Chairman McNiel commented that new information had been received regarding this project. Commissioner Tolstoy stated that the did not have a chance to review the information received. He requested the item be continued. Brad Buller, City Planner, noted that several letters had been received eadier in the day from the Department of Community and Cultural Resources, Spirit of the Sage, Diana Santini, and Cynthia Shannon. In light of that, he suggested a 30-day continuance. Kazem Zommorodian, Atlantic Engineering 5505 Avenida Encinas, Suite 230 Cadsbad, requested that the item not be continued because the delay would be costly. Commissioner McNiel invited public comment. Matthew Rees, 5217 London Avenue, Rancho Cucamonga, stated he also had not seen the new matedal being presented, but expressed his joint concern with his neighbors about the drainage, hydrology, and the overburdened easements on the project site and asked the Commissioners to "take a longer look" before approving this project. Commissioner Mannedno expressed his concern that the item was not noticed as a public headng and therefore everyone that would like to comment might not be in attendance. Mr. Buller pointed out that this item is a Development Review and would not necessarily be noticed as a public hearing. He also noted that the residents are aware of this issue and that staff has been in contact with the residents as well as the residents being in contact with staff. He said staff is also aware of the drainage issues and was prepared to address that issue this evening. He indicated the concerns raised at this time were environmental issues as opposed to the actual Development Review. Commissioner Mannedno expressed that enough impact from this project had occurred on the project and therefore he moved to continue the item for 30 days. Chairman McNiel suggested that if there were interested parties present that were unable to attend the suggested meeting date of July 14, 1999, that they be allowed to speak on the item now. Planning Commission Minutes -2- June 9, 1999 Cynthia Shannon, 9574 Hidden Farm Road, presented a petition signed by 23 neighbors opposing the continuation of Hidden Farm Road across Archibald as well as requesting the new housing development have one-story homes and fully comply with the Hillside Ordinance. Ms. Shannon mentioned that most of the neighbors were not completely opposed to the project, but suggested "we do it right." She cited issues of safety for children crossing the street and questioned why it was necessary to continue Hidden Farm Road across Archibald. She also suggested the road be offset to lessen the danger. She expressed concern that the pads for the homes were not stepped pads and therefore may not be in compliance with the Hillside Ordinance. She also asked what was being done to minimize the visual impact to the neighborhood already in place. She cited the following concerns about the initial study: emergency access and the threat of wildfires, impact on the migration of animals living in the area, a lack of public education about how to live with the wildlife, the grading and whether it had been propedy approved to be done prior to mitigation, and the extension of the horse trail. She indicated that she would not be in favor of allowing the developer to get away with grading prior to approval. Robert Lang, Barratt American, 2035 Corte Del Nogal, Suite 160, Cadsbad, noted that the bulldozing the residents had observed was to clear the site for weed abatementJbrush fire purposes and that it was not their intention to "jump the gun." Motion: Moved by Mannedno, seconded by Tolstoy, carried 5-0, to pull the item from the Consent Calendar and notice the item as a public hearing for the July 14, 1999, meeting and direct that notices be sent to all parties within 300 feet of the project. Motion carried by the following vote: AYES: MACIAS, MANNERINO, MCNIEL, STEWART, TOLSTOY NOES: NONE ABSENT: NONE -carried C. DEVELOl)MENT REVIEW 99-03 - MASTERCRAFT HOMES - The design review of detailed site plan and building elevations for Phases 3 and 4 of Tract 14380, consisting of 38 single family lots in the Low Residential Distdct (2-4 dwelling units per acre) of the Etiwanda North Specific Plan, located west of Etiwanda Avenue and north of Wilson Avenue - Al)N: 225-461-05 to 42. Chairman McNiel asked the public if there was anyone present that needed to address this issue. Seeing a response from the audience, Chairman McNiel invited the public to address the issue. Donna Mayer, 12661 Ridgecrest Ddve, Rancho Cucamonga, presented to the Commissioners photographs taken of the site and earthmoving trucks and equipment. Ms. Mayer stated that she had documented 78 truck loads of dirt per day had been added to the site over the course of the last three weeks. She stated she had not been notified of the second phase going in, and that many feet of dirt had been imported from another site and