ANALYSIS:
A. The project scope is for the construction and operation of a 72-bed senior memory care
facility. Residential Care Facilities are a permitted use subject to the approval of a
Conditional Use Permit within the Low (L) Residential District. The project includes Tentative
Parcel Map SUBTPM20034 for the subdivision of the 3.59 project site into two parcels of
land. The residential care facility will be located on Parcel A (2.86 acres) and will include 42
parking spaces. The church will maintain ownership of Parcel B (.73 acres) which will include
66 parking spaces to be used for overflow parking for church-related uses. Both Parcels A
and B meet the minimum area and dimension requirements for the Low (L) Residential
Zoning District.
The 43,375 square foot single-story structure is designed to evoke the Craftsman
architectural design style including the use of a flat concrete roof tile, painted cementitious
horizontal shake siding, and stone veneer wainscoting. A bus shelter will be provided on the
Haven Avenue street frontage that is designed to complement the main building including
the use of a flat concrete tile roof supported by battered columns. The facility is broken up
into 4 residential “neighborhoods” with unique identities and visual décor to ease resident
anxiety through familiar surroundings. Each neighborhood includes a living room, den, a
residential kitchen and a dining room where meals are served (meals prepared in a common
kitchen). A “town center” will connect the four “neighborhoods” and will feature a health
center, community center, studio and beauty salon/barber. Outdoor facilities include 2
courtyards and a larger secure common open space area. The facility will include 8-foot-
high wrought iron fencing along the north, south and west building elevations for security
purposes. Vinyl gates and fencing will be used along the west elevation to complement the
front facade of the building. The maximum permitted wall height within residential districts
is 6 feet. The applicant has submitted Minor Exception DRC2019-00465 to permit the
additional wall/fence height in order to prevent memory care residents from wandering away
from the facility and to screen a back-up generator.
Vehicular access to the site will be provided by 2 existing driveways, one on Haven Avenue
and one on Banyan Street. Decorative stamped paving is proposed at both drive entrances
as well as at a circular pedestrian drop off area at the main building entrance. A gated fire
access drive will be located adjacent to the south property line. Outdoor lighting is proposed
throughout the parking lot, pedestrian walkways and along the exterior walls of the building.
The freestanding outdoor lights will have a maximum height of 15 feet, which is the
maximum permitted within residential districts. The existing perimeter walls located along
the south and west property lines will remain in place and will be repaired and painted to
match the main building. Landscaping will be provided around the entire structure and in
the parking lot area in compliance with the parking lot landscape requirement of 1 tree per
3 parking spaces. A circular pedestrian drop-off area will be provided at the front entrance
that will include a large specimen multi-trunk live oak tree.

The project complies with each of the related development requirements except for
wall/fence height for the Low (L) Residential District as demonstrated in the following table:
Required/Maximum Provided Complies?
Building Setback (Haven Avenue) 45 Feet 120 Feet Yes
Building Setback (Banyan Street) 35 Feet 121 Feet Yes
Rear Yard Setback 20 feet 22 Feet Yes
Side Yard Setback 5 Feet 53 Feet Yes
Building Height 35 Feet 20 Feet Yes
Lot Coverage 40 Percent 25 Percent Yes
Wall/Fence Height 6 Feet 8 Feet Yes, with Minor Exception
B. Parking: The proposed Residential Care Facility is categorized under a congregate health
facility in Table 17.64.050-1 of the Development Code. Congregate health facilities are
required to provide 1 parking space per 4 beds, which translates into a parking requirement
of 18 parking spaces based on the proposed 72-bed facility. The proposed facility will
provide 42 parking spaces on their parcel, which should adequately serve the 26 employees
on the largest shift as well as any guests.
Shepard of the Hills Lutheran Church will maintain ownership of .73 acre of the project site
(Parcel B) for use as overflow parking. Required parking for churches is based on the
number of seats in the main sanctuary. Shepard of the Hills Lutheran Church has 175 seats
in the main sanctuary. Based on the current parking requirement of 1 parking space per 3
fixed seats, the church would be required to provide 54 parking spaces. The majority of
parking for the church (72 spaces), is currently located on the north side of their facility at
the northwest corner of Banyan Street and Haven Avenue within a Metropolitan Water
District (MWD) easement. In addition, the church will continue to provide 8 parking spaces
adjacent to the church not on the MWD easement, and 66 parking spaces on the project
site as overflow parking. There will be no physical barriers between Parcels A and B
separating the parking for the residential care facility and the church, with any parking issues
to be resolved by the two separate property owners. Accordingly, the Engineering
Department proposes a condition of approval requiring that reciprocal access and parking
agreements be recorded either prior to, or concurrently with, the recordation of the final map.
The table below demonstrates the project’s compliance with the number of required parking
stalls:

C. Conditional Use Permit DRC2017-01003: Per Development Code Table 17.30.030-1,
residential care facilities require approval of a Conditional Use Permit to operate in the Low
(L) Residential District. The proposed 72-bed residential care facility will be entirely
dedicated to the care of persons with memory-related disorders. Per the business
description letter submitted by the applicant, the facility will operate 24 hours per day, 7 days
per week. A total of 45 employees will be employed by the facility with 26 employees working
the day shift from 7:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m., 14 employees working the evening shift from 3:00
p.m. to 11:00 p.m. and 5 employees working the graveyard shift from 11:00 p.m. to 7:00
a.m. The applicant has also submitted a letter outlining the estimated police and fire calls-
for-service. Based on the other senior care facilities operated by the applicant, they estimate
that there will be approximately 3.6 calls-for-service per month from the proposed senior
care facility. The proposed Conditional Use Permit fully complies with the findings of facts
required by the City’s Development Code prior to granting a Conditional Use Permit request
as outlined below:
Finding: The proposed use is allowed within the applicable Zoning District and
complies with all other applicable provisions of this zoning code, Municipal Code,
General Plan, and any applicable specific plans or City regulations/standards.
Fact: The proposed Residential Care Facility is located within the Low (L) General Plan land
use and Development Code zoning district. The proposed Residential Care Facility is
consistent with the intent of the zoning district and the General Plan land use designation,
as residential care facilities are permitted within the Low (L) Residential District subject to
the approval of a Conditional Use Permit. The facility is designed in accordance with all
applicable development standards of the Development Code such as building setbacks,
building height, and parking.
Finding: The site is physically suited for the type, density, and intensity of the
proposed use including access, utilities, and the absence of physical constraints and
can be conditioned to meet all related performance criteria and development
standards.
Fact: The proposed residential care facility complies with all related standards outlined in
the Development Code including building setbacks, building height, parking, and landscape
coverage. The project, though, includes security fencing up to 8 feet in height which exceeds
the maximum 6-foot fencing permitted within residential districts. The applicant has
submitted Minor Exception DRC2019-00465. The project provides two points of access from
the adjacent public streets and will comply will all performance standards of the Low (L)
Residential District.
Finding: Granting the permit would not be detrimental to the public interest, health,
safety, convenience, or welfare, or materially injurious to persons, property, or
improvements in the vicinity in which the project is located.
Fact: The proposed residential care facility will not be detrimental to the surrounding
properties as it will operate in full compliance with the performance standards of the Low (L)
Residential District. The applicant has submitted environmental studies related to noise,

biological resources, air quality and greenhouse gasses that conclude that the project will
not have a negative impact on the environment.
D. Minor Exception DRC2019-00465: The project includes a request to construct up to 8-foot
tall security fencing around the facility along with an 8-foot security wall around a backup
generator. The maximum wall/fence height permitted within the Low (L) Residential district
is 6 feet. The additional fence height is necessary to prevent memory care patients from
wandering away from the facility and to protect/screen the backup generator. Development
Code Section 17.16.110 allows for an up to 2-foot increase in wall height subject to the
approval of a Minor Exception. The findings of facts below support the necessary findings,
which are required by the Development Code:
Finding: The Minor Exception is consistent with the General Plan or any applicable
specific plan or Development Agreement.
Fact: The proposed increase in the maximum permitted wall height is consistent with the
purpose of the Low General Plan land use designation, which permits complementary land
uses within residential districts. The proposed senior care facility is compatible with the
residential land use designation as it will be quiet in nature, has a low profile (single-story),
and will not negatively impact the existing traffic patterns. The additional fence height is
necessary to secure the open space areas around the facility and to protect/screen the
backup generator.
Finding: The proposed development is compatible with existing and proposed land
uses in the surrounding area.
Fact: The project site is surrounded by residential land uses to the east, west, and south
and by an existing church to the north. The additional wall/fence height is necessary to
properly secure the proposed senior care facility. The additional wall/fence height will be
screened from public view by the onsite structure and by existing and proposed landscaping.
Finding: The proposed exception to the specific development standard(s) is
necessary to allow creative design solutions compatible with the desires of the
community and/or to accommodate unique site conditions.
Fact: The additional wall/fence height is necessary to secure the outdoor recreation areas
and backup generator of a senior care facility dedicated to the care of memory care patients.
Without the additional wall/fence height, the facility would not be able to properly secure the
outdoor recreation area and the safety of their patents. Public view by the onsite structure
and by existing and proposed landscaping. The security wall/fence along the west elevation
will consist of 6-foot-tall vinyl fencing/gates topped by 2 feet of open vinyl lattice fencing
along with 10 feet of the 8-foot-tall block faced in stone veneer to match the building. The
height of the wrought iron fence along the north elevation will be screened by a 2:1 slope
along with landscaping.
Finding: The granting of the Minor Exception will not constitute a grant of special
privilege inconsistent with the limitations on other properties classified in the same

district, and will not be detrimental to public health, safety or welfare or materially
injurious properties or improvements in the vicinity.
Fact: The proposed additional fence/wall height will not be a grant of special privilege as the
additional fence/wall height is necessary to properly secure the patients of a proposed
residential care facility for memory care patients. The additional wall height will not
negatively impact the surrounding property owners as the proposed walls will be screened
from view by the proposed building along with existing and proposed landscaping.
E. Design Review Committee: The project was reviewed and approved as presented by the
Design Review Committee on September 17, 2019.
F. Neighborhood Meeting: The applicant hosted a neighborhood meeting on September 5,
2019, at the Shepperd of the Hills Lutheran Church, with approximately 15 persons in
attendance. The questions raised were related to the operation of the residential care
facility, security issues related to the multi-family development south of the project site, and
security fencing and traffic issues in the surrounding neighborhood. The applicant stated
that the facility was dedicated to memory care patients and would operate on a 24-hour
schedule, anticipating approximately 1 call-for-service per week for medical assistance that
would require the service of an ambulance and/or the Fire Department. Security fencing (8-
foot-tall wrought iron fence) will be located around the facility and will be screened from
public view by landscaping and the main building. Loitering issues related to the current
parking lot should be eliminated with the development of the senior care facility. Traffic
issues are mostly related to Chaffey College and are out of the applicant’s control.
G. Public Art: The project is required to provide public art with a minimum value of $43,375
($1.00 per square foot) based on the size of the proposed structure (43,375 square feet) or
to pay the equivalent amount into the City’s public art trust fund.
H. Environmental Assessment: The Planning Department staff has determined that the project
is categorically exempt from the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act
(CEQA) and the City’s CEQA Guidelines. The project qualifies as a Class 32 exemption
under State CEQA Guidelines Section 15332 - In-Fill Development Projects for the following
reasons: (1) the project is consistent with the applicable General Plan designations and all
applicable General Plan policies as well as with the applicable zoning designation and
regulations, (2) the proposed development occurs within the City limits on a project site of
no more than five acres substantially surrounded by urban uses, (3) the project site has no
value as a habitat for endangered, rare or threatened species, (4) approval of the project
would not result in any significant effects relating to traffic, noise, air quality, or water quality,
and (5) the site can be adequately served by all required utilities and public services.
The General Plan Land Use and Zoning Designation for the project site are Low/Low (L)
Residential District, which permits the development and operation of residential care
facilities subject to approval of a conditional use permit. The project complies with the City’s
development standards and design guidelines, including setbacks, height, lot coverage, and
design requirements. The project does require approval of a minor exception to permit
security fencing over the maximum fence height limit. The project site is located within the
City limits, is under five acres, and is surrounded by existing industrial development and City

infrastructure. Each of the five environmental factors required to be reviewed under In-Fill
Development (15332) exemption are outlined below:
a) Traffic: A Trip Generation Analysis (Dudek; August 7, 2018) was prepared for the project
which determined that the number of trips generated by the project would not create a
significant impact. Trip rates were calculated based on the Assisted Living (254) trip
rates from the Institute of Transportation Engineers Trip Generation Manual (10th
Addition (ITE, 2017)). It was determined that the project would generate 187 total daily
trips and 19 peak hour trips, which is below the 50 peak hours trips that would
necessitate a Traffic Impact Analysis.
b) Noise: A Noise Impact Analysis (Dudek; August 14, 2018) was prepared for the project.
The analysis determined that the project would comply with the construction and
operational noise and vibration requirements with the installation of a temporary noise
barrier during the construction phases of the project. Conditions of Approval have been
added to the Resolution of Approval outlining the required measures to reduce the
construction noise and vibration impacts to comply with noise level limitations.
c) Air Quality: An Air Quality and Green House Gas Analysis (Dudek: May 25, 2018) were
prepared for the project. The analysis determined that emissions associated with
construction and operation of the project would be below South Coast Air Quality
Maintenance District (SCAQMD) thresholds for both Air Quality and Green House
Gases.
d) Water Quality: A Water Quality Control exhibit (Pacific Coast Civil Inc.; July 18, 2019)
was prepared for the project. It was also determined through the review of the project’s
preliminary water quality plan that the project would not result in a significant impact
related to the water quality of the site or surrounding properties.
e) Biological: A Biological Resource Assessment (BRA) (TeraCor; January 18, 2019) was
prepared for the vacant project site. The BRA concludes that sensitive plant or wildlife
species, including any sensitive invertebrates, are not expected to occur within the area
given the condition of the site and developed nature of the surrounding land uses. The
proposed project, therefore, would not affect any sensitive species that would require
further investigation.
FISCAL IMPACT:
A Fiscal Impact Analysis (FIC) was prepared for the project (Stanley R. Hoffman Associates;
August 29, 2018), The FIC reviewed the projects projected recurring fiscal impacts and the
estimated major City one-time development impact fees compared to a hypothetical residential
project that would comply with the underlying residential zoning designation. Based on the
projected revenues and costs after buildout, it was concluded that the project would have a
recurring annual surplus to the City of $10,004, which is $26 greater than the $9,978 provided by
the hypothetical residential project.
The project site currently is assessed an annual property tax. A percentage of this annual tax is
shared with the City. The proposed development will increase the value of the project site and the
City’s annual share of the property tax will increase accordingly. The project proponent will also

be responsible for paying one-time impact fees. These fees are intended to address the increased
demand for City services due to the proposed project. The following types of services that these
impact fees would support include the following: library services, transportation infrastructure,
drainage infrastructure, animal services, police, parks, and community and recreation services.
COUNCIL GOAL(S) ADDRESSED:
The 2019 City Council Goals do not specifically address any topics that would directly impact the
proposed project. The Housing Element within the General Plan, though, identifies several
“special housing needs” within the City of Rancho Cucamonga. Among those needs are housing
for seniors and housing for persons with disabilities. This proposed residential care facility would
help satisfy the demand for both seniors and persons with disabilities.
The Economic Development element within the General Plan also identifies Haven Avenue as a
major office/commercial corridor that should be enhanced. This proposed residential care facility
will enhance the corner of Haven Avenue and Banyan Street and provide a high-quality
development that will provide a complementary use with the surrounding neighboring residential
developments.
CORRESPONDENCE:
This item was advertised as a public hearing with a regular page legal advertisement in the Inland
Valley Daily Bulletin newspaper, the property was posted, and notices were mailed to all property
owners within a 660-foot radius of the project site. To date, no comment/correspondence has
been received in response to these notifications.

