Commissioner Oaxaca agreed that could be a possible solution. Commissioner Dopp concurred with Commissioner Oaxaca about the noise concern. He also asked if the proposed standards for hours of operation would apply to new car washes only or existing car washes and if a change of service to an existing car wash would require a Conditional Use Permit. Ms. Nakamura replied that the new standards would apply to new car washes, but staff could look at previous car wash approvals and analyze impacts on neighboring businesses. She also stated that changes in service would require the modification of a Conditional Use Permit. Chairman Guglielmo asked how the 100-foot setback standard was determined and asked for some real - world examples of the differences in noise when using new technology. Ms. Nakamura replied that the 100-foot setback was a starting point that staff felt would reduce the potential for noise impacts, especially with the new technology available, but it could be modified if the Commission recommended the change. Commissioner Munoz asked if staff has reached out to businesses regarding the setback requirements. Ms. Nakamura replied that the new requirements would not apply to existing businesses but would apply to now car washes, any conversions of existing car washes and reiterated that the set -back requirement only applied to areas with adjacent residential uses or zones nearby.

He further stated that the environmental testing is not comprehensive because the entire project site can't be accessed due to the private roads in that area and that public safety would be an issue if the retention basin would be removed. Patrick Kaemerle from Inland Real Estate Group and owner of 4.37 acres on the eastern edge of conservation area, concurred with Mr. Marsick about the loss of property value and also suggested that testing was occurring on private property without permission. Stanton Lewis, who also spoke under Public Communications, asked for clarification on the following items: the definition of "Conservation Priority Area",, County development options; alternative options for the recreation area including a potential equestrian area or soccer fields; specific acreages that will be used for the various improvements such as the roads, green belts areas, schools, and setbacks.

DIRECTOR'S'STAFF REPORTS The following items do not legally require any public testimony, although the Chairman may open the meeting for public input. E1. Requirement for 3D Renderings, 3D Modeling and /or Virtual Tours for Proposed Projects Candyce Burnett, City Planner, gave the staff report and asked for feedback and direction from the i Commission about the proposed policy so that a formal policy of the new visual requirements can be written and implemented. Commissioner Wimberly stated that the staff report addressed most of the concerns he had, especially during Design Review, by enhancing the ability to see the placement of the projects themselves in relation to the project site and surrounding neighborhood. Commissioner Oaxaca concurred with Commissioner Wimberly and added that he is satisfied with the proposed timing threshold of when additional materials need to be provided, but asked staff how these new visual 3D-renderings and models will translate visually and be presented to the Planning Page 2of7 NOVEMBER 28, 2018 HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMISSION AND PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES RANCHO CUCAMONGA CIVIC CENTER COUNCIL CHAMBERS 10500 CIVIC CENTER DRIVE RANCHO CUCAMONGA, CALIFORNIA Commission. He also asked if there has been any feedback from developers about the proposed formalized policy. Ms. Burnett replied the presentation would depend on what type of rendering is required and received. For example, a computerized 3D modeling or fly through could be presented in a PowerPoint format and a 3D rendering could still be presented in the agenda packet. She also stated that the feedback from developers has generally been accepting once they understand that it is something unique to the community and it helps the public and the Commission understand and visualize the project. Commissioner Dopp said that it is a great idea, not only for the Planning Commission but for the public to help alleviate concerns. He asked if the specific type of additional visual materials provided would be up to the discretion of the developer or of staff. Ms. Burnett replied that depending on the unique nature of each project, it would be up to staff to determine which enhanced visual elements would benefit the Commission and public the most as the projects are presented. Chairman Guglielmo commented on the currently proposed threshold of multi -family developments of 4 units and asked about potentially increasing it to 5+ units or since a development of 1-4 units is considered a smaller development. He also asked if this policy would be retroactive. Ms. Burnett stated that the threshold of 4 units was chosen because the City is facing a larger number of infill developments which are generally going to be smaller developments and the concern was regarding how these infill projects would fit in with the community. However, it is up to the Commission if they would like to raise the threshold of multi -family units. She further said that this policy would be applied moving forward or as deemed necessary as projects move forward as part of the completeness process per the existing Development Code provisions. Nick Ghirelli, Assistant City Attorney, stated that the policy will be implemented as part of the application checklist, therefore it cannot be applied retroactively to projects already deemed complete. Chairman Guglielmo asked how the compatibility of the project to the surrounding areas will be shown and if there were any plans to provide a similar City-wide 3D map for Rancho Cucamonga that is used in Pasadena (Exhibit A). Page 3 of 7 IV V V CIVIDr-M LOB LV 10 HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMISSION AND PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES RANCHO CUCAMONGA CIVIC CENTER COUNCIL CHAMBERS 10500 CIVIC CENTER DRIVE RANCHO CUCAMONGA, CALIFORNIA Ms. Burnett answered that the City of Pasadena was building on an existing 3D modeling database that Rancho Cucamonga doesn't have, however the applicant will be asked to look at the compatibility outside their parcel. Commissioner Wimberly asked if the Commission would have access to the digital images of the new visual materials when the agenda packets are received. Ms. Burnett replied that anything that is part of the agenda. packet will be available to view, but opportunities to provide more digital data will be looked at moving forward. Ms. Burnett asked if there was any additional direction on the threshold for the minimum number of units for multi -family developments. Commissioners Wimberly, Oaxaca, and Dopp concurred that they are in agreement with staff to keep the minimum threshold at 4 units for multi -family developments. F. PUBLIC HEARINGS/PLANNING COMMISSION. The following items have been advertised and/or posted as public hearings as required by law. The Chairman will open the public hearing to receive testimony. All such opinions shall be limited to 5 minutes per individual or less as determined by the Chairman. Please sign in after speaking. F1.