subsequently had increased the elevation of the new project site. She continued by stating her concern that the soil had not been propedy compacted and that it would be unsafe to build upon. She added that she had expressed her concerns to the project planner, Tom Grahn, and that he had changed what he had told her from a previous discussion. She indicated that Mr. Bullet, the City Planner, had admitted he saw dirt from the Centex site moved over to the Masterpiece site. She added that Tom said the plans were approved in 1988 and that they do not have to conform to current regulations. Planning Commission Minutes -3- June 9, 1999 Franz Weterbach, 12725 Ridgecrest Ddve, Rancho Cucamonga, stated that the grading plans dating back to 1988 showed the project site as vacant land, and that no consideration had been given to the homes located above the site. He further explained that he had not observed any grading equipment for compaction and that the soil was only watered down. He asked the Planning Commission to look into the situation. John Ravola, 12771 Ridgecrest Ddve, Rancho Cucamonga, said the only notice he received about the meeting was a door flyer produced by one of the neighbors and that nothing had been received from the City. He stated he enjoys his view to the South. He indicated his understanding was that fill dirt was not to be imported and suggested the guidelines for this be followed. Mr. Ravola also presented photos of trucks of dirt. He also stated he thought our meeting was exciting and that he would like to attend more often. Matilda Vaszuez, 15725 Ridegecrest Drive, Rancho Cucamonga, complained that she was losing her view and she requested the Commissioners come to see the dirt. She said that not all of the dirt could have resulted from the construction. Chairman McNiel observed that nothing guarantees a view, and that even if a site is deemed "unusable" or "vacant," that designation can change over the course of time. He then asked staff to respond to the concerns of residents. Chairman McNiel remarked that from looking at the - photos, perhaps some of the dirt was for trenching. Brad Buller, City Planner, asked Tom Grahn, the project planner, to field the questions about the project. Tom Grahn, Associate Planner, stated that in 1988 the tract was approved and broken into phases. He stated the tract was not subject to the Hillside Ordinance regulations because the grade of the site is less than that requiring the use of the Hillside regulations. He continued by saying the tract has been designed to consider drainage and it does comply with the Etiwanda Specific Plan requirements. He explained that as the phases progressed, dirt from eadier phases of construction was being stockpiled in the areas the residents had photographed. He continued by stating there are two water detention basins and some dirt had been moved from another site to improve the trails. He also explained that the grading was designed to minimize cross-lot drainage, and that large slopes would be noticeable but that it would result in less of an impact. Commissioner Mannedno stated that he had been on the Design Review committee with Commissioner Stewart in regard to approving the elevations of the homes for Phases 3 and 4, He noted that the residents are complaining about grading issues on previous phases, and that although that may be an issue of concern, the issue before them is for the Development Review of Phases 3 and 4; therefore, he could not address issues that are not on the agenda. Mr. Bullet noted that Ms. Mayer raised an issue that he had already addressed with her. He pointed out that grading requires not only a permit, but inspection and certification and that the project is being built and inspected in compliance with all codes. He continued by stating he had witnessed dirt from the south side of Wilson being moved to the north side of Wilson. He confirmed that the Building and Safety Department would validate that the grading had occurred propedy and according to plan but added that there are no view rights. Commissioner Mannerino added that the elevations for Phases 3 and 4 had not changed since the original approval in 1988. Planning Commission Minutes -4- June 9, 1999 Chairman McNiel asked if there was a need to import the dirt. Dan James, Senior Civil Engineer, stated that he could not answer the question because he is not familiar with the grading plans. Chairman McNiel added that this project was not designated under the Hillside Ordinance. Chairman Macias asked if the Building Official would verify the grading. Mr. Buller stated a soil analysis as well as grading checks would be completed and vedfied. Chairman Macias asked for confirmation that this would take place and if it would be part of the public headng process. Mr. Bullet confirmed that it would take place but would not be part of the public review. He added that the final grading plans go through a thorough plan check. Commissioner Mannerino stated that Phases 1 and 2 were per plan and that 3 and 4 would be per plan as well and that the Building Department would certify the grading had been done correctly and that they do check the developers. Motion: Moved by Mannerino, seconded by Macias to adopt the resolution approving Development Review 99-03.

ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT AND CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT 99-08 - CURRY BRANDAW ARCHITECTS - A request to construct and to operate a two-story residential care facility for the eldedy totaling approximately 53,192 square feet in the Low-Medium Residential District (4-8 dwelling units per acre) on approximately 5.1 acres of land, located on the southeast comer of Hermosa Avenue and 19th Street - APN: 1076-111-09. Related files: Pre-Application Review 98-08, General Plan Amendment 99-02, and Development District Amendment 99-02, and Historic Landmark Designation 99-02. Chairman McNiel reminded the Commissioners that they had agreed to hear Item A from the Historic Preservation agenda, Historic Landmark Designation 99-02, in conjunction with General Plan Amendment 99-02, Development Distdct Amendment 99-02, and Conditional Use Permit 99-08. Sal Salazar, Associate Planner, presented the staff report and noted that he had received favorable calls from neighbors and that one resident in opposition of the project was in attendance. Chairman McNiel opened the public hearing. Garth Brandaw, Holiday Retirement Homes, 2260 McGilchdst Street, SE, Suite 100, Salem, Oregon, stated their company operates 220 retirement facilities. He commented that he felt their plans are compatible with the other uses surrounding the project and is pleased with the fact that they had been able to provide over 50 percent open space on the developed site as well as being able to intertwine the histodc residence and adjacent orange grove in with the development. He added they had kept a strong residential scale to the project and that they were not neady as institutional as other facilities of this kind. Mark Hodbek, 10089 Mignonette, Rancho Cucamonga, raised concern about the Initial Study and the related impacts. He thought this project will change the character of the neighborhood. He noted that the PUD, apartments, and the park have all impacted the tract on the west side of Hermosa and he did not like the idea of adding more density to the area. He felt this facility is a commercial enterprise and that it would violate the current zoning for the site and asked for clarification of the same. He thought public services will be significantly impacted because there is no control of the traffic and he felt the noise impact will be severe. He added that he had counted 13 burned out street lights and that he felt the existing neighborhood had been ignored and dumped on. He concluded by saying he felt the project does not reflect, or is sensitive to, the existing neighborhood. Commissioner Macias asked how the residents would get around town. Mr. Brandaw said that most of the residents are in their seventies or early eighties and that they most likely would be living alone and only about 20 percent of them would still be driving and their trips would be limited. He indicated that even if there are 2 persons in each suite, the project would still have fewer trips than what would be used by 23 single family dwellings. He added that the trip times for these residents is not typically during peak periods and with only 12-16 staff members, the parking demands are Iow. Mike Robbins, 9920 19th Street, Rancho Cucamonga, reported that the temple is located near another facility of this kind and that they have been a good neighbor and that his expedenca with this type of use has been good. Planning Commission Minutes -6- June 9, i999 Mike Jumper, 666 Bdssac Place, Rancho Cucamonga, asked how many suites would be in the facility. Mr. Brandaw indicated 114 suites. Mr. Jumper asked how you get 114 suites with a zoning of only 4-8 dwelling units per acre and felt this might be like another apadment building with more people per acre. He added that he did not like zoning changes. Brad Bullet, City Planner stated that some sites can have alternative land uses and that it may not be solely based upon density depending upon the use and that the number of rooms is not related to the land use category. He explained that with a Conditional Use Permit, which is discretionary, the Planning Commission evaluates the project to see if it fits into the existing neighborhood. He stated this project would not be permitted under the Low Residential category but that it can be permitted under the Low-Medium Residential category. Chairman McNiel commented that his Mother-in-law had resided in this kind of facility for 3-4 years and that few people came to visit. He pointed out that the people there were always quiet, trouble free, that they caused