforce to potential buyers of the site or
adjoining sites the fact that the drive aisle will be extended in the
future. Additionally, the pavement does provide for an easier turning
movement for cars parked in the easterly stall.
D. Parkin~ Variance: The applicant is proposing 29 parking stalls for the
project · As noted in the parking calculations, 33 parking spaces are
required based on the square footage of commercial use proposed.
Additionally, staff is recommending the elimination of the four parking
stalls proposed on the west side of the cafe to provide greater vehicle
stacking area. Because of the traffic volume and speed on FOOthill
Boulevard, staff is concerned that vehicles entering or exiting those stalls
will result in cars entering the site stacking onto FOOthill Boulevard until
the drive aisle is clear. The requirement to provide a 75-foot on-site
stacking distance is consistent with other projects located on major
arterials.
The Specialty Co~m~ercial designation is one of the more restrictive
conunercial designations in the FBSP. The designation was intended to provide
uses that are more "specialized" as the name would indicate. The commercial
uses permitted are generally less intensive than the other commercial
designations. As a result, the demand for parking may not be as great.
In addition to the type of uses allowed, the site layout is a contributing
factor in regulating the types of uses that might be established. The houses
proposed for conversion to commercial uses are 958, 1,065, 1,296, and 1,550
square feet in size. The relatively small size of the buildings will provide
opportunities for small tenants and will eliminate large tenants from
considering the site. Also, being designed as residences, the conversion of
the houses to commercial uses will provide retail space that is less
efficient than spaces designed for commercial uses. If a large tenant did
wish to expand or connect the buildings, an application would have to be
reviewed.

FACTS FOR FINDINGS: In order for the Planning Commission to approve the Variance
request, the Commission must be able to identify facts to support each of the
following findings:
1. That the strict or literal interpretation and enforcement of the specified
regulation would result in practical difficulty or unnecessary physical
hardship inconsistent with the objectives of the Development Code.
2. That there are exceptional or extraordinary circumstances or conditions
applicable to the property involved or to the intended use of the property
that do not apply to other properties in the same district.
3. That strict or liteYal interpretation and enforcement of the regulation would
deprive the applicant of privileges enjoyed by the owner of other properties
in the same district.
4. That the granting of the Variance will not constitute a grant of special
privilege inconsistent with the limitations on other properties in the same
district.
5. That granting of the Variance will not be detrimental to the public health,
safety, or welfare or materially injurious to properties or improvements in
the vicinity.
As outlined in the analysis section, staff believes that there are substantial
facts to support each and every finding required to be made by the Planning
Commission.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the Planning Commission approve Variance
94-04 through adoption of the attached Resolution.

VARIANCE FINDINGS
Pursuant a Variance request these findings are respect~ally presented for consideration by
the Planning Commission due to the following circumstances:
1. Strict interpretation and enforcement of the parking and front, rear and side setback
requirements are difficult to achieve due to the existing size, shape and location of the
existing houses which are to be rehabilitated.
2. The existing houses have been determined to have significant historical value to the
community. This extraordinary circumstance precludes these buildings from being
modified in order to comply with the requirements of parking and yard setbacks. These
conditions do not apply to other properties in the same zone.
3. An earlier design scheme presented by the owner called for the demolition of the old
houses, before their designation as of historical value. This scheme allowed the owner
with maximum economic utilization of the site according to location. It also allowed
compliance with applicable parking and yard setback requirements. The need to
preserve the houses and replace the old ca_re next door presented a new design
challenge in order to accommodate handicapped requirements, minimum number of
parking stalls and the necessary widening of Foothill Blvd.

4. Given the circumstances, it seems that the granting of this Variance may not constitute
a grant of special privileges inconsistent with the limitations on other properties in the
same zone.
5. When the houses are fully rehabilitated and the new cafe built, the entire development
will represent a real asset to this important arterial intersection. It is our belief that the
health, safety and welfare of the community and the public in general will not be
affected by the granting of this Variance.
Please note that this development will have its own turn lane for traffic entering from the
east-west direction thus allowing additional room for cars parking in front of the cafe and
also for cars entering the complex.

PARKING SPACES FROM 33 TO 25, TO REDUCE THE REQUIRED REAR
YARD SETBACK FROM 15 FEET TO 0 FEET, AND TO REDUCE THE
REQUIRED SIDE YARD SETBACK FROM 5 FEET TO 0 FEET IN
CONJUNCTION WITH THE DEVELOPMENT OF FIVE PARCELS IN THE
SPECIALTY COMMERCIAL DESIGNATION (SUBAREA 3) OF THE

AVENUES, AND M3%KING FINDINGS IN SUPPORT THEREOF - APN:
208-153-08, 09, 10, 11, AND 23.
A. Recitals.
1. Aria Campos has filed an application for the issuance of Variance
No. 94-04 as described in the title of this Resolution. Hereinafter in this
Resolution, the subject Variance request is referred to as "the application."
2. On the 13th day of July and continued to the 27th day of July
1994, the Planning Commission of the City of Rancho Cucamonga conducted a duly
noticed public hearing on the application and concluded said hearing on that
date.
3. All legal prerequisites prior to the adoption Of this Resolution
have occurred.
B. Resolution.
NOW, THEREFORE, it is hereby found, determined, and resolved by the
Planning Commission of the City of Rancho Cucamonga as follows:
1. This Commission hereby specifically finds that all of the facts
set forth in the Recitals, Part A, of this Resolution are true and correct.
2. Based upon substantial evidence presented to this Commission
during the above-referenced public hearing on July 13, and 27, 1994, including
written and oral staff reports, together with public testimony, this
Commission hereby specifically finds as follows:
a. The application applies to five parcels located on the north
side of Foothill Boulevard between Archibald and Klusman Avenues with a
combined street frontage of 300 feet and lot depth of 130 feet which are
presently improved with four single family residences, that are potential
local historic landmarks, and an abandoned cafe; and
b. The property to the north of the subject site is designated
for commercial uses and is developed with single family residences, the
property to the south is designated for commercial uses and is developed with
a fast food restaurant, the property to the east is designated for commercial
uses and is developed with an abandoned gas station, and the property to the
west is designated for commercial uses and is developed with a single family
residence; and
PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO.
VAR 94-04 - CAMPOS

c. The applicant proposes the demolition Of the existing cafe,
the construction of a new cafe, and the conversion of the existing single
family residences to commercial or office uses for a total of 6,236 square
feet of lease space; and
d. The development of the cafe and conversion of the residences
is consistent with the specialty Commercial designation of the Foothill
Boulevard specific Plan and the Commercial designation of the General Plan;
and
e. Access to Foothill Boulevard between Archibald and Klusman
Avenues will be limited to one drive approach consistent with the City's
General Plan Circulation Element and Foothill Boulevard Specific Plan; and
f. The ultimate plan to provide access to all sites within the
block bounded by Foothill Boulevard, Archibald Avenue, Klusman Avenue, and
Estacia Court, will require a 26-foot offer of dedication to be obtained
equally from the properties fronting Foothill Boulevard and the properties
fronting Bstacia Court (13 feet from each property). The Offer Of dedication
will extend from the west side of the parcels fronting Archibald Avenue to
Klusman Avenue; and
g. Because only the five parcels fronting Foothill Boulevard are
being developed in the block at this time, a 24-foot drive aisle must be
provided entirely on the site. Upon development of other parcels in the
block, the drive aisle may be shifted to the north to straddle the property
lines; and
h. The property to the north is designated as Specialty
Commercial. However, because the properties to the north are existing
residential uses, the Foothill Boulevard Specific Plan requires a 15-foot
landscape setback be provided; and
i. Because of the limited access to Foothill Boulevard for the
block and drive aisle requirement at the rear of the site, the requirement for
a 15-foot landscape setback would result in the elimination of all parking
spaces for the project; and
J. The residences north of the subject site are located at the
northern portion of their respective lots separated fro~ the proposed
commercial uses by detached garages, providing a buffer between the uses; and
k. The Foothill Boulevard Specific Plan requires a 5-foot side
yard setback be provided; however, the drive aisle will ultimately be extended
over the parcel to the east in the future to allow access to Foothill
Boulevard; and
1. In the formulation of the Foothill Boulevard Specific Plan,
the City recognized the potential historic and cultural value of the
residences provided within the block. The Foothill Boulevard Specific Plan
encourages the retention of historic and cultural resources where possible;
and
PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO.
VAR 94-04 - CAMPOS

m. The city has identified the area bounded by Foothill
Boulevard, Archibald Avenue, Klusman Avenue, and Estacia Court as a potential
historic overlay district in order to retain the historic and cultural
significance of the area; and
n. the application as proposed requires 33 parking spaces;
whereas, the site plans indicate 29 spaces are being provided. Staff has
recommended the elimination of 5 spaces to provide adequate vehicle stacking
for cars entering or exiting from Foothill Boulevard, a major arterial street
with current traffic volume of over 35,000 daily two-way trips and projected
traffic volume of over 40,000 daily two-way trips. Therefore, the total
number of parking spaces available for the proposed development would be
25 spaces; and
o. The applicant contemplates conversion of several small
residences to commercial/office uses. The relatively small size of these
structures will be suitable for specialty commercial or small office users
which have lower parking demand than the typical shopping center or office
complex.
3. Based upon the substantial evidence presented to this Commission
during the above-referenced public hearing and upon the specific findings of
facts set forth in paragraphs 1 and 2 above, this Commission hereby finds and
concludes as follows:
a. That strict or literal interpretation and enforcement of the
specified regulations would result in practical difficulty or unnecessary
physical hardship inconsistent with the objectives of the Development Code.
b. That there are exceptional or extraordinary circumstances or
conditions applicable to the property involved or to the intended use of the
property that do not apply generally to other properties in the same district.
c. That strict or literal interpretation and enforcement of the
specified regulation would deprive the applicant of privileges enjoyed by the
owners of other properties in the same district.
d. That the granting of the Variance will not constitute a grant
of special privilege inconsistent with the limitations on other properties
classified in the same district.
e. That the granting of the Variance will not be detrimental to
the public health, safety, or welfare or materially injurious to properties or
improvements in the vicinity.
4. Pursuant to the State CEQA Guidelines, it has been determined
that the proposed project does not have the potential for causing a
significant effect on the environment. The project has been determined to be
exempt from CEQA pursuant to Section 15061(b)(3). The Planning Commission,
having final approval Over this project, has reviewed and considered this
exemption prior to the approval of this project.

ANALYSIS:
A. Background: On January 18, ~989, the City Council approved plans, on
appeal, for a 4,416 square foot retail center with a gas station. The
retail building was situated at the corner of Foothill Boulevard and
Vineyard Avenue with a breezeway extending from the street corner back
into the site. The pump island canopy was located on the east side of the
site adjacent to Red Hill Liquor. The building was designed with board-
and-batten siding, river rock columns, exposed rafter tails, and a clay
tile roof. In conjunction with the Conditional Use Permit, the Council
approved a Variance request to reduce the parking setback along Foothill
Boulevard from %0 feet to 40 feet, along Vineyard Avenue from 50 feet to
43 feet, and along the rear property line from 15 feet to 14 feet.
On March 24, 1993, the Planning Commission considered a Pre-Application
request submitted by the applicant for a new gas station layout. The
Co~m%ission felt that the originally approved architecture (board-and-
batten) was more appropriate than the Spanish style proposed. The
Commission also felt the on-site circulation was poor and that
insufficient opportunities were available for pedestrian connections into
the site. A complete copy of the workshop minutes are attached as Exhibit
B. General: The applicant is now proposing a gas station and 2,017 square
foot mini-market on the site. The mini-market is located at the setback
line as preferred within the activity center. The building is designed
with bard-and-batten siding on the east and south wings with stucco on
the center tower element. Exposed rafter tails are used at the saves.
Raised river rock planters are provided along the street elevations,
adjacent to the building and parking areas. A tile roof is proposed for
the structure.
The pump island is located in the central portion of the site and is
aligned diagonally across the site in a northwest to southeast
direction. The canopy is 88 feet long and 20 feet, 6 inches tall and is
designed with a mansard tile roof and rock support columns. Twelve

PRE-APPLICATION REVIEW 93-01 FLORES - Review of a proposed gas station
and mini-mart and a future commercial building in the Community Commercial
designation (Subarea 2) of the Foothill Boulevard specific Plan, located
at the southeast corner of Foothill Boulevard and Vineyard Avenue -
APN: 208-192-06 and 07.
Brad Bullet, City Planner, gave a brief explanation of the Pre-Application
review process.
Horacio Santoe, representing the applicant, presented the site plan and
elevations to the Commissioners.
Scott Murphy, Associate Planner, explained staff ' s concerns with the
project. These item- included the concept of the "activity center," the
architecture of the facility, the on-site circulation, and the master plan for
the future pad.
Mr. Bullet suggested that the project might be phased with four gas pumps
being installed initially and the two additional pumps installed when Red Mill
Liquor is demolished.
Commissioner Tolstoy believed the proposed concept does not meet the intent of
the activity center envisioned for Foothill Boulevard. He noted the
previously approved concept provided opportunities for pedestrian activity.
Me felt the on-site circulation is poor for cars that may desire access to the
future pad or In-N-Out from Vineyard Avenue. Me stated that a "lube-n-tune"
facility would not be appropriate on the future pad--no bays should face
Foothill Boulevard. Me also commented the future pad seems to be under-
parked. He remarked that any design for the site should be sensitive to the
condominiums to the south. Me stated he would consider limiting the hours of
operation on the gas station.
Commissioner Melcher commented that the size of the site would require a
single, bold architectural statement to carry off the activity center concept
and the presented plan does not achieve this goal. He felt the previously
approved plans provided more appropriate architecture. Me thought the
architecture should blend with the activity center concept and the proposed
style is over-worked. He felt the on-site circulation is poor.
Commissioner Chitiea stated that she was on the original Design Review
Committee that reviewed the previous submittal and much time and effort wee
devoted to arrive at an activity center concept that worked. she did not feel
the plan presented .meets this intent. She thought the site is over-built.
She suggested the applicant consider using both pads for the gas station. She
observed the activity center has no pedestrian access from Foothill
Boulevard. She felt the architectural elements do not tie in with the
activity center concept.
Commissioner Vallette agreed with the Other Co~unissioners. She felt the
previous plans articulated the activity center much more clearly than the new
proposal. She thought thought there are many circulation problems with the
plan. She did, however, believe that this was a good location for a gas
station if the design could be revised to address the Commiseion's concerns.
Chairman McNiel felt that the use is overwhelming the site. He suggested the
applicant consider combining the two pads rather than trying to develop two
small pads. He remarked the design should encourage pedestrian access from
Foothill Boulevard. He stated he could not support the architecture proposed
and the previous plan was more acceptable for the activity center. Me
summarized the other comments of the Commission by stating that they felt the
site was a good location for a gas station if the design issues are
resolved. He suggested one key to the design may be reducing the number of
gas pumps.
Commission Melcher observed that when the pumps are at maximum use, the
parking spaces would be obstructed.
commissioner Chitlea agreed.
Commissioner Melcher conoluded by stating that Phase 2 does not work--the site
is too small bo cut it up even smaller.
Mr. Bullet indicated that he believed he had clear direction from the
Commission. He noted that staff could meet with the applicant to discuss the
issues in more detail and review design solutions and more attention should be
paid to the activity center corner.

ANALYSIS:
A. General: St- Clare of Assisi Episcopal Church is proposing to construct a
3,840 square foot modular building on the 5-acre site. The building has
138 fixed seats in the main sanctuary, one classroom, and two offices.
The temporary building will be used for church services on Sunday mornings
at 8:00 a.m. and 10:00 a.m. as well as other functions throughout the
week. The existing home will be utilized for office space, meetings, and
counseling sessions.
In addition to the modular building, the church is seeking approval of a
conceptual Master Plan for the overall development of the site. The
Master Plan includes two permanent buildings and an expanded parking lot
with access to Whitestone Place. The Master Plan also includes the
creation of one single family lot which will be used as a possible future
home for the Vicar. With the ultimate development of the church site, the
modular building will be phased out. Temporary modular structures are
typically approved for an initial period of two years. The approval may
be extended each year thereafter, upon written request, for up to five
years.
In addition to approval of this Conditional Use Permit, a Landmark
Alteration Permit will be required, since the site on which the Mueller
house is located is being altered. The house, however, is not being
modified in any way. Review of the Landmark Alteration Permit has been
scheduled for the August 10, 1994, Historic Preservation Comission
meeting.
B. Design Review Comittee: The Design Review Comittee (McNiel, Melcher,
Coleman) reviewed the project on June 14, 1994, and recomended approval
with the following conditions:
1. The grove effect should be maintained and regenerated on the site.
Some type of landscaping should be located between East Avenue and
the interim parking lot.

2. Dense screen planting should be provided along the south project
boundary adjacent to the gravel parking lot in order to sEreen the
parking lot and car headlights from existing single family houses to
the south.
3. The Magnolia grandiflora trees along East Avenue have been determined
to be historic. If trees are damaged during any required widening of
East Avenue, they shall be replaced on a one-for-one basis with the
largest grown nursery stock available. The location of the Magnolias
should be included on the final landscape plan which will be reviewed
and approved by the City Planner.
4. Gates between the parking area and the emergency secondary access
(northerly gravel drive) should be of decorative wrought iron.
5. The Master Plan should be revised to show hardscape and planter areas
and to illustrate how pedestrian access between buildings will be
accommodated. The layout and circulation for the Master Plan is
acceptable. The building footprints noted are conceptual only.
6. The emergency secondary access (northerly gravel drive) along East
Avenue is disruptive to the historical context of the site and should
be deleted if acceptable to the Foothill Fire District (see
Exhibit "C").
C. Technical Review Committee: The Technical Review Committee reviewed the
project on June 15, 1994, and approved it subject to the conditions noted
in the Resolution of Approval. The Foothill Fire District indicated that
the secondary access could be deleted if an approved turn-around is
provided.
D. Grading Committee: The Grading Committee reviewed the project on June 14,
1994, and recommended approval. Although a portion of the citrus grove
will be removed, said removal is exempt under the City's Tree Preservation
Ordinance.
E. Environmental Assessment: Part I of the Initial Study has been completed
by the applicant. Staff has completed Part II of the Environmental
Checklist and has found no significant impacts on the environment as a
result of this project. A detailed analysis of the potential impact of
the proposed Route 30 Freeway upon the project is addressed in the
Route 30 Environmental Impact Report on file in the Planning Division. If
the Planning Commission concurs with these findings, then issuance of a
Negative Declaration would be appropriate.
FACTS FOR FINDINGS: The project is consistent with the General Plan,
Development Code, and Etiwanda Specific Plan. The project will not be
detrimental to adjacent properties or cause significant adverse environmental
impacts. In addition, the proposed use and site plan, together with the
recommended conditions of approval, are in compliance with all applicable
provisions of the Development Code and City standards.

Re: APN: 207-571-75
Gentlemen:
I am writing in concern of the request to issue an entertainment
permit to the Final Score restaurant and bar. We live in the
Rancho Villas condominiums just to the south of the bar. Our rear
bedroom windows look out onto the bar's property. My neighbors to
the east and west also have their rear bedroom windows facing the
bar. Since the rear bedrooms are the smaller bedrooms, they are
most often occupied by children.
We have lived in this condominium for about five years. During
that time we have been awakened at two a.m. by the sound of
motorcycles (most often choppers), fights and foul language, and
in one instance gunfire. During that incident, a bullet penetrated
my neighbor's window and wedged in the bedroom wall. There were
young children sleeping in the bedroom.
I am aware that the current owners of the Final Score bar have made
changes to discourage the biker crowd, but I am fearful that if the
entertainment permit to allow live bands, disc jockey, and dancing
is approved, not only will the noise of the music be annoying, but
it would lead to parking lot incidences that would not only disturb
the young residents who live nearby, but would corrupt their morals
and threaten their safety. I am therefore expressing my opposition
to approval of the above referenced request and encourage the
members of the planning commision to do the same.
Sincerely,

Dear Brad: up~d, CaUforn~
(909) 483-5060
This correspondence is in reference to Gary Rausa, owner of Final Score Sports
Bar in Rancho Cucamonga.
You should know the Final Score recently participated in the "Taste of the Inland
Empire" on May l, 1994 in Ontario.
I tell you this due to the fact that during this event the Final Score donated the
proceeds from the sales of their concessions that day to the Boys & Girls Clubs of
the Inland Empire Back-A-Youth program in Rancho Cucamonga, Ontario, and
Upland.
Boys & Girls Clubs of the Inland Empire serves over 1,300 youth club members 5-
18 years of age in the Inland Valley Communities.
In addition the Final Score will be contributing product (Gourmet Pizzas and Pasta
to the forthcoming "Evening at the Plaza" special event fund raiser to be held at
the Montelair Plaza on August 21, 1994.
All proceeds will benefit Boys & Girls Clubs of the Inland Empire, Chaffey
College Foundation, Wignail Museum and Gallery, and Montelair Foundation for
History and Art.
Gary Rausa owner of Final Score has demonstrated that youth and youth programs
and services in the Inland Valley; specifically Rancho Cucamonga should and
must be a "Top Priority!
Sincerely, "-

DATE: July 27, 1994
TO: Chairman and Members of the Planning Conunission
FROM: Brad Buller, City Planner
BY: Nancy Fong, AICP, Senior Planner
SUBJECT: ENTERTAINMENT PERMIT 93-03 FINAL SCORE A request to conduct
entertainment consisting of live bands, disc jockey, and dancing in
conjunction with a restaurant and bar, in the Con~unity Con~nercial
District within Subarea 1 of the Foothill Boulevard Specific Plan,
located at 8411 Foothill Boulevard - APN: 207-571-75.
PROJECT AND SITE DESCRIPTION:
A. Site Characteristics: The site is located at the junction of Foothill
Boulevard and San Bernardino Road. It contains the Final Score building,
several structures such as carports and garages, and an office for an auto
repair shop. The existing improvements are non-conforming because the
ultimate public improvements are missing and the on-site improvements,
setbacks, percentage of on-site landscaping, and parking are not up to
current standards.
B. Surrounding Land Use: West of the site is vacant and zoned for commercial
uses. North of the site is the Sycamore Inn and zoned for commercial
uses. South of the site is a railroad track which is no longer in use.
Beyond the south side of the tracks are townhouses and single family
homes.
C. Proposed Entertainment: The applicant proposes to offer entertainment
along with the serving of food and drinks. The proposed entertainment
consists of live bands, disc jockeys, and dancing. It will be offered
four nights a week from Thursday through Sunday, between the hours of
8 p.m. and 12 midnight. The area for dancing is 110 square feet.
According to the applicant, rhythm and blues, jazz, and rock and roll are
the types of music being offered.

EP 93-03 - FINAL SCORE

ANALYSIS:
A. General: According to the FOothill Boulevard Specific Plan, a Conditional
Use Permit (CUP) is required for the operation of a bar. Final Score
(formerly The Cub) does not have a CUP because the business was
established prior to the City's incorporation and the adoption of the
Foothill Boulevard Specific Plan. Since the applicant would like to
expand the building and add a patio area for outdoor seating, besides
offering entertainment, he has submitted a Conditional Use permit as
well. Because the application has been deemed incomplete, the applicant
has requested that the Entertainment Permit be forwarded to the Con~nission
for review first. He stated that he intends to pursue the CUP and will
submit revised d~velopment plans in the near future.
B. Compatibilit~ Of Use: In reviewing this application, the primary issue
identified by staff is the compatibility of the proposed entertainment
with the surrounding land uses. South of the site, beyond the abandoned
railroad line, is all residential uses including single family and
townhouses. The proposed entertainment could negatively impact these
residents. Loud music and noise from within the building and loitering
activities in the parking lot, in combination with the likely late evening
and early morning hours of a night club business, will impact these
residents.
Possible mitigations to the impacts noted above include: improving the
sound attenuation of the building, adding inside and outside security
personnel, and limiting the hours of operation. The effectiveness of
these mitigations is largely dependent on the property and business
management. Building improvements for additional sound attenuation could
be negated by an open door or window. The City's Code Enforcement
personnel could monitor this to ensure compliance and failure to comply
would be cause for revocation of the entertainment permit.
C. Neighborhood Concerns: In May of 1993, the City received a letter
collectively signed by several homeowners of the townhouse complex
complaining abut the loud music coming from the Final Score on the
weekends. In addition, the City continued to receive complaints whenever
entertainment was conducted. AS a result of Code Enforcement action, the
owner of the Final Score agreed to cease offering entertainment until an
Entertainment Permit is approved by the City. Since July of 1993, neither
the City nor the Police Department have received any more complaints.
After the mailing of the public hearing notices for the application, staff
received several letters, as well as a petition from some of the residents
at the southerly townhouse complex, objecting to the Entertainment
Permit. Concerns raised relate to their experience with the previous
entertainment including: loud music, loud noises, and other disturbances
from activities in the parking lot in the late evening hours (see attached
letters and petition, Exhibit "D"). They felt that the granting of the
Entertainment Permit would result in having more of the same nuisance
problems.
PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT
EP 93-03 - FINAL SCORE
July 27, 1994
Page 3
D. Public Safety Issues: Another concern with the entertainment use is the
potential for an increase in the need for police and fire resources. The
Fire Department stated that they have not responded to any calls for
service at the business. Based on the floor plan, the Fire Department
established the maximum number of occupants allowed in the bar,
restaurant, and dance area to be 44 and the area designed for pool tables
to be 12. If the number of occupants exceeds the above maximum, then the
applicant shall obtain a separate permit and approval from the Fire
Department.
Records from the Police Department indicate that they have responded a
total of four times to this location from January of this year to the
present. The Police reports filed range from battery to robbery to public
drunkenness. During this period of time, the Final Score did not have
live entertainment.
E. Parking and Other Site Improvements: Based on the floor area of the Final
Score and the number of bays for the auto repair shop, the site exceeds
the minimum number of required parking spaces (see Parking Calculations
section of this report). However, a field inspection of the site
indicated that the parking lot is in need of maintenance, such as
restriping the parking spaces, a new slurry seal coat, parking lot lights
for safety and security, etc. Staff also found two trash bins within the
parking lot which are unscreened. These recommended improvements have
been placed as conditions of approval in the attached Resolution.
F. Conclusion and Mitigation Measures: Based On the above analysis, staff
believes that there are mitigation measures that could minimize and
alleviate the potential nuisance problems to an acceptable level. These
mitigation measures are listed as conditions of approval in the attached
Resolution. To name a few, some of the mitigation measures are: limiting
the hours of entertainment to 12 midnight for Thursday through Saturday;
providing interior sound attenuation; prohibiting patrons from parking in
spaces closest to the residences during the evening hours; providing
security personnel in the parking lot for nights that they have
entertainment; and establishing a maximum occupancy of 44 persons in the
restaurant, bar, and dancing areas and 12 persons for the pool table
area.
FACTS FOR FINDINGS: The Co~nission must make all of the following findings in
order to approve this application:
A. That the conduct of the establishment or the granting of the application
would not be contrary to the public health, safety, morals, or welfare.
B. That the premises or establishment is not likely to be operated in an
illegal, improper, or disorderly manner.
PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT
EP 93-03 - FINAL SCORE
July 27, 1994
Page 4
C. That the applicant, or any person associated with him as principal or
partner or in a position or capacity involving partial or total control
over the conduct of the business for which such permit is sought to be
issued, has not been convicted in any court of competent jurisdiction of
any offense involving the presentation, exhibition, or performance of any
obscene show of any kind or of a felony or of any crime involving moral
turpitude or has not had any approval, permit, or license issued in
conjunction with the sale of alcohol or the provisions of entertainment
revoked within the preceding five years.
D. That the granting of the application would not create a public nuisance.
E. That the normal operation of the premises would not interfere with the
peace and quiet of any surrounding residential neighborhood.
F. That the applicant has not made any false, misleading, or fraudulent
statement of material fact in the required application.
CORRESPONDENCE: This item has been advertised as a public hearing in the
Inland Valley Daily Bulletin newspaper, the property has been posted, and
notices were sent to the adjacent property owners within 300 feet of the
project.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff reco~nends that the Planning Co~nission conduct a
hearing to receive public testimony. If the Co~nission concurs with staff's
analysis and findings, including the mitigation measures, then approval
Entertainment Permit 93-03 through adoption of the attached Resolution would
be in order.

P. O. Box 807
Rancho Cucamonga, CA 91729 July 18, 1994
This letter is in follow up to my telephone conversation with
Nancy Fong on this date reporting a harassment telephone call
made to me from Garry Rausa, an owner of the Final Score bar
located at 8411 Foothill Blvd., Rancho Cucamonga, CA. As one
of the many concerned homeowners of Rancho Villas located to the
south of this bar, I had recently distributed, to the home owners
in Rancho Villas, a copy of the Notice of Public Hearing dated
July 6, 1994 from the Planning Commission as I was told that it
had only been mailed to residents living within 300 feet of the
Final Score. My neighbors living on Cedarwood Lane, my husband,
and I felt it was our duty to alert the other residents of our
complex of the fact that the Final Score was applying for an
Entertainment Permit 93-03. We had been greatly disturbed last
year when this bar had live entertainment, without a permit, and
we did not want to have to put up with this nuisance again. I,
therefore, with the approval of Nancy Fong and the agreement of
my neighbors distributed a copy of the Notice of Public Hearing
along with a letter of explanation from myself. As I left these
letters with the homeowners in our complex I also asked them to
sign a petition against the owners of the Final Score being grant-
ed an Entertainment Permit. If no one was home I taped these two
letters to the windows at their entrances.
Sunday, July 18, 1994, approximately 3:15 p.m. I received a phone
call from Garry Rausa of Final Score. He was very intimidating
with his tone of voice, four letter word language, and his message
to me. He told me that a Rancho Villas homeowner, who is a cus-
tomer of the bar, gave him the letter I had left on his property.
He told me that I had no business leaving such a letter telling
people that he has a bad place, if I could leave a letter at the
doors, then so could he and he just might do that. He went on and
on without my being able to get hardly a word in. He said that he
has a lawyer and I should get my lawyer and we could get together
and fight it out. He said he is going to show up at the public
hearing with 200 patrons of his bar to stand up for him and that
I had better watch out. Believe me by the time I could get through
to tell him that I did not care to listen to him and tell him I was
hanging up, I was extremely nervous and upset. Our bedroom faces
the rear of the Final Score and I envisioned having rocks thrown at
our house during the night as Garry Rausa was that intimitating
to me.
I am waiting for the police to come to my home today to make out
a report on this harassment matter.

Copies Letter to homeowners from Shirley Kovar, July 13, 1994.
Enclosed: Notice of Public Hearing, Rancho Cucamonga Planning Commission,
July 6, 1994.
The attached letter from the Bancho Cucamonga Planning Commission,
dated 3uly E, 1994, :egarding the Final Score bar filing for a
live entertainment license is being distributed, ~y me, wit~ the
permission of the Bro~ect Planning Coordinator, Nancy Fong. This
~ette~ was mailed to the homeo~ns~s ~ithin a 300 foot ~adius of the
~ina~ Sco~e bar located at 8411 Foothill Bird., ~ancho Cucamonga,
Some of you wiZ~ remember that a petition ~ent acound on Nay 2l, ~993
due to the fact that this ba~ was having live music
which was very disturbing to the homeowners of Rancho Villas,
especially those living closest to the bar. It was learned that
~he owners of this bar ~ere providing live entertainment w~thout a
proper ente:tainment permit f~om the city. ~t that time the City
Code ~nfo~cement Department was very cooperative, and succeeded in
stopping the live entertainment at the ~inal Score bar.
Now it is time Eor us al~ to ralZy round the cause again. Please
to sign it, should I miss you at o o
something on your own -- call the PZanninq ~ivision at 909-989-186Z,
AN~/Oe write a ~etter to the ~lanning Division with your
I~POBT~NT: ATTEND THE PUBLIC HEARING A~ THE CIVIC CEN~R
27, 1994 7:00 P.~.
Zf we are to succeed in having the live entertainment permit
down by the city, we must show our disapproval. Nancy ~ong told me
Lhat the more imput she receives ~rom the homeowners, the better our
cause will be served. You can take all three steps:
CALL, WRITE, ATTEND THE PUBLIC HEARING.
Keep in mind, that having this type of bar so close to our complex
could very well lower the value of our properties.

Dear Sirs:
Regarding Entertainment Permit 93-03 for the Final Score, I want you to know why I am
unconditionally opposed to the permit's approval. That is, unless they agree to build a new
soundproof structure and agree to keep the windows and doors closed when they have
loud music. I doubt that they would agree to such an investment, as they have so far
demonstrated no concern for the surrounding community.
In fact, Gary Rausa and his employees have sported an attitude ranging from "unwilling to
' cooperate" to "utterly rude". I live directly behind his bar, within 150 feet by my estimation,
and the kinds of disturbances I have experienced in the past during live band performances
are as follows: loud thumping music, noisy patrons talking and yelling, noisy patrons brawling;
helicopters overhead, thundering motorcycles staring and rewing up, thundering motorcycles
racing off up and down Route 66, bottles breaking while being dumped into dumpster in back
of the bar, and bottles breaking while being thrown, presumably, by patrons. Th'is went on
routinely between the hours of 9:00 p.m. and 3:00 a.m., mostly on weekends. I have personally
called the bar many times, asking them to please keep the volume down so I could get to sleep,
with no results. I truly believe they could care less if I slept. That's when I began calling the
Sherrif's Department. They at least had a sympathetic ear, although they got little more
cooperation from the bar than I did.
I feel like this is all a waste of taxpayers' money, since this business has operated with so little
concern for its neighbors, has cooperated with the Police only to the minimumextent required.
And they did this when they didn't even have a license for a live band! Let's face the fact that
these people are lawbreakers and, in my opinion, shouldn't even have a business license, much
less a license to operate a live band. Their kind of activity may have been appropriate decades
ago when there were few inhabitants in the Bear Gulch area. But today they are surrounded by
people who want to sleep at night; the point being that they don't Seem to care.
I feel certain that if you give them this license, they will be depriving all of us of our.sleep, and
we, in turn, will be calling the Police out here eve/y weekend.
Sincerely, . . -'

To Whom It May Concern:
SUBJECT: Entertainment Permit 93-03-Final Score
We are homeowners in Rancho Villas which is the housing complex directly behind
the Final Score Bar. We strongly urge you not to grant an entertainment permit to the
above referenced establishment. Loud music, bar fights and parrying in the parking lot
will undoubtably disrupt our peaceful complex. If this permit is granted, it will also
lower our property values considerably.
Please vote NO on July 27!