Page 4 of 7 mVValvior-M LOB ACV 10 HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMISSION AND PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES RANCHO CUCAMONGA CIVIC CENTER COUNCIL CHAMBERS 10500 CIVIC CENTER DRIVE RANCHO CUCAMONGA, CALIFORNIA Chairman Guglielmo opened the public hearing. Tracy Scott, resident, spoke against the project stating that there is too much development in the City and not enough balance between developments and open space. She cited the land adjacent to Los Osos High School, the open space at Central Park, and the proposed Time Extension site as examples of concern. Chairman Guglielmo closed the public hearing. Jun Chen, applicant, responded to the public comment and stated while he understands the concern with too much development, this specific project is not a high -density development and consists of 13 single-family homes. Additionally, he stated that the project will be beneficial to the neighbors with the installation of a traffic light and the enhancements to the storm drain system. Commissioner Wimberly said he has no issues with the Time Extension and Commissioner Oaxaca and Chairman Guglielmo concurred. Commissioner Dopp asked what the process would be if the Time Extension is denied. Mr. Van der Zwaag replied that the map would expire and the since the developer cannot build without an approved map, they would have to start the process from the beginning. Moved by Oaxaca, seconded by Wimberly, carried 4-0-1 (Munoz absent) to adopt the Resolution approving Time Extension DRC2018-00816 as presented by staff. G.

Denise Garzaro, a homeowner on Red Hill, expressed her support for the project and stated that it will increase public safety and wellness on the west side of the City. Chairman Guglielmo asked staff how the new facility will address the need for public safety facility in the City and enhance the ability to provide services in that area of the City. Deputy Fire Chief McCliman stated that the old fire station on San Bernardino Road was built in 1947 and is outdated for today's needs. The change of location will decrease their response time by 30-45 seconds in that area which consists of some neighborhoods that are difficult to access. Also, having the broader range of services with both a fire station and police station at the same location will a positive service to the City. Police Chief Donnie Mahoney also addressed the Commission and stated one of the benefits for the location of the proposed new station would be the ability for citizens to come in during normal business (8:00am to 5:00pm) for services. The current police station at City Hall is at full capacity and the new proposed facili will be the "Central Station" and this station will be called the "West End Station" Page 4 of 7 IVVVGIVICSGK 1&49 ACV 10 HISTORIC PRESERVATION CO-M.MISSION AND PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES RANCHO CUCAMONGA CIVIC CENTER COUNCIL CHAMBERS 10500 CIVIC CENTER DRIVE RANCHO CUCAMONGA, CALIFORNIA Chairman Guglielmo closed the public hearing. Commissioner Munoz stated that the aging station replacement will be a better benefit to the entire area with the expanded service. He noted public facilities are allowed in this area of the City and the project meets all requirements and all issues have been addressed adequately. He supports the project. Commissioner Wimberly concurred and stated that the partnership with the City, Fire and Police together is a positive enhancement and the location of the facility is a good use of the site and could reduce the crime in that area. Commissioner Oaxaca thanked both departments for the great concept of a joint building and services and that it sends a great message to the residents that the first responders are truly partners in our City. Chairman Guglielmo agreed and noted that response times are critical and that this will help reduce those times. Moved by Munoz, seconded by Wimberly, carried 4-0 to adopt the proposed Mitigated Negative Declaration of environmental impacts and the Resolutions approving Design Review DRC2018-00097, Conditional Use Permit DRC2018-00234 and Variance DRC2018-00162 as presented by staff. R . COMMISSION BUSINEWHISTORIC PRESERVATION AND PLANNING COMMISSION INTER -AGENCY UPDATES: Commissioner Munoz gave an update on the League of California Cities from a recent conference call where they discussed the status of key legislation results from election. He noted since Proposition 6 did not pass, revenues earmarked for transportation will be continued to be distributed. He also noted that housing in the state of California is an issue that will be coming up with the election of Newsome. He said that Governor - elect Newsome has stated that he wants at least 3 % million new homes built in California by 2025, increasing the number of new homes built annually from 100,000 to 378,000 which would be a challenge for cities throughout the state. Some reasons why it will be challenging are the CEQA regulations which makes building and development much more expensive and the resistance to building new housing coming from residents. Cities who do not build could lose their autonomy to the State.

Candyce Burnett, City Planner, responded to Commissioner Wimberly by asking for clarification if he was looking for a formal policy change or for staff to require it as part of the formal application process for projects. Commissioner Wimberly replied he would like to see the adoption of a new policy and staff to make recommendations to the developers to provide additional materials so the Commission can see how projects will look when built -out due to future projects being primarily in -fill developments. Commissioner Munoz asked for clarification from staff if this would become a requirement of the developer or of staff. Ms. Burnett stated additional requirements that have been requested by the Planning Commission can be added to the development checklist for new projects and a new policy of the Commission can be created requiring other items be provided by the developer as part of the Design Review package. She further stated that staff can bring back a policy to consider as a Director's item. Commissioner Munoz requested that staff bring back parameters as to what types of projects would require additional materials. Ms. Burnett said staff can look at the intensity of the project, such as larger residential developments exceeding a certain unit count or number of stories, that would require 3D renderings or a virtual tour and make recommendations using these specific guidelines.

PRE -APPLICATION REVIEW DRC2018-00526 - WATT COMPANIES - A request for pre - application review of a Mixed -Use project containing 120 attached townhome units, including 26 Live/Work units, on 7.93 acres in the Industrial Park (IP) District and the Haven Avenue Overlay District (HAOD), located on the south side of Foothill Boulevard east of Haven Avenue; APN: 0208-353-02. Page 1 of 4 PLANNING COMMISSION WORKSHOP MINUTES RAINS ROOM RANCHO CUCAMONGA CIVIC CENTER 10500 CIVIC CENTER DRIVE RANCHO CUCAMONGA, CALIFORNIA Tom Grahn, Associate Planner gave the staff report and presentation (copy on file). He noted site plan and architectural issues for discussion. Site plan issues include: orientation of the buildings and the live/work units to better relate to the existing office uses adjacent to the project, building massing and placement, common space areas, and better pedestrian access. Architectural issues include designing with more congruency with the surrounding buildings by providing more articulation in building planes, variations in units, roof style and fagades. Architect Alan Scales with KTGY, Mike Mann, landscape architect, and Efrem Joelson with Watt Communities were in attendance and spoke about the design highlights and architectural details of the project, specifically noting the vehicular point of access off Foothill Blvd as the basis for the design that leads into the main common area, the deliberate placement of pedestrian walkways, points of access, and orientations of the live/work units to the existing commercial uses and parking lots. Mr. Scales stated that a easement on the property and the shape of the lot was causing some design challenges. Mr. Joelson also noted there is an existing parking agreement between the three properties on the site and said they will be maintaining the required amount of parking spaces. In response to Commissioner Wimberly, he stated there are no deficiencies in the parking for the project. Commissioner Munoz said he appreciated the applicants hard work but cited concerns about the project regarding the high number of residential units versus the live/work units, the missing compatibility with the surrounding community and commercial uses, and the plotting, massing, and design of the buildings not being a good fit to the site. He stated he has seen the tendency over the last few years for developers to convert mixed use to purely residential and that a high density residential development doesn't belong in the proposed area. He also noted his concern with the recreation area's proximity to the courthouse, police department, City Hall, and Foothill Blvd. He further stated that the staff report comprehensively addresses staff concerns with the project and recommends the applicant read the staff recommendations thoroughly, address each concern and return for another pre -application workshop. Commissioner Wimberly concurred with Commissioner Munoz's comments. Vice -Chairman Guglielmo asked about the types of businesses that would be in the live/work units, if there was a demand for small business uses and if there was a demand analysis done to support the applicant's ideas. Mr. Joelson stated that he sees the project as more of a mixed use that comes from the surrounding businesses and/or the buyers having their business on the first floor and living in the floors above. He alsr confirmed that buyers could use the first -floor level as a living area if they didn't use it for work. Page 2of4 - - - - - -- -- 17 -- '- PLANNING COMMISSION WORKSHOP MINUTES . RAINS ROOM RANCHO CUCAMONGA CIVIC CENTER 10500 CIVIC CENTER DRIVE RANCHO CUCAMONGA, CALIFORNIA Vice -Chairman Guglielmo also noted concerns about the small size of the proposed green areas in relation to the size and number of units in the project and potential traffic flow problems with limited access points. He also asked if there was a shortage in parking. In response to Vice -Chairman Guglielmo, Mr. Grahn stated as part of the project the applicant would have to provide a parking study subject to peer review that will analyze the existing parking and the proposed parking, if there are deficiencies, and how they will be addressed. Mr. Joelson asked if there is support for a mostly residential development at this location. Commissioner Munoz replied that a high -density residential development does not fit in that location, especially with the current design. The Commissioners recommended they come back to a pre -application workshop. D.

He said it is the Commission's job to ensure the project meets the code and the applicant has modified the design to mitigate the protests and people have the right to develop on private property and the approval of neighbors and CC&Rs is not required. He further stated that although he's not a fan of the design, it meets the code, including the City standard for Accessory Dwelling Units, therefore, he sees no reason to deny the project. Chairman Macias said the applicant has worked with staff and City to try and get the best design while meeting requirements. He said the hillside area is a repeated issue which will come up again but believes in an individual's private property rights and their ability to maximize the economic benefit of their property.

Ron L. spoke in opposition to the project citing nearness of the facility to his property line, concern with potential noise impacts with visitors, ambulances, light impacts from cars turning into the facility because his house faces the proposed entrance, and the increased traffic. He also stated there are already four similar facilities, with one across the street, in the area and questioned the location and need for another assisted living facility.

Page 7 of 10 Vl► 1 Uor-K 1 U9 LV 10 HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMISSION AND PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES RANCHO CUCAMONGA CIVIC CENTER COUNCIL CHAMBERS 10500 CIVIC CENTER DRIVE RANCHO CUCAMONGA, CALIFORNIA Mario E. spoke in opposition to the project due to concern with declining property values and the increase of traffic accidents that are already increased with the facility across the street. Chairman Macias closed the public hearing. Mr. Sutter addressed the concerns of the speaker as follows: 1. Ambulance noise: there will be a need for ambulances, but they have mitigations in place to address this issue. For example, the facility will be using a telecare system where nurses have access to doctors right away to avoid extra calls that are not necessary, and they are amendable to continue to meet with City, Fire, and AMR to reduce noise impacts. 2. Sewer connection: They wouldn't be able to provide that access due to easement issues, but there is sewer access on 19th Street. Albert Espinoza, Assistant City Engineer, confirmed and added the interested party would have to work with CVWD. 3. Drive aisles and entrances: Designed for fire access and emergency access for the entire building and re -designing the drive aisles and driveway would result in the building to be set closer to the street. 4. Traffic and light impacts: Potential headlights on neighboring properties would only occur is someone missed the entrance to the facility and the anticipated increase in traffic is less than 50 trips and before 8:00 PM. 5. Drainage issues: The civil engineer, Tony McCreery said a 6-foot tall site wall will wrap the perimeter and will have intermittent blocks taken out to continue to allow for water flow which will help not to increase flooding in the area. In response to Chairman Macias, Mr. McCreery stated that there is an existing drainage channel on the south of the property. Commissioner Munoz said there is a more of a need for assisted living facilities due to the increase in seniors and doesn't see heightened traffic as an issue for these types of facilities. He stated that a facility that is not built cannot be compared with another facility, 'but this project has to meet the conditions of the permit and can be re -addressed if problems arise. Commissioners Wimberly and Oaxaca concurred with Commissioner Munoz and further stated the facility will be an enhancement to the community and not create any negative impacts, and the project is a permitted use in the Low -Residential District. Vice -Chairman Guglielmo stated the design is well- thought out and mitigates view obstruction and functional design. Chairman Macias said he is familiar with Sunlit Gardens across the street, it is a quiet facility and the traffic is caused by the visitors with peak hours during mid -day or late afternoon and sees a high demand for these facilities.

Linda Dalton spoke in opposition of the project citing loss of park views. Desiree and Michael Brown, residing at 6840 Plum Way, spoke against the project because of issues relating to increased traffic, less parking, public safety, increased noise, and higher levels of pollution that could be caused by the expansion.

He further stated that traffic will be minimized because the maximum capacity of the school won't be reached for another 5-7 years and he has offered the parking code to residents on Plum Way so they can use the parking lot for neighborhood events. Chairman Macias closed the public hearing. Commissioner Munoz said he appreciates everyone's feedback, there are no automatic approvals, and he has empathy for those speaking against the project and advised them to work with the school. He sees the applicant and staff have put mitigation measures in place to address the potential impacts.