no problems and that it was actually a benefit to the neighborhood because there were no calls about loud music, graffiti, or extra noise in the street. He confirmed his belief that this is a good use, Mr. Jumper acknowledged the point was well taken but then asked what would happen if the developer left and if the building could become apartments or some other use at a later time or if more units could be added at a later time. He added that he wished the property could stay the way it is or become single family homes. Mr. Bullet advised him that this use could not be modified and that the Conditional Use Permit would be revoked under those circumstances. Hubert Surki, 10223 19th Street, Rancho Cucamonga, stated that he lives just east of this development and that he never received notification. He reported the traffic on 19th Street is very noisy especially at rush hour and with big rigs traveling 19th Street all day long. He cited noise from the school traffic as well as the park traffic would not be pleasing to the residents of this facility. He asked how far from 19th Street the facility would be as well as how many parking spaces would be available. Mr. Salazar responded by saying that sound mitigation would be in place and that a noise study would be required. He also stated that one parking space for every 4 beds were required totaling 29 required spaces and that 67 spaces are provided, so that even if there were 2 beds per suite, it would exceed the requirement. Mr. Buller mentioned that Mr. Surki would have liked the developer to approach him and ask him his thoughts about the project. He recalled meeting Mr. Surki at the previous Planning Commission meeting and noted that Mr. Surki did receive the notice of the public headng but was hoping to meet the developer and review the plans. Rich Underwood, 10203 Ring Avenue, Rancho Cucamonga, commented that he liked the look of the project but wanted to know the age requirements for the residents and if there will be CC&Rs. He also commented that one gets used to the noise but that he hopes the traffic will lighten up alter the freeway is completed, relieving some of the high use travel on 19th Street. Planning Commission Minutes -7- June 9, 1999 Mr. Brandaw stated that the lease agreement states 65 years of age as the minimum but due to ADA regulations, they have to make a reasonable accommodation if for example an older person has a spouse under the age of 65. He added that their lease provides three meals per day, transportation, and housekeeping and that the age of the residents is self regulating because with those kinds of services, younger folks would generally not want to live there. Chairman McNiel asked if it is based more upon their ability to function. Mr. Brandaw replied that the health of the resident is determined and taken into account. Mr. Buller noted that a condition could be placed stipulating seniors 65 years of age and above to help regulate, but that since it is a Conditional Use Permit, we can consider additional conditions at a later time if it should become a problem. Chairman McNiel commented on the activities in the adjacent park and pointed out that another facility of this type is located next to Red Hill Park on Base Line Road, which is a very busy street. He remarked that the seniors in that facility often sit on their balconies and watch the baseball games. He also noted that the noise study had not yet been completed. Commissioner Macias concluded that the residents that live there will adjust to their community just as well as anyone else. He said it is their choice to live there, it is their choice to open or close the windows, watch tv inside, or go outside and listen to the noise. He felt they are not going there to die but are going to go there to enjoy the remainder of their lives and they will adjust to their community. Hearing no further comments, Chairman McNiel closed the public headng. Commissioner Stewart reported that she and Commissioner Tolstoy sat on Design Review together for this project. She asserted that the applicant was careful to design the project to be compatible with the neighborhood and that more senior housing is an identified need in Rancho Cucamonga. She also noted that typically the residents travel in groups and that they use very few cars and that with the land use change there is actually more open space than with some other use. She remarked that this applicant was even willing to preserve a historic home and that the Conditional Use Permit allows the Planning Commission leverage and that it can be revoked later if it became necessary. Motion: Moved by Stewart, seconded by Macias to recommend issuance 'of a Negative Declaration of Environmental impacts and to adopt the resolutions recommending that the City Council approve Historic Landmark Designation 99-02, General Plan Amendment 99-02, Development District Amendment 99-02, and Conditional Use Permit 99-08.