d. Tentative Parcel Map SUBTPM20034 is for the subdivision of the 3.59 project site
into two parcels of land. The residential care facility will be located on Parcel A (2.86 acres) and will
include the senior care facility along with 42 parking spaces. The current property owner, Shepard of
the Hills Lutheran Church will maintain ownership on Parcel B (.73 acres) which will include 66
parking spaces; and
e. This application is being processed concurrently with Design Review DRC2017-
01011 for review of the site plan and design of a 72-bed residential care facility, Conditional Use
Permit 2017-01011 for the operation of a 72-bed residential care facility, and Minor Exception
DRC2019-00465 for security walls/fences over the maximum permitted 6-foot height limit.
3. Based upon the substantial evidence presented to this Commission during the above-
referenced meeting and upon the specific findings of facts set forth in paragraphs 1 and 2 above,
this Commission hereby finds and concludes as follows:
a. The tentative parcel map is consistent with the General Plan, Development Code,
and any applicable specific plans. The proposed subdivision of the 3.59-acre project site into 2
parcels of land is necessary in order to provide a separate parking lot for the Shepard of the Hills
Church, which is located at the northwest corner of Haven Avenue and Banyan Street. The General
Plan permits land uses within residential districts that are complementary to the surrounding land
uses, such as churches and residential care facilities. The Development Code permits both
churches and residential care facilities within the Low (L) Residential District subject to the approval
of a Conditional Use Permit.
b. The design or improvements of the tentative parcel map will be consistent with the
General Plan, Development Code, and any applicable specific plans. The proposed two parcel
tentative parcel map and the proposed residential care facility comply with all requirements of the
General Plan and Development Code, except for the necessity for up to 8-foot-high security
walls/fences for which the applicant has submitted a Minor Exception (DRC2019-00465) application.
Each parcel complies with the 7,200 square foot minimum lot size outlined in Table 17.36.010-1 of
the Development Code. Additionally, the proposed residential care facility and parking lot comply
with all of the related development standards including buiding setbacks, lot coverage, height,
parking and design; and
c. The site is physically suitable for the type of development proposed. The project
site is well suited for the proposed residential care facility as it is located at the intersection of two
Page 065
PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 19-68
SUBTPM20034 - ARTIS SENIOR LIVING
November 13, 2019
Page 3
public streets, provides two points of vehicle access along with a public transit stop; and
d. The design of the subdivision is not likely to cause substantial environmental
damage and avoidable injury to humans and wildlife or their habitat. Environmental studies related
to traffic, noise, air quality/greenhouse gasses and biological resources were submitted as part of
the review of the project which demonstrated that the project would not have a significant impact on
the environment; and
e. The tentative parcel map is not likely to cause serious public health problems. The
subdivision of the project site is not expected to cause serious public health issues, as the proposed
tentative parcel map is for the subdivision of the project site into two separate parcels in order to
create a separate parcel for Shepard of the Hills Lutheran Church in order to comply with the
minimum parking requirement for the church. The review of the project included the evaluation of
environmental studies which concluded that the project would not a serious impact on the
environment.
f. The design of the tentative parcel map will not conflict with any easement acquired
by the public at large, now of record, for access through or use of the property within the proposed
subdivision. The subject property does not contain any easements that would limit access to or use
of the project site.
4. The Planning Department Staff has determined that the project is categorically exempt
from the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and the City’s CEQA
Guidelines. The project qualifies under as a Class 32 exemption under State CEQA Guidelines
Section 15332 - In-Fill Development Projects for the following reasons: (1) the project is consistent
with the applicable General Plan designations and all applicable General Plan policies as well as
with the applicable zoning designation and regulations, (2) the proposed development occurs within
the City limits on a project site of no more than five acres substantially surrounded by urban uses,
(3) the project site has no value as a habitat for endangered, rare or threatened species, (4)
approval of the project would not result in any significant effects relating to traffic, noise, air quality,
or water quality, and (5) the site can be adequately served by all required utilities and public
services.
The General Plan Land Use and Zoning Designation for the project site are Low/Low (L) Residential
District, which permits the development and operation of residential care facilities subject to the
approval of a conditional use permit. The project complies with the City’s development standards
and design guidelines, including setbacks, height, lot coverage, and design requirements. The
project does require approval of a minor exception to permit security fencing over the maximum
fence height limit. The project site is located within the City limits, is under five acres, and is
surrounded by existing industrial development and City infrastructure. Each of the five environmental
factors required to be reviewed under In-Fill Development (15332) exemption are outlined below:
a) Traffic: A Trip Generation Analysis (Dudek; August 7, 2018) was prepared for the project
which determined that the number of trips generated by the project would not create a
significant impact. Trip rates were calculated based on the Assisted Living (254) trip
rates from the Institute of Transportation Engineers Trip Generation Manual (10th
Addition (ITE, 2017)). It was determined that the project would generate 187 total daily
trips and 19 peak hour trips, which is below the 50 peak hours trips that would
necessitate a Traffic Impact Analysis.

b) Noise: A Noise Impact Analysis (Dudek; August 14, 2018) was prepared for the project.
The analysis determined that the project would comply with the construction and
operational noise and vibration requirements with the installation of a temporary noise
barrier during the construction phases of the project. Conditions of Approval have been
added to the Resolution of Approval outlining the required measures to reduce the
construction noise and vibration impacts to comply with noise level limitations.
c) Air Quality: An Air Quality and Green House Gas Analysis (Dudek: May 25, 2018) were
prepared for the project. The analysis determined that emissions associated with
construction and operation of the project would be below South Coast Air Quality
Maintenance District (SCAQMD) thresholds for both Air Quality and Green House
Gases.
d) Water Quality: A Water Quality Control exhibit (Pacific Coast Civil Inc.; July 18, 2019)
was prepared for the project. It was also determined through the review of the project’s
preliminary water quality plan that the project would not result in a significant impact
related to the water quality of the site or surrounding properties.
e) Biological: A Biological Resource Assessment (BRA) (TeraCor; January 18, 2019) was
prepared for the vacant project site. The BRA concludes that sensitive plant or wildlife
species, including any sensitive invertebrates, are not expected to occur within the area
given the condition of the site and developed nature of the surrounding land uses. The
proposed project, therefore, would not affect any sensitive species that would require
further investigation.
5. Based upon the findings and conclusions set forth in paragraphs 1, 2, 3, and 4 above,
this Commission hereby approves the application subject to each and every condition set forth in the
Conditions of Approval, attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference.
6. The Secretary to this Commission shall certify to the adoption of this Resolution.

j. This application is being processed concurrently with Tentative Parcel Map
SUBTPM20034, to subdivide the project into two separate parcels (one to be owned and maintained
by Shepard of the Hills church to be used as a parking lot), Conditional Use Permit 2017-01011 for a
proposal to establish and operate a 72-bed residential care facility, and Minor Exception DRC2019-
00465 security walls/fences over the maximum permitted 6-foot height limit.
3. Based upon the substantial evidence presented to this Commission during the above-
referenced meeting and upon the specific findings of facts set forth in paragraphs 1 and 2 above,
this Commission hereby finds and concludes as follows:
a. The proposed project is in accord with the General Plan. The proposal is to
construct a building for the purposes of operating an assisted living facility. The underlying General
Plan designation is Low (L) Residential District, which is a permitted use subject to the approval of a
conditional use permit.
b. The proposed use is in accord with the objective of this Development Code and the
purposes of the district in which the site is located. The proposed land use (Residential Care
Facility) is similar to residential land uses and consistent with the land uses within the vicinity. The
proposed residential care facility complies with all related standards outlined in the Development
Code including building setbacks, building height, parking, and landscape coverage. The project,
though, includes security fencing up to 8 feet in height which exceeds the maximum 6-foot fencing
permitted within residential districts. The applicant has submitted Minor Exception DRC2019-00465.
The project provides two points of access from the adjacent public streets and will comply will all
performance standards for the Low (L) Residential District.
c. The proposed use is in compliance with each of the applicable provisions of this
Development Code. The proposed residential care facility complies with all related standards
outlined in the Development Code including building setbacks, building height, parking, and
landscape coverage. The project, though, includes security fencing up to 8 feet in height which
exceeds the maximum 6-foot fencing permitted within residential districts. The applicant has
submitted Minor Exception DRC2019-00465. The project provides two points of access from the
adjacent public streets and will comply will all performance standards of the Low (L) Residential
District.
d. The proposed use, together with the conditions applicable thereto, will not be
detrimental to the public health, safety, or welfare, or materially injurious to properties or
improvements in the vicinity. The proposed residential care facility is a compatible use to the
residential land uses adjacent to the project site. The zoning of the property and the property to the
north and west is Low (L) Residential District. The proposed use is quiet in nature and has been
designed and conditioned to limit negative impacts on the adjacent residential land uses.
4. The Planning Department Staff has determined that the project is categorically exempt
from the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and the City’s CEQA
Guidelines. The project qualifies under as a Class 32 exemption under State CEQA Guidelines
Section 15332 - In-Fill Development Projects for the following reasons: (1) the project is consistent
with the applicable General Plan designations and all applicable General Plan policies as well as
with the applicable zoning designation and regulations, (2) the proposed development occurs within
the City limits on a project site of no more than five acres substantially surrounded by urban uses,
(3) the project site has no value as a habitat for endangered, rare or threatened species, (4)

project does require the approval of a minor exception to permit security fencing over the maximum
fence height limit. The project site is located within the City limits, is under five acres, and is
surrounded by existing industrial development and City infrastructure. Each of the five environmental
factors required to be reviewed under In-Fill Development (15332) exemption are outlined below:

Building Setback (Haven Avenue) 45 Feet 120 Feet
Building Setback (Banyan Street) 35 Feet 121 Feet
Rear Yard Setback 20 feet 22 Feet
Side Yard Setback 5 Feet 53 Feet
Building Height 35 Feet 20 Feet
Lot Coverage 40 Percent 25 Percent
Wall/Fence Height 6 Feet 8 Feet
e. The project includes a request to construct up to 8-foot tall security fencing around
the facility along with an 8-foot security wall around a backup generator. The maximum wall/fence
height permitted within the Low (L) Residential district is 6 feet. The additional fence height is
necessary to prevent memory care patients from wandering away from the facility and to
protect/screen the backup generator. Development Code Section 17.16.110 allows for an up to 2-
foot increase in wall height subject to the approval of a Minor Exception.
f. The application is being processed concurrently with Tentative Parcel Map
SUBTPM20034, to subdivide the project into two separate parcels (one to be owned and maintained
by Sh epard of the Hills church to be used as a parking lot), Design Review DRC2017-01011 for
review of the site plan and design of a 72-bed residential care facility, and Conditional Use Permit
2017-01011 for a proposal to establish and operate a 72-bed residential care facility.
3. Based upon the substantial evidence presented to this Commission during the above-
referenced meeting and upon the specific findings of facts set forth in paragraphs 1 and 2 above,
this Commission hereby finds and concludes as follows:
a. The Minor Exception is consistent with the General Plan or any applicable specific
plan or Development Agreement. The proposed increase in the maximum permitted wall height is
consistent with the purpose of the Low General Plan land use designation, which permits
complementary land uses within residential districts. The proposed senior care facility is compatible
with the residential land use designation as it will be quiet in nature, has a low profile (single-story),

and will not negatively impact the existing traffic patterns. The additional fence height is necessary
to secure the open space areas around the facility and to protect/screen the backup generator.
b. The proposed development is compatible with existing and proposed land uses in
the surrounding area. The project site is surrounded by residential land uses to the east, west, and
south and by an existing church to the north. The additional wall/fence height is necessary to
properly secure the proposed senior care facility. The additional wall/fence height will be screened
from public view by the onsite structure and by existing and proposed landscaping.
c. The proposed exception to the specific development standard(s) is necessary to
allow creative design solutions compatible with the desires of the community and/or to
accommodate unique site conditions. The additional wall/fence height is necessary to secure the
outdoor recreation areas and backup generator of a residential care facility dedicated to the care of
memory care patients. Without the additional wall/fence height, the facility would not be able to
properly secure the outdoor recreation area and the safety of their patents. public view by the onsite
structure and by existing and proposed landscaping. The security wall/fence along the west
elevation will consist of 6-foot-tall solid vinyl fencing/gates topped by 2 feet of open vinyl lattice
fencing along with 10 feet of the 8-foot-tall block faced in stone veneer to match the building. The
height of the wrought iron fence along the north elevation will be screened by a 2:1 slope along with
landscaping.
d. The proposed exception to the specific development standard(s) is necessary to
allow creative design solutions compatible with the desires of the community and/or to
accommodate unique site conditions. The additional wall/fence height is necessary to secure the
outdoor recreation areas and backup generator of a senior care facility dedicated to the care of
memory care patients. Without the additional wall/fence height, the facility would not be able to
properly secure the outdoor recreation areas surrounding the residential care faclity and the safety
of their patents. The security wall/fence along the west elevation will consist of 6-foot-tall vinyl
fencing/gates topped by 2 feet of open vinyl lattice fencing along with 10 feet of the 8-foot-tall block
faced in stone veneer to match the building. The height of the wrought iron fence along the north
elevation will be screened by a 2:1 slope along with landscaping.
4. The Planning Department Staff has determined that the project is categorically exempt
from the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and the City’s CEQA
Guidelines. The project qualifies under as a Class 32 exemption under State CEQA Guidelines
Section 15332 - In-Fill Development Projects for the following reasons: (1) the project is consistent
with the applicable General Plan designations and all applicable General Plan policies as well as
with the applicable zoning designation and regulations, (2) the proposed development occurs within
the City limits on a project site of no more than five acres substantially surrounded by urban uses,
(3) the project site has no value as a habitat for endangered, rare or threatened species, (4)
approval of the project would not result in any significant effects relating to traffic, noise, air quality,
or water quality, and (5) the site can be adequately served by all required utilities and public
services.
The General Plan Land Use and Zoning Designation for the project site are Low/Low (L) Residential
District, which permits the development and operation of residential care facilities subject to the
approval of a conditional use permit. The project complies with the City’s development standards
and design guidelines, including setbacks, height, lot coverage, and design requirements. The
project does require approval of a minor exception to permit security fencing over the maximum
fence height limit. The project site is located within the City limits, is under five acres, and is

surrounded by existing industrial development and City infrastructure. Each of the five environmental
factors required to be reviewed under In-Fill Development (15332) exemption are outlined below:
a) Traffic: A Trip Generation Analysis (Dudek; August 7, 2018) was prepared for the project
which determined that the number of trips generated by the project would not create a
significant impact. Trip rates were calculated based on the Assisted Living (254) trip
rates from the Institute of Transportation Engineers Trip Generation Manual (10th
Addition (ITE, 2017)). It was determined that the project would generate 187 total daily
trips and 19 peak hour trips, which is below the 50 peak hours trips that would
necessitate a Traffic Impact Analysis.
b) Noise: A Noise Impact Analysis (Dudek; August 14, 2018) was prepared for the project.
The analysis determined that the project would comply with the construction and
operational noise and vibration requirements with the installation of a temporary noise
barrier during the construction phases of the project. Conditions of Approval have been
added to the Resolution of Approval outlining the required measures to reduce the
construction noise and vibration impacts to comply with noise level limitations.
c) Air Quality: An Air Quality and Green House Gas Analysis (Dudek: May 25, 2018) were
prepared for the project. The analysis determined that emissions associated with
construction and operation of the project would be below South Coast Air Quality
Maintenance District (SCAQMD) thresholds for both Air Quality and Green House
Gases.
d) Water Quality: A Water Quality Control exhibit (Pacific Coast Civil Inc.; July 18, 2019)
was prepared for the project. It was also determined through the review of the project’s
preliminary water quality plan that the project would not result in a significant impact
related to the water quality of the site or surrounding properties.
e) Biological: A Biological Resource Assessment (BRA) (TeraCor; January 18, 2019) was
prepared for the vacant project site. The BRA concludes that sensitive plant or wildlife
species, including any sensitive invertebrates, are not expected to occur within the area
given the condition of the site and developed nature of the surrounding land uses. The
proposed project, therefore, would not affect any sensitive species that would require
further investigation.
5. Based upon the findings and conclusions set forth in paragraphs 1, 2, 3, and 4 above,
this Commission hereby approves the application subject to each and every condition set forth in the
Conditions of Approval, attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference.
6. The Secretary to this Commission shall certify to the adoption of this Resolution.