DISCUSSION ITEMS PLANNING COMMISSION C1. PRE -APPLICATION REVIEW DRC2018-00434 — TRI-POINTE HOMES, INC. — A request for a Planning Commission Workshop to review a proposed multi -family development consisting of 80-unit detached residential condominiums on a site of 5.4 gross acres located within Planning Area S-20 in the Village Neighborhood (VN) Placetype of the Empire Lakes Specific Plan, at 9301 the Resort Parkway — APN: 0210-100-05. Vincent Acuna, Assistant Planner, gave the staff report and PowerPoint presentation (copy on file) and noted the discussion outline including the staff recommendations for the architectural styles Page 1 of 6 - --- -v' -v ■ v PLANNING COMMISSION WORKSHOP MIi` UT`S RANCHO CUCAMONGA CIVIC CENTER 10500 CIVIC CENTER DRIVE RANCHO CUCAMONGA, CALIFORNIA Stephanie Fabbri-Carter project manager for Tri-Pointe Homes, introduced Nick the architect from WHA. She stated the three architectural designs meet all of the specific plan setbacks and parking requirements, and they are not asking for any variances at this time. She further believes the design is cohesive with the other approved projects within the Empire Lakes community. Chairman Macias asked staff to summarize the major comments they had about the project. Mr. Acuna said the major comments are: 1. Architecture: Made a strong start, however particularly in the Art Deco style, the vernacular of the architecture needs to be strengthened. The Main Street and Contemporary styles also need to be strengthened by adding architectural elements. 2. Third -place spaces: Regarding the Grand Paseo or Zen Garden, staff would like input from Commissioners because the Specific Plan states that each space be unique for each community. 3. Setbacks: Along Loop Road, the current plotting does not meet the setbacks for that site which is a 0-10 feet requirement along a collector road so the buildings need to be closer and oriented toward the Loop Road. Commissioner Oaxaca stated the Art Deco style is a very classic style that needs to be very clearly recognized, not a "watered down" version. He suggests they move more into the classic Art Deco style to differentiate it from the other two styles. Regarding the overall project site, he said, the Grand Paseo should be a space that should be maximize the access and exposure to the entire community. As it is depicted, it only reaches about twelve homes, or the upper half of the community, so it doesn't meet the qualifications of what that space is supposed to be. He asked, what else is planned for the Grand Paseo in terms of amenities or features. Ms. Fabbri-Carter replied that it is meant to be a peaceful, tranquil meditation area. Architect pointed out the green belts throughout the community. Commissioner Munoz asked what the issue the staff had with the setbacks. Mr. Acuna replied they do not meet the setback requirements in terms of the collector road Mike Smith, Senior Planner, gave background information about the setback requirement, stating that in developing the technical standards for Empire Lakes, they wanted the buildings to frame the street so there is a smaller range of setback requirements than is typical in other areas of the City. Page 2 of 6 .tT$'�' �Q��� �R�Ay NE14 3 61)GAM+�I1 ONi3A SEPTEMBER 26, 2018 PLANNING COMMISSION WORKSHOP MINUTES RANCHO CUCAMONGA CIVIC CENTER 10500 CIVIC CENTER DRIVE RANCHO CUCAMONGA, CALIFORNIA Vice -Chairman Guglielmo asked how it will work if the setbacks are minimized at the front door. Mr. Smith responded by saying that the setback requirement can be met in various ways such as: articulation of the wall planes, putting in projections such as patio covers, decks, or trellises, etc. Ms. Fabbri-Carter asked if they could meet that requirement with the courtyard wall. Mr. Smith said yes and ideally, they should provide some shading that emphasizes the entrance to the residence. What they don't want is the wall plane to look so similar that there is no articulation of the walls. After confirming the buildings are detached, he continued by stating there is more opportunity to move the buildings and since there is a range of the setback requirements, homes could be placed at different setbacks within that range. Commissioner Munoz said they do have a good start, but the Contemporary and Main Street styles look too much alike, and to make sure they are differentiated. For the Art Deco style, place more elements of that style in the design to "punch it up" and ensure it looks like Art Deco. He said you can do that with materials. For the gathering space, he suggested to make it look as unique as possible, "wow us'; and get creative since there are no concrete guidelines. Mr. Smith asked if Lewis was developing that space as originally planned. Ms. Fabbri-Carter stated they are now developing it and the presented depiction is identical to what Lewis was planning. Mr. Smith said the space should match the level Hof amenities of the other third spaces that Lewis is developing. Vice -Chairman Guglielmo wanted to see where the other developments are in relation to Tri- Pointe and how it connects. Commissioner Munoz suggested to fill in the white area to make it easier. Mr. Smith commented that the original intent of the project was no walls or fences between developments. Ms. Fabbri-Carter said they will coordinate all the walkways with the other developers. Page 3of6 PLANNING COMMISSION WORKSHOP MIMUTEC RANCHO CUCAMONGA CIVIC CENTER 10500 CIVIC CENTER DRIVE RANCHO CUCAMONGA, CALIFORNIA Commissioner Munoz commented that the floor plans look really good and likes the amenities and spaces depicted. These look like real homes with good spacing instead of other high-' density developments often presented. He also likes the 3D renderings. Chairman Macias stated that he wants the project to be homey. He asked for an explanation about the Zen Garden and how that fits. Ms. Fabbri-Carter replied that the Zen Garden is meant to be a passive relaxation space, contrasting to some of the other busier, high-energy third spaces within Empire Lakes. Chairman Macias suggested that the Zen Garden should look like someplace to really go and relax and should include some specialized landscaping and be tranquil and inviting. He also agrees with Commissioner Oaxaca about the Grand Paseo comments and feel that should be a defining aspect of your project. Commissioner Munoz asked how much latitude Tri-Pointe has on building the Zen Garden and advised them not to be afraid to ask questions as to what is allowable or not because those are the questions that the Commissioners will ask. Chairman Macias said that however the Zen Garden winds up being designed, it needs to be accommodating to the residents. He also said to make sure the architecture is true to the style described. 'He has experienced recently where architects will come in with crossover styles as opposed to a singular direction. Commissioner Oaxaca said the architectural style should be immediately identifiable. Commissioner Munoz said you shouldn't have to think about what style it is. Ms. Fabbri-Carter said they do have stronger Art Deco style ideas but didn't submit it because they wanted the styles to blend with the other styles. Nick said they do have ways to make it more Art Deco in style but did want it to complement the other styles in the community. Commissioner Munoz said that the project is moving in the right direction and have articulated what they want to see. Ms. Fabbri-Carter said they will work with staff on the details of the Zen Garden and architecture. Page 4 of 6 4k .