Thank you for your Notice of Public Hearing concerning the
request for an Entertainment Permit 93-03 by the establishment
known as the Final Score, 8411 Foothill Blvd., Rancho Cucamonga.
We live almost directly behind the Final Score and have exper-
ienced what has occurred with live entertainment there last year.
For many reasons we object to this bar having a permit for live
entertainment and dancing, etc.
Vibrations from the live music seemed to have just shaken our walls.
The volamn of the music was in excess to the point of disturbing
our sleep.
Having live entertainment seems to draw a "rough" type of patron.
There have been fights in the parking lot and on top of the
railroad tracks.
Loud talking and yelling as patrons are leaving the bar.
Persons have been seen on top of the raised railroad tracks
smoking what appeared to be a "joint", and then return to the bar.
Tracks lay between the bar and a row of homeowners.
The noise of motorcycles being revved up is very disturbing.
Even the noise of the empty liquor bottles being dumped into
the dumpster located at the rear of the bar's property (close
to our home) can be very disturbing and irritating.
All these complaints have the potential for increasing with addi-
tional patrons being drawn to the bar because of live entertainment.
The disturbances mentioned accelerate as the closing hour for the
bar approaches, being the early morning hours when we are trying
to sleep.
The fact that last year the Final Score did have live entertainment
WITHOUT A PERMIT, we feel, should be held against them. The owners
do not seem to have good characters.
The persons operating this bar are not very considerate of their
neighbors. They had been called with complaints of the recorded
music being too loud and were asked to turn the volumn down and
close the back door to the bar. Their responses were always very
rude and sometimes the music then would be turned up even louder.
l = E g t D /I
Planning Division
City Of Rancho Cucamonga July 15, 1994
One night last year Gary Rausa was on top of the railroad tracks
and saw us in Our back yard. He asked if the volumn of live
music was too loud. We replied that it was and he said that he
would take care of it, but it instead got even louder.
We do not know if Final Score has a permit, or needs one, for
what is going on there now. We are disturbed now by afternoon
affairs. Beginning this past Easter Sunday, and several week
ends since, there have been some sort of activities being held
outside to the east of their building. From what we heard it
seemed to be contests with games and prizes being awarded. On
driving by on Foothill Blvd. we could see that drinks and food
were being served outside. We thought we would keep an eye on
future activities of this sort and see what happened before
complaining to the City.
We sincerely hope that you will HEAR THE VOICE OF THE PEOPLE
and deny the Final Score's request for an Entertainment Permit
93-03 or any other permit for entertainment, not just because
the bar is a nuisance in so many ways to its neighbors in Rancho
Villas, our complex, but also due to the fact that our property
value would be depreciated with a live entertainment establish-
ment so close to our homes.
This request by the Final Score should be denied in the best
interest of the homeowners, community and the City.

both Nancy Fong and Richard Alcorn via the telephone, voicing
our objections to granting this permit.

Dear Ms. Fong:
I am writing to express a strong objection to the
granting of Entertainment Permit 93-03 to the Final Score
Sports Bar. As a homeowner living in close proximity
to this establishment, live entertainment would be
especially disturbing. In addition, my neighbors and I
are concerned that having a bar such as this in our
neighborhood will significantly lower the value of our
properties. I am a voting member of this community and
would appreciate your consideration in this matter.
Sincerely yours,

TO: Chairman and Members of the Planning Commission .
FROM: Brad Buller, City Planner
BY: Dan Coleman, Principal Planner
SUBJECT: SIGN ORDINANCE AMENDMENT 94-01 - CITY OF RANCHO CUCAMONGA -
Consideration of various amendments to the Sign Ordinance.
ABSTRACT: This report presents an ordinance for your consideration based upon
the discussion at the workshop on June 22, 1994.
ANALYSIS: At the June 22 workshop, the Comission reached a consensus on the
proposed changes to the sign regulations for shopping centers (see Exhibit
"A")- The workshop discussion included representatives from various shopping
centers within the co~mlunity. Staff was directed to return with an ordinance
for the Planning Commission to review. If approved, the ordinance will be
sent to the City Council for final adoption.
A. Monument SiFns: Three options were presented to the Commission. The
majority of the Commission indicated a preference for allowing up to two
monument signs per street frontage as opposed to allowing larger monument
signs. The Commission decided that either doubling the number of monument
signs to two per street frontage or doubling the size to 48 square feet
was acceptable. The "either/or" approach recognizes the additional
signage needs as projects increase in size, retains flexibility for the
center owner, and is consistent with the City's goal to foster attractive
sign solutions. In addition, the Commission agreed that the larger
monument signs would be inappropriate for smaller commercial centers which
generally do not have major anchor stores and have fewer tenants.
Finally, the CoMmission, mindful of the City Council's original charge to
the Comission to address the needs of small businesses, indicated that
sufficient area must be reserved on monument signs for tenants other than
the major anchors.
Staff believes that the length of street frontage is the most practical
criteria for allowing larger monument signs. A survey was conducted of
all shopping centers, except for regional centers, within the City of
Rancho Cucamonga (see Exhibit "D"). In the '33 centers surveyed, the
average length of street frontage was 573 feet. All neighborhood shopping
centers have one or more street frontages exceeding 500 feet. Only the
strip coMmercial centers have less than 500 feet of frontage. The strip
centers have fewer tenants and generally do not have a major anchor
store. Therefore, staff would recoMmend that 48 square foot monument
signs be allowed for centers with at least 500 feet of street frontage.

For your information, staff has also compiled the monument sign requlation
survey data provided by Lewis Homes Management Corporation and Diversified
Properties Company (see Exhibit "C"). The data indicates that sign
regulations vary considerably from city to city. Monument sign height
varied from 6 feet to 45 feet. The maximum sign area ranged from 24
square feet up to 150 square feet in the cities surveyed.
B. Temporary Signs: The Commission approved the proposed changes to the
regulations concerning the use of temporary signs as outlined in the June
22, 1994, staff report (see Exhibit "B").
P~ECOMMENDATION: St~ff recommends that the Commission recommend approval to
the City Council through adoption of the attached Resolution.

Resolution of Approval
Draft Ordinance
Me. Dempsey oppceed the reco~unendation that major anchors be limited to
50 percent of the sign area. She preferred Options 1 and 2 with an either/or
possibility.
Commissioner McNiel felt that Option 2 should not be allowed for all shopping
centers. He felt that smaller centers do not need a 48 square foot sign. He
asked that criteria be developed for when Option 2 can be used.
Commissioner Tolstoy preferred Option 1, but said he would entertain Option 2
if criteria were developed as suggested by Commissioner McNiel.
Chairman Barker asked the property owner representatives to submit reasonable
criteria for application of Option 2. In addition, he asked that the criteria
address location of monument signs to protect views into the shopping
cen}ers. He requested that the proposed 300-foot spacing be reviewed for
existing shopping centers to see if it is reasonable.
Ms. Dempsey requested that no limit on the percentage of sign area devoted to
major anchors be included in the ordinance. She felt that should be
determined through review of Uniform sign Programs. She commented that such a
limitation would not allow for creativity.
Mr. Coleman indicated that the 50 percent limit on majors was intended to
preserve adequate sign space for smaller tenants in response to the direction
given by City Council. He noted that absent such a limit, majors could use
the entire sign area.
Commissioner Melcher supported the 50 percent limit on major anchors.
Chairman Barker commented that the 50 percent limit seemed to address the
needs of the small businesses.
Commissioner Melcher suggested that the City require the major anchor tenants
to be identified on the sign and let the property owner determine what other
tenants should have street signage.
Commissioner Tolstoy indicated that staff should prepare language for the
Commission to consider.
Chairman Barker commented that the 50 percent limit would protect property
owners from being pressured by major anchors. He requested that staff
investigate alternative language that would allow sufficient area for small
tenants.
It was the consensus of the Commission that staff provide an ordinance
reflecting the Commission's direction for consideration on July 27, 1994.

D,SCUSSION PURPOSES ONlY
continue discussions with the Ccmmission regarding ether sign issues that
would include wall signs. She commented cn ~he importance of signs as a
marketing tool for small businesses.
Dave Newsome, Lewis Homes Management Corp., indicated that the retail trade
has undergone major changes in the last decade. He stated that the trend
today is for big box discount retailers in shopping centers. He felt that
future shopping centers will feature fewer small tenants.
Commissioner McNiel felt that Option 1 was acceptable with the 6-foot height
limit.
Commissioner Lumpp asked what would prevent tenants from violating the
Ordinance under the either/or option.
Ms. 'Dempsey stated that Lewis Homes Management Corp. would not automatically
demolish existing monument signs in their shopping centers to take advantage
of additional sign Opportunities under the proposed Ordinance. She said that
if more than two monument signs are allowed per street frontage, then they may
construct a second monument to provide more tenants the opportunity for
identification at the street.
Mr. Newsome commented that property owners could include a copy of the
approved Uniform Sign Program for the shopping center in their leases as a
means of notifying the tenants of their sign restrictions.
Chairman Barker expressed his opposition to 8-foot high monument signs because
they are not pedestrian in scale.
Commissioner Melther expressed concerns with allowing two monument signs per
street.
Ms. Dempsey felt that the minimum 300-foOt spacing proposed by staff provides
adequate separation between signs.
Mr. Bullet indicated that staff simply needs Commission direction in order to
prepare an ordinance for consideration.
Chairman Barker liked Options 1 and 2 with an either/or possibility. He
indicated that he prefers the horizontal sign format.
commissioner Melcher felt that Option 1 is the best because it allows more
tenants to be identified at the street. He thought an 8-foot height is too
much for a 24 square foot monument sign. He said he would support an
either/or possibility with Options 1 and 2.
Chairman Barker noted that the City requires undulating berm~ to screen
parking areas which results in a greater apparent sign height.
Commissioner Lumpp stated a preference for Option 1; howeveT, he felt that
more signs will not increase business for tenants.

7C.q DISCUSSION PURPOSES ONLY
There was consensus that the proposed changes were acceptable.
Monument Siqns:
Mary Rohrer, Diversified Properties Co., stated that the Sign Task Force had
discussed the possibility of allowing property owners to choose either Option
1 Or Option 2 presented in the staff report. She felt that property owners
need such flexibility to respond to tenant needs and unusual site constraints.
Chairman Barker agreed that such flexibility may be needed based upon the
layout of the project.
Ms. Dempsey indicated that Lewis and Diversified had surveyed Other cities
regarding monument sign regulations and determined that, even with the
proposed changes, Rancho Cucamonga represents the more conservative approach
to ~igns.
Ms. Rohrer agreed and listed the following survey results.
Montclair 60 sq. ft. (10 ft. high x 6 ft. wide)
Ontario 100 sq. ft. (20 ft. high)
Upland - one 100 sq. ft. (16 ft. high) or two 60 sq. ft. (8 ft. high)
Fontaria 30 sq. ft. (6 ft. high) Or pylon with no limit
Fountain valley 50 sq. ft. (8 ft. high)
Irvine - 50 sq. ft. (6 ft. high)
Mission viejo - 36 sq. ft. (6 ft. high)
Costa Mesa - 125 sq. ft. (25 ft. high)
Dana Point - 100 sq. ft. (20 ft. high)
Commissioner McNiel said the survey cities reflect the trend to have bigger
signs. He felt that what other cities do should not be the basis for what
Rancho Cucamonga does, unless we want our community to become commonplace.
Ms. Dempsey thought that Option 1 should allow 8-foot high signs instead of
the proposed maximum of 6 feet. She noted that the City's current sign
regulations allow 8-foot high monument signs.
Mr. Coleman indicated that the lower height was recommended to discourage
24 square foot monument signs that are 8 feet high and only 3 feet wide, which
would appear disproportionate.
Ms. Rohrer also felt that Option 1 should be increased to 8 fee~ high in order
to allow space for architectural embellishments.
Brad Bullet, City Planner, pointed to Exhibit "D-l," which illustrates how a
24 square foot monument sign could be horizontally oriented and still have
2 feet for architectural features.
Commissioner Melcher asked if the Sign Task Force discussed wall signs.
Ms. Dempsey replied that the Task Force had discussed wall sfgns but focused
on signs at the street as directed by City Council. She indicated a desire to

DISCUSSION PURPOSES ONLY
Commissioner McNiel supported the concept. He noted than the billlard club
adjacent to the theatres in Upland ca~ers to a younger group and sometimes
causes problems for theatre patrons. He thought this use would be similar to
the club which had recently been approved for the Masi Center.
Motion: Moved by Lumpp, seconded by McNiel, to direct to the applicant to
apply for a Foothill Boulevard Specific Plan amendment to add Commercial
Recreation as a conditional use in the Speciatity Commercial District. Motion
carried by the following vote:
AYES: COMMISSIONERS: BARKER, LUMPP, MCNIEL, MELCHER, TOLSTOY

The Planning Commission moved to the DeAnza Room for the balance of the
meeting.
H. SIGN ORDINANCE AMENDMENT 94-01 - CITY OF RANCHO CUCAMONGA - Consideration
of various amendments to the Sign Ordinance.
Dan Coleman, Principal Planner, presented the staff report, highlighting the
work of the Sign Task Force and the various options available to the
Commission.
Chairman McNiel praised the Sign Task Force's participation and their
efforts. He expressed his opinion that every time the Sign Ordinance has been
reviewed it has been weakened; however, he felt that most of what the Sign
Task Force had discussed was acceptable.
Chairman Barker suggested the Commission discuss the items individually and
reach consensus before moving on to the next type of signs.
Grand Opening Signs:
Commissioner Melcher felt such signs should be required to include the opening
date for the business.
Paula Dempsey, Chamber of Commerce and Lewis Homes Management Corporation,
indicated that tenants commonly request a "Coming Soon" banner.
There was a general consensus that the proposed changes were acceptable
without a specific opening date display requirement.
Temporary Advertising Signs:
Ms. Dempsey felt the proposed changes were positive because business owners
would have greater flexibility. She indicated that the change~ are consistent
with what her tenants typically ask for.

STAFF REPORT
DATE: June 22, 1994
TO: Chairman and Members of the Planning Commission
FROM: Brad Bu[ler, City Planner
BY: Dan Coleman, Principal Planner
SUBJECT: SIGN ORDINANCE AMENDMENT 94-01 CITY OF RANCHO CUCAMONGA
Consideration of various amendments to the Sign Ordinance.
BACKGROUND: On October 20, 1993, the City Council directed staff to work with
the Planning Commission and small business owners on temporary sign issues
(see Exhibit "A"). This action was taken in response to concerns raised by
Mr. Glenn Crown, Owner Of Offroad Chicken, regarding signs within the Alta
Loma Plaza shopping center on the southeast corner of 19th and Carnelian
Streets.
On October 28, 1993, Planning Commissioner Peter Tolstoy, Planning Division
staff, and Chamber of Cor~nerce representatives held a meeting with the tenants
of the Alta Loma Plaza. The meeting was held at 0ffroad Chicken and attended
by Mr. Crown, Mr. Sig Sliwoski (shopping center owner), and two tenants within
the center.
SIGN TASK FORCE: A Sign Task Force was assembled to address the sign needs of
small business owners. This Task Force was comprised of Planning
Co~Taissioners Larry McNiel and Peter Tolstoy, Chamber of Comerce
representatives, Planning Division staff, and Mr. Sliwoski, as well as
representatives of the Lucky's shopping center and Lewis Homes Management
Company (owner and manager of several shopping centers in the City). The Sign
Task Force has met five times since last October.
The Task Force reviewed the City's current Sign Ordinance regulations for
tenant identification. A wide variety of permanent and temporary signs are
presently allowed (see Exhibit "B"). The Task Force determined that the
primary issue is the inability of many small businesses to get their name on
the monument sign' along the street. The Sign Ordinance allows one monument
sign per street frontage. Each monument sign can list the name of the center
plus two tenants or identify three tenants. Therefore, a double-faced
monument sign could provide identification for 4-6 tenants in a typical
neighborhood shopping center which normally averages 14-20 tenants.
MONUMENT SIGNS: Many different options were discussed by the Sign Task Force.
Essentially, there are two choices that allow more tenants to have their name
on a monument sign: either allow more monument signs or allow bigger monument
signs. Options which were reviewed by the Task Force are briefly described
below and compared in the attached Exhibit "C."
pLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT
SOA 94-01 - CITY OF RANCHO CUCAMONGA
June 22, 1994
Page 2
OPTION 1: Double the number of monument signs allowed to two per street.
OPTION 2: Double the monument sign area to 48 square feet.
OPTION 3: Increase the monument sign area to 80 square feet.
These options are illustrated in the attached Exhibit "D."
Regardless of which option is selected, the Task Force recommended that the
City adopt the following regulations: l) limit major anchor identification
to 50 percent of monument sign area to ensure adequate space for other
tenants, and 2) adopt an 8-inch minimum letter height guideline to ensure
legibility.
TEMPORARY SIGNS: The use of temporary signs, such as banners or ground
mounted signs, is an important means of advertising for many businesses. In
evaluating the current regulations, the Task Force found that the allowable
total display periods were, for the most part, adequate. Where they did find
room for improvement was in providing flexibility in the use of these time
periods by individual businesses and in identifying the need for new
businesses to have additional advertising opportunities. It should be noted
that no changes are being proposed to the allowable types of signs, sizes,
colors, or locations. The following changes were reconunended by the Task
Force:
A. Temporary Advertisin~ Signs: Each business will continue to have the
ability to display a temporary sign at their business location (on the
building face or directly in front of their unit). In addition, shopping
centers will also be allowed a temporary sign under these same criteria to
advertise special events, promotions, or to showcase a new business. The
recommended changes are as follows:
1. Signs may be approved in periods of at least seven days for a total
of up to nine times (weeks) per year (current code allows a 15-day
minimum period for a total of four periods per year).
2. A maximum of four periods may be approved consecutively to allow a
single sign to be displayed for up to 28 days (current code allows a
30-day maximum by combining two 15-day periods).
3. A minimum of two weeks shall be required between approved display
periods (current policy requires one week between periods).
4. The total number of days a sign may be displayed is 63 days per
calendar year (increased from 60 days to correlate with the actual
number of days in nine 7-day weeks).

B. Grand Opening Signs: New businesses have a particularly urgent need to
identify themselves and their location. A temporary sign can be. of use to
alert potential customers even prior to opening for business. For these
reasons, the allowable time periods for "Grand Opening" signs have been
increased and the reco~mnended changes are as follows:
1. A "Grand Opening" sign may be displayed for a period of up to 90 days
(increased from a total of 45 days permitted by current code). The
display period is broken down to be used 30 days prior to the opening
of the business and 60 days after opening.
2. A sign Of this type would be available only for a newly established
business o~ a change of business name following a closure.
3. An application for such a sign must be made either prior to opening
or within the first 60 days of operation.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the Co~nission select an option and
give direction to staff to bring back the appropriate Ordinance.

RE: Sign Ordinance Amendment 94-01
Dear Dan:
In response to our conversations I would like to offer the
following comments regarding the proposed sign ordinance amendment:
1. A third option of maintaining the current monument
ordinance (24 square foot sign area and 8 feet high) should be
added to the proposal. This provides landlords that don't wish to
develop a program identifying minor tenants on the project
monumentation an option. As you know, I have discussed this with
Planning Commission Chairman Dave Barker and he didn't have any
problem with this concept.
2. The other two "new" options would be for property owners
that want to develop a monument sign program that incorporates
minor tenants.
If you have any further questions please feel free to contact me at
909-946-7585.
~ery truly yours,
/ /5 ' 7D5-c'., ''