SUBJECT: HILLSIDE DESIGN REVIEW (MODIFICATION) DRC2019-00228 - NH
WEAVER LANE, LLC - A request to modify Engineering Condition of Approval
#2 related to Hillside Design Review DRC2016-00377 for an approved 26-lot
subdivision on 18.2 acres of land located on the east side of Carnelian Street
and north of Hillside Road in the Very Low (VL) Residential District (.1–2
Dwelling Units Per Acre) in the Hillside Overlay District and the Equestrian
Overlay District. Related files: Tentative Tract Map SUBTT20042, Hillside
Design Review DRC2016-00377, Variance DRC2016-00748, Variance
DRC2017-00014, and Tree Removal Permit DRC2016-00376. On June
14, 2017, a Mitigated Negative Declaration was adopted by the Planning
Commission for the project. California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA)
Section 15162(a) provides that no further environmental review or Negative
Declaration is required for subsequent projects or minor revisions to projects
within the scope of a previous Negative Declaration.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the Planning Commission approve Hillside Design Review (Modification)
DRC2019-00228 through the adoption of the attached Resolution and Conditions of Approval.
PROJECT BACKGROUND:
The Planning Commission approved Tentative Tract Map SUBTT20042 on June 14, 2017, for the
subdivision of 18.2 acres of land into 26 lots for the purpose of constructing 26 single-family
residences. The approval included Hillside Design Review DRC2016-00377 for the architectural
review of the 26 single-family residences, Variance DRC2016-00748 to reduce the required lot
depth of Lots #11 - #15, Variance DRC2017-00014 to reduce the rear yard setback on Lot #16
and Tree Removal Permit DRC2016-00377 for the removal of 7 heritage trees.
The Conditions of Approval related to the above referenced tentative tract map and hillside design
review included an Engineering Department condition of approval (Engineering Condition of
Approval #2) requiring the undergrounding of the above-ground public utilities along the project’s
Carnelian Street right-of-way. As approved, the condition of approval states, in part, that the utility
undergrounding shall be from the first offsite utility pole to the north to the first offsite utility pole
to the south of the project site. The applicant contacted the City to discuss modifying the utility
undergrounding condition of approval to permit them to relocate an existing on-site utility pole 25
feet to the north, to be located at the southwest corner of the single-family residence at 5353
Carnelian Street. The next existing utility pole is approximately 160 feet to the north of the project

site and would greatly increase the undergrounding costs and would increase disturbance to
private improvements within the public right-of-way of the two adjacent single-family residences.
SITE DESCRIPTION:
The mostly vacant 18.2-acre project site is located at the northeast corner of Carnelian Street and
Cherry Lane, about 665 feet north of Hillside Road. The site is generally rectangular in shape
with dimensions of about 663 feet (north-south) by 1,324 feet (east-west). A full description of
the project site and surrounding uses is included in the approved staff report dated June 14, 2017
for Tentative Tract Map SUBTT20042, which is included as Exhibit B to this staff report.
ANALYSIS:
A. Discussion: The Engineering Department supports the applicant’s request to modify
Condition of Approval #2, to permit the utility undergrounding to be from the first relocated
utility pole to the north to the first existing utility pole to the south. The modification to
Engineering Condition #2 requires Planning Commission review to provide the adjacent
property owners the opportunity to comment on the proposed change. The applicant has
contacted the neighboring property owner at 5353 Carnelian Street, who has stated that
they are accepting of the proposed change related to the approval of Tentative Tract Map
SUBTT20042 and Hillside Design Review DRC2016-00377. The proposed change
complies with the intent of Planning Commission Resolution 87-96, to underground the
above-ground utilities adjacent new development. As approved, Engineering Department
Condition of Approval #2 states:
“Per Resolution No. 87-96: All developments, except those contained in
section 7 and others specifically waived by the Planning Commission, shall be
responsible for undergrounding all existing overhead utility lines including the
removal of the related supporting poles adjacent to and within the limits of a
development. The existing overhead utilities (telecommunications and
electrical) on the project side of Carnelian Street shall be undergrounded from
the first pole off-site of the north project boundary to the first pole off-site south
of the project boundary, prior to public improvement acceptance or occupancy,
whichever occurs first.”
With approval of Design Review (Modification) DRC2019-00228, Engineering Department
Condition of Approval #2 will be modified to state that the undergrounding will be from the first
relocated (utility) pole to the north rather than the first (utility) pole offsite:
“Per Resolution No. 87-96: All developments, except those contained in
section 7 and others specifically waived by the Planning Commission, shall be
responsible for undergrounding all existing overhead utility lines including the
removal of the related supporting poles adjacent to and within the limits of a
development. The existing overhead utilities (telecommunications and
electrical) on the project side of Carnelian Street shall be undergrounded from
the first relocated pole off-site of the north project boundary to the first pole off-
site south of the project boundary, prior to public improvement acceptance or
occupancy, whichever occurs first.”

B. Design Review Committee: Tentative Tract Map SUBTT20042 and Hillside Design Review
DRC2016-00377 was reviewed and approved as presented by the Design Review
Committee (DRC) on March 14, 2017. The subject Design Review (Modification) DRC2019-
00228 does not require review by the Design Review Committee.
C. Public Art: The public art requirement does not apply to residential projects with a density
equal to or less than four dwelling units per acre. The approved project has a density of 1.43
dwelling units per acre and is thus exempt from the public art requirement.
D. Environmental Assessment: Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”)
and the City’s local CEQA Guidelines, the City adopted a Negative Declaration on June 14,
2017, in connection with the City’s approval of Tentative Tract Map SUBTT20042 and
Hillside Design Review DRC2016-00377. Pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15162, no
subsequent or supplemental EIR or Negative Declaration is required in connection with
subsequent discretionary approvals of the same project unless: (i) substantial changes are
proposed to the project that indicate new or more severe impacts on the environment; (ii)
substantial changes have occurred in the circumstances under which the project was
previously reviewed that indicates new or more severe environmental impacts; or (iii) new
important information shows the project will have new or more severe impacts than
previously considered; or (iv) additional mitigation measures are now feasible to reduce
impacts or different mitigation measures can be imposed to substantially reduce impacts.
Staff has evaluated Design Review (Modification) DRC2019-00228 and concludes that
substantial changes to the project or the circumstances surrounding the project have not
occurred which would create new or more severe impacts than those evaluated in the
previous Negative Declaration. The project scope is to modify an Engineering Department
condition of approval related to utility undergrounding. Staff further finds that the project will
not have one or more significant effects not discussed in the previous Negative Declaration,
not have more severe effects than previously analyzed and that additional or different
mitigation measures are not required to reduce the impacts of the project to a level of less
than significant. The proposed modification of the approved Engineering Department
condition related to utility undergrounding will reduce the impact on the environment by
reducing the amount of existing public right-of-way that will need to be disturbed to install
the underground utilities. Therefore, pursuant to CEQA, staff recommends that the Planning
Commission concur with the staff determination that no additional environmental review is
required in connection with the City’s consideration of the Design Review (Modification)
DRC2019-00228.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The project site currently is assessed an annual property tax. A percentage of this annual tax is
shared with the City. The proposed development will increase the value of the project site and the
City’s annual share of the property tax will increase accordingly. The project proponent will also
be responsible for paying one-time impact fees. These fees are intended to address the increased
demand for City services due to the proposed project. The following types of services that these
impact fees would support include the following: library services, transportation infrastructure,
drainage infrastructure, animal services, police, parks, and community and recreation services.

COUNCIL GOAL(S) ADDRESSED:
The 2019 City Council Goals do not specifically address any topics that would directly impact the
proposed project. The General Plan, though, includes Goal LU-2 to facilitate sustainable and
attractive infill development that complements surrounding neighborhoods. The project is for the
infill development of 26 single-family residences on 18.2 acres of land and will be of similar size
and layout to the surrounding single-family development.
CORRESPONDENCE:
This item was advertised as a public hearing with a regular page legal advertisement in the Inland
Valley Daily Bulletin newspaper, the property was posted, and notices were mailed to all property
owners within a 660-foot radius of the project site. To date, no comment/correspondence has
been received in response to these notifications.

HILLSIDE OVERLAY DISTRICT AND THE EQUESTRIAN OVERLAY
DISTRICT, THE HILLSIDE OVERLAY DISTRICT AND THE EQUESTRIAN
OVERLAY DISTRICT; AND MAKING FINDINGS IN SUPPORT THEREOF –
APN: 1061-261-01.
A. Recitals.
1. NH Weaver Lane, LLC filed an application for the approval of Hillside Design Review
(Modification) DRC2019-00228, as described in the title of this Resolution. Hereinafter in this
Resolution, the subject Hillside Design Review (Modification) request is referred to as "the application."
2. On the 13th day of November 2019, the Planning Commission of the City of
Rancho Cucamonga conducted a 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 f ound, 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 the substantial evidence presented to this Commission during the
above-referenced public hearing on November 13, 2019, including written and oral staff reports,
together with public testimony, this Commission hereby specifically finds as follows:

d. As approved, Engineering Department Condition of Approval #2 currently states:
“Per Resolution No. 87-96: All developments, except those contained in section 7
and others specifically waived by the Planning Commission, shall be responsible for
undergrounding all existing overhead utility lines including the removal of the related
supporting poles adjacent to and within the limits of a development. The existing
overhead utilities (telecommunications and electrical) on the project side of
Carnelian Street shall be undergrounded from the first pole off-site of the north
project boundary to the first pole off-site south of the project boundary, prior to
public improvement acceptance or occupancy, whichever occurs first.”
e. As modified, Engineering Department Condition of Approval #2 will state:
“Per Resolution No. 87-96: All developments, except those contained in section 7 and
others specifically waived by the Planning Commission, shall be responsible for
undergrounding all existing overhead utility lines including the removal of the related
supporting poles adjacent to and within the limits of a development. The existing overhead
utilities (telecommunications and electrical) on the project side of Carnelian Street shall be

pole off-site south of the project boundary, prior to public improvement acceptance or
occupancy, whichever occurs first.”
f. No other changes to Hillside Design Review DRC2016-00377are proposed.
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. The approved project is consistent with the General Plan. The General Plan Land Use
designation of the project site is Very Low (VL) District. The Very Low residential land use designation
is intended for the development of detached, very-low-density residential units on 20,000 square foot
lots or larger, with private yard and private parking. The project is for the development of single-family
residences on minimum 20,000 square foot lots with an overall density of 1.43 dwelling units per acre.
The proposed modification of Engineering Department Condition of Approval #2 related to utility
undergrounding will not impact the project’s consistency with the General Plan.
b. The approved use is in accord with the objective of the Development Code and the
purposes of the district in which the site is located. The Development Code states that the Very Low
(VL) District is for the development of very-low-density residential use, with a minimum lot size of
20,000 square feet and a maximum residential density of up to 2-units per gross acre. The proposed
lots have a minimum lot size of 20,000 square feet with an overall density of 1.43 dwelling units per
acre. The proposed modification of Engineering Department Condition of Approval #2 related to utility
undergrounding will not impact the project’s consistency with the Development Code.
c. The approved use is in compliance with each of the applicable provisions of the
Development Code. The approved project included two variances, one for a reduction in the 200-foot
lot depth requirement (DRC2016-00748) for Lots #11 - #15, and one for a rear yard setback reduction
(DRC2017-00014) for Lot #16. The proposed modification of Engineering Department Condition of
Page 183
PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 19-72
HILLSIDE DESIGN REVIEW (MODIFICATION) DRC2019-00228
NH WEAVER LANE, LLC
NOVEMBER 13, 2019

Approval #2 related to utility undergrounding will not impact the project’s consistency with the
Development Code.
d. The approved use, together with the conditions applicable thereto, will not be
detrimental to the public health, safety, or welfare, or materially injurious to properties or improvements
in the vicinity. An environmental review was completed for the project which concluded that with the
proposed mitigation measures, the project would have a less than significant impact on the
environment. The proposed modification of Engineering Department Condition of Approval #2 related
to utility undergrounding will reduce impacts to the surrounding residential land uses as the required
utility undergrounding will impact less area of the existing public right-of-way.
4. Based upon the facts and information contained in the proposed Mitigated Negative
Declaration, together with all written and oral reports included for the environmental assessment for the
application, the Planning Commission finds that there is no substantial evidence that the project will
have a significant effect upon the environment and recommends that the City Council adopt a Mitigated
Negative Declaration based upon the findings as follows:
a. Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) and the City’s local
CEQA Guidelines, the City adopted a Negative Declaration on June 14, 2017, in connection with the
City’s approval of Tentative Tract Map SUBTT20042 and Hillside Design Review DRC2016-00377.
Pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15162, no subsequent or supplemental EIR or Negative
Declaration is required in connection with subsequent discretionary approvals of the same project
unless: (i) substantial changes are proposed to the project that indicate new or more severe impacts on
the environment; (ii) substantial changes have occurred in the circumstances under which the project
was previously reviewed that indicates new or more severe environmental impacts; or (iii) new
important information shows the project will have new or more severe impacts than previously
considered; or (iv) additional mitigation measures are now feasible to reduce impacts or different
mitigation measures can be imposed to substantially reduce impacts.
b. The Planning Commission finds, in connection with Design Review (Modification)
DRC2019-00228, that substantial changes to the project or the circumstances surrounding the project
have not occurred which would create new or more severe impacts than those evaluated in the
previous Negative Declaration The project scope is to modify an Engineering Department condition of
approval related to unity undergrounding. Staff further finds that the project will not have one or more
significant effects not discussed in the previous Negative Declaration, not have more severe effects
than previously analyzed and that additional or different mitigation measures are not required to reduce
the impacts of the project to a level of less than significant. The proposed modification of the approved
Engineering Department condition related to utility undergrounding will reduce the impact on the
environment by reducing the amount of existing public right-of-way that will need to be disturbed to
install the underground utilities.
c. Based on these findings and all evidence in the record, the Planning Commission

COMPANY - A request to develop the site with four (4) industrial/warehouse
buildings totaling 240,710 square feet within the General Industrial (GI) District,
located at the northeast corner of Archibald Avenue and 7th Street – APN: 0209-
211-24. Related File: Tentative Parcel Map SUBTPM20006. A Mitigated
Negative Declaration of environmental impacts has been prepared for
consideration.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that Tentative Parcel Map SUBTPM20006 and Design Review DRC2018-
00529 be Continued to the Planning Commission public hearing on December 11, 2019.
PROJECT REVIEW BACKGROUND:
The subject applications were duly advertised for the Planning Commission public hearing that
was scheduled for November 13, 2019. Associated with these applications is an Initial
Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration (IS/MND) that was circulated for review and comment on
October 9, 2019.
The City sends 15 CDs to the State Clearinghouse as required by the California Environmental
Quality Act (CEQA) and additional CDs to various other agencies and entities, and members of
the public. These CDs contain the IS/MND, the Notice of Intent, and associated technical
documents. One of the recipients informed Staff that the CDs were missing some information.
Staff believes this was due to a technical error with the preparation of the CDs and assumed that
the other CDs that were sent to other recipients were likely missing the same information.
To comply with CEQA, new CDs were prepared and sent to the State Clearinghouse (and the
other entities) on November 6, 2019. Because of this issue, the City cannot conduct the public

ANALYSIS:
A. Project Overview: The applicant is requesting to construct a 4,118 square foot two-story,
single-family residence along with an attached three-car 771 square foot garage and 374
square feet of porches and decks on the 15,430 square foot project site. The proposed
grading includes up to 8 feet of cut, which necessitates that the project be reviewed and
approved by the Planning Commission (The maximum cut of fill that can be permitted
adminstratively by the Planning Director is 5 feet).
The proposed residence has a craftsman design theme, which includes a concrete tile roof,
horizontal wood siding, shake siding and a river rock wainscot. The proposed 4,118 square
foot residence consists of a 2,352 square foot upper level, which includes the main living
area and master bedroom, and a 1,766 square lower level, which includes 3 bedrooms and
a bonus room. The upper and lower levels each include decks along the south elevations.
The 771 square foot three-car garage is located on the upper level of the residence, with
the garage doors facing Camino Predera. The driveway has a maximum grade of 15
percent. Hillside Development Standard 17.122.020.C.1.d. states that driveways with
grades up to 20 percent are permitted when they are aligned with the natural contours of
the lot and are necessary to achieve site design goals.
The project complies with the minimum current development requirements of the Low (L)
Residential District and the Hillside Overlay District except that the project includes retaining
walls over 4 feet in height which necessitates the approval of a Minor Exception for wall
height. The following table provide an overview of project compliance with the Development
Code (it should be noted that the City is in the process of developing new development
criteria for Camino Predera):

An existing combination wall and wrought iron fence is located along the west property line
that was constructed with the development of the single-family residence to the west. The
applicant proposes an up to 4-foot retaining wall topped by a 5-foot wrought-iron fence along
the east property line. A 6-foot-high wrought fence is proposed along the south elevation.
The proposed perimeter walls are in keeping with Hillside Design Guideline Section
17.122.020.E., which encourages the use of open-view fencing and having walls that
integrate the materials and colors used of the residence.
The proposed grading design includes 784 cubic yards of import, which is necessary to
construct the foundation of the residence. The foundation of the residence is stepped with
the existing grade, with the upper pad at an elevation of 1,296 feet and the lower garage
pad at an elevation of 1,286, in conformance with Hillside Design Section 17.122.020.D.1.a.,
to terrace the building to follow the slope.
Hillside Development Section 17.122.020.D.1.C. requires that residences in the Hillside
Overlay District be designed to fit within a 30-foot high building envelope. The applicant has
provided two north-south and two east-west cross-sections with building envelopes
demonstrating compliance with the 30-foot height requirement. The height of the residence
ranges from approximately 10-feet and 6-inches, along the east side of the residence, to 6-
feet and 11-inches, along the west side of the residence, as measured above curb face on
Camino Predera.
The proposed landscaping is designed to comply with Hillside Development Section
17.122.020.F., including the installation of a permanent irrigation system landscaping to
protect slopes from erosion and planting shrubs to soften the views of the downslope
elevations. The project is not within the High Fire Hazard Zone or within a wildland-urban
interface area. The proposed landscaping also complies with the front yard landscape
requirements, including reducing hardscape to less than 50 percent of the front yard area.
The rear yard includes slope planting to prevent erosion.
Neighborhood Concerns and Staff Analysis: Over the years, residents along Camino Predera
have raised concerns related to the development of remaining undeveloped lots of Tract 10035.
The overriding concern has been that the proposed residences are out of character with the
existing neighborhood based on building size/massing, building height and building width (side
setbacks). These same issues were raised by the residents related to the proposed project at the
June 10, 2019, Neighborhood Meeting and again at the October 15, 2019, Design Review
Committee meeting.
As a result of these persistent neighborhood concerns, and in response to the subject
development application, staff attempted to quantify certain characteristics, namely building size
and massing, in order to identify what might be considered a compatible development within the
neighborhood. To accomplish this, staff reviewed building permits issued by the City for each
property within the tract. Where building permits were not available (in two instances), data was
used from the Property Information Management System (PIMS) hosted by the San Bernardino
County Assessor’s office. Staff notes that building size referenced in this report is inclusive of
garages, patios, porches, etc., to account for massing which has been identified as a primary
concern of the neighborhood. All data gathered regarding building square footage is approximate
and has been organized into a spreadsheet which provides the average size of residences in the
tract currently, as well as the average size of houses by decade since the tract was developed.

November 13, 2019

Further, since development along the southside of Camino Predera has been of particular
concern to neighborhood residents, data collected by staff also provides the average size of
residences along the south side of Camino Predera. This spreadsheet is included with this report
as Exhibit E.
The applicant has provided documentation showing two efforts to address concerns. First, the
building could have been designed so that the top elevation is 14 feet above the street, whereas
the applicant is only proposing 10 feet 6 inches above the street. Second, the eave has been
truncated on the east and west, reducing the profile of the roof.
Staff notes that while the Development Code does not provide an objective definition of the term
“compatibility,” the proposed development requires discretionary review by the Planning
Commission pursuant to Sections 17.16.140.B.1 and Section 17.122.020.G.i of the Development
Code. As such, certain findings are required to be made, including a finding that a proposed
project must be consistent with the General Plan (Section 17.16.140.F.1). While staff
acknowledges that height and massing could be even greater, staff feels that the applicant could
further reduce the roof height. As such, staff does not support the project for the following reasons:
1. Building Size/Massing: Tract 10035 was approved by Rancho Cucamonga City
Council in March 1985 and comprises a total of 38 lots. As of 2019, 21 lots within the
tract had been developed, with 3 more lots having been approved for development as
recent as 2018 and 2019. 14 lots remain undeveloped, each of which are located on
the south side of Camino Predera. Of the built residences in Tract 10035, 7 were built
in the 1980s, 1 was built in the 1990s, 13 were built in the 2000s, and 3 houses have
been approved in the 2010s, one of which is currently under construction. Generally,
the average size of houses in Tract 10035 have increased from 3,128 square feet in
the 1980s to an average of 4,237 square feet for those projects approved in the 2010s.
This increase in size over time would seem to support certain neighborhood concerns
that recent development has been out of character for the neighborhood.
Based off building permits and PIMS data, which again, for the purposes of this review
includes the cumulative building square footage of garages, patios and porches, etc.,
the average sized residence in Tract 10035 currently is approximately 3,912 square
feet. Further, the average size for residences along the south side of Camino Predera,
is slightly larger at 3,918 square feet. At 4,889 square feet of living and garage area,
the proposed residence is larger than the average residence in the tract (3,912 square
feet), larger than the average sized residence along the south side of Camino Predera
(3,918 square feet), and larger than the average residence approved during the 2010s
(4,237 square feet). Notably, when including porches and decks to be consistent with
the methodology used in reviewing building permits and PIMS data (374 square feet
proposed), the proposed residence increases to 5,263 square feet. Further, the
massing of the proposed residence is accentuated by the height of the roof peak which
is 10 feet and 6 inches above the curb face on Camino Predera. Staff has
recommended to the applicant that the appearance of massing could be mitigated by
increasing the front setback, thus reducing the overall height of the structure as seen
from Camino Predera and/or by modifying the roof design to reduce the height of the
roof peak.

2. Building Width/Setbacks: The project proposes to construct the proposed residence at
the minimum side yard setbacks of 5 and 10 feet, which conflicts with the intent of
Hillside Design Section 17.122.020.D.2.a, which explicitly encourages increased
setbacks to avoid overbuilding and crowding of structures, etc. The existing residence
to the west is also constructed at the minimum side yard setback, increasing the
appearance of overbuilding along the Camino Predera streetscape. It should be noted
that staff is currently considering amendments to the development code to increase
minimum setbacks and reduce building height maximums within the Camino Predera
neighborhood in a direct effort to address persistent neighborhood concerns regarding
these development standards. It is anticipated that these code changes will be ready
for public hearings within the coming months.
3. General Plan Compatibility: Staff asserts that the project as proposed is also not
compatible with General Plan Policy LU-2.4, which aims to “promote complementary
infill development, rehabilitation, and re-use that contributes positively to the
surrounding residential neighborhood areas.” As evidenced by comments received
from neighborhood residents at the Neighborhood Meeting on June 10, 2019, as well
as comments received at the Design Review Committee meeting on October 22, 2019,
and considering long-standing concerns regarding the scale of development proposed
both within the tract and along the south side of Camino Predera, the proposed project
does not meet the qualitative intent of General Plan Policy LU-2.4 which aims to
promote development which contributes “positively” to the surrounding residential
neighborhood. Staff acknowledges that the proposed project will develop a vacant lot
which might provide an economic benefit to the property owner, however building
permit and PIMS data gathered for this report reflect that the average size of
residences within Tract 10035 have increased since the tract was approved in the
1980s, and that the proposed project is larger than the average residence in the tract
which would further exacerbate this trend. Staff contends that this noted growth in
average house size correlates to the persistent neighborhood concerns.
B. Minor Exception (DRC2018-00473): The maximum permitted retaining wall height is 4 feet
within the Hillside Overlay District, with stepped retaining walls permitted to have a
maximum height of 3-feet with a minimum 3-foot separation between the stepped walls. The
project includes retaining walls up to 5 feet-2 inches in height. The additional retaining wall
height is necessary to lower the height of the foundation of the residence in order to reduce
the overall height of the structure as seen from Camino Predera. The applicant has filed
Minor Exception DRC2018-00473 requesting the additional retaining wall height. A Minor
Exception permits an additional 2 feet above the maximum permitted wall height. While staff
supports the applicant’s intent to lower the height of the proposed single-family residence,
staff cannot support the proposed Minor Exception as the project is not consistent with the
intent of the General Plan to “promote complementary infill development.” The findings of
facts below do not support the necessary findings, which are required by the Development
Code:
Finding: The Minor Exception is consistent with the General Plan or any applicable
specific plan or Development Agreement.
Fact: The proposed Minor Exception to permit additional retaining wall height is not
consistent with the General Plan. The General Plan encourages complementary infill
development (General Plan Policy LU-2.4). The related Hillside Design Review (DRC2017-

PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT

00244) is for a 4,118 square foot single-family residence which is not complementary to
surrounding neighborhood as it is significantly larger than the average house size within
Tract 10035 (based on the existing and approved residences within the Tract 10035).
Finding: The proposed development is compatible with existing and proposed land
uses in the surrounding area.
Fact: The proposed single-family residences is not compatible with the existing and
proposed land uses in the surrounding area as it is significantly larger than the other
residences in the same tract (Tract 10035) and is proposed to be constructed at the
minimum side yard setbacks, creating the appearance of overbuilding the lot.
Finding: The proposed exception to the specific development standard(s) is
necessary to allow creative design solutions compatible with the desires of the
community and/or to accommodate unique site conditions.
Fact: The proposed increase in the maximum permitted retaining wall height is necessary
to lower the overall height of the structure as seen from Camino Predera. Staff supports
increasing the retaining wall heights on the project site to further reduce the height of the
residence as seen from Camino Predera.
Finding: The granting of the minor exception will not constitute a grant of special
privilege inconsistent with the limitations on other properties classified in the same
district, and will not be detrimental to public health, safety or welfare, or materially
injurious to properties or improvements in the vicinity.
Fact: The granting of the minor exception will constitute a grant of special privilege as the
additional retaining wall height is related to a proposed single-family residence which is not
complementary to the surrounding neighborhood as it is significantly larger than the average
size residence within Tract 10035 and is constructed to the minimum setbacks. The City has
been contacted by property owners in the surrounding neighborhood who are opposed to
the project based on the size of the proposed residence, the height of the residence above
curb face on Camino Predera and the width of the project (built at minimum setbacks).
C. Design Review Committee: The project was reviewed by the Design Review Committee
(Guglielmo, Wimberly and McIntosh) on October 22, 2019. A resident read a letter in
opposition to the project during the public comment portion of the meeting. Staff presented
the project and outlined the reasons why the project was not being supported as presented
including lack of conformance with the intent of the Hillside Design Guidelines,
neighborhood compatibility, and inconsistency with the General Plan. Staff also noted that
the side elevations of the proposed residence should be enhanced by adding additional
horizontal siding to match the front and rear elevations. The Committee stated that they
were generally in support of the architecture of the proposed residence, but in the context
of this specific location, they understood the neighbor's concerns and recommended that
the project be forwarded to the Planning Commission without a recommendation for review
by the full Planning Commission. The applicant did agree to add the requested horizontal
siding to the side elevations of the residence to match the front and rear elevations. Those
changes are reflected in the building elevations attached to this report (Exhibit B).

D. Neighborhood Meeting: The applicant held a neighborhood meeting in the Rains Room at
City Hall on June 10, 2019, with approximately 20 persons in attendance. The applicant
provided a general overview of the project and fielded questions. The attendees raised
concerns related to the building height as seen from Camino Predera, the width of the
residence (built to the minimum 5- and 10-foot setbacks), and the size of the residence as
compared to older homes along Camino Predera. The applicant responded that lowering
the residence would steepen the driveway to the point that it would be difficult to navigate,
that reducing the width of the residence would make it difficult to construct a 3-car garage
and that the size of the residence is in keeping with the existing residences most recently
constructed along Camino Predera. The neighbors stated that the size of the recently
constructed residences along Camino Predera were not in keeping with the intent of Hillside
Design regulations and were too large compared to the older residences constructed along
the street.
E. Public Art: Residential development projects of fewer than 4 units are exempt from the public
art requirement.
F. Environmental Assessment: The Planning Department Staff has determined that the project
is categorically exempt from the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act
(CEQA) and the City’s CEQA Guidelines. The project qualifies as a Class 3 exemption under
State CEQA Guidelines Section 15303 (New Construction or Conversion of Small
Structures), which permits the construction of a single-family residence in a residential zone.
The project is for the construction of a single-family residence in a residential zone and there
is no substantial evidence that the project may have a significant effect on the environment.
The project also qualifies as a Class 5 exemption under State CEQA Guidelines Section
15305, which covers minor alterations in land use limitations including allowing additional
wall height due to onsite grades.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The project site currently is assessed by an annual property tax. A percentage of this annual tax
is shared with the City. The proposed development will increase the value of the project site and
the City’s annual share of the property tax will increase accordingly. The project proponent also
will be responsible for paying one-time impact fees. These fees are intended to address the
increased demand for City services due to the proposed project. The following types of services
that these impact fees would support include the following: library services, transportation
infrastructure, drainage infrastructure, animal services, police, parks, and community and
recreation services.
COUNCIL GOAL(S) ADDRESSED:
Although a specific current City Council goal does not apply to the project, the project is not
consistent with the goals and policies of the General Plan and the objectives of the Development
Code. The Land Use element within the General Plan (Chapter 2) encourages infill development
that facilitates sustainable and attractive development that complements the surrounding
neighborhood. The proposed single-family residence is significantly larger than those in the
surrounding neighborhood, and the proposed residence is being built to the minimum side yard
setbacks, increase the appearance of overbuilding the lot.