Dat, Assistant Planner, gave the staff report and PowerPoint presentation (copy on file). He noted two communications from the public and copies were placed before the Commissioners on the dais. Commissioner Oaxaca asked staff to address the questions raised in the email correspondence received. He asked about the breakdown of age groups and postings for the project. Dat Tran responded the applicant could answer the question about the age groups. For the postings, the hearing was advertised in the newspaper, notices were mailed out, neighborhood meeting notices were mailed out, and there was a total of three postings on -site, all meeting legal requirements. Candyce Burnett stated that they verified that the postings on -site were still at the location. Jennifer Moore, representing the applicant, addressed the concerns raised by Roy Nierman. She stated, while the school being two -storied is not common, it is allowed, and they have done extensive research as to how to make it work successfully. The number of staff and parking spaces is correct;they did the calculations according to estimates and they will have an overage of parking spaces. Additionally, the trees that they will be removing are smaller trees that are blocking the frontage of the site and some trees will be removed because they will be destabilized after the grading to meet ADA guidelines is done_ They will be replanting a variety of trees which will be used for educational purposes. Chairman Macias asked the applicant if the enrollment numbers were actual or projected Page 3 of 6 JULT LJ� LU 10 HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMISSION AND PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES RANCHO CUCAMONGA CIVIC CENTER COUNCIL CHAMBERS 10500 CIVIC CENTER DRIVE RANCHO CUCAMONGA, CALIFORNIA Jennifer Moore responded that the numbers are estimates because California will not let enrollment occur until the project gets the permits. Commissioner Oaxaca asked who is monitoring the school. Ms. Moore stated that the California State licensing process is very strict, and inspectors come throughout the process to ensure they are following all regulations pertaining to ratios of students to teachers and classroom sizes. Vice -Chairman Gugilelmo asked about traffic flow and drop-off locations on -site Ms. Moore replied that this is not a traditional school and parents will be parking and walking, the students There is only one entrance for security reasons. Chairman Macias opened the public hearing. Roy Nierman, 7887 Business Center Drive, San Bernardino, representing High Rosen Properties, owns and builds Montessori schools, stated his concerns about the Kiddie Academy project. He stated he is concerned about the school being a two-story building in case of emergency situations. He also stated he disagreed with the staffing to student ratios, and parking estimates for the project; he thinks more staff will be needed and accordingly, more parking spaces. Lastly, he is concerned about the removal of the trees and doesn't believe replanting will be sufficient. Chairman Macias closed the public hearing after seeing no additional speakers. Commissioner Munoz wanted staff to confirm the safety issues were addressed before in Design Review in conjunction with other departments. Dat Tran confirmed that it was. Commissioner Guglielmo commented that the staff report was good, and this project was meeting the demand for child care. Moved by Oaxaca, seconded by Wimberly, carried 5-0 to adopt the Resolutions approving the Design Review, Conditional Use Permit, and the Tree Removal Permit as presented by staff.

MUNICIPAL CODE AMENDMENT DRC2018-00605 — CITY OF RANCHO CUCAMONGA - A request to amend Title 17 of the Municipal Code to amend requirements and standards for the development of Hotels. This item is exempt from the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and the City's CEQA guidelines under CEQA Section 15061(b)(3). This item will be forwarded to City Council for final action. CONTINUED FROM AUGUST 8, 2018 Jennifer Nakamura, Associate Planner, gave the staff report and PowerPoint presentation (copy on file). She noted the item will no longer be forwarded to City Council. She said that staff is now asking for the Commission to remand the item back to staff with suggestions and feedback. Chairman Macias asked for clarification on what staff is now recommending. Vice -Chairman Guglielmo asked how staff will ensure the accuracyof the market feasibility report and who will be responsible for making that determination. Ms. Nakamura responded that the Applicant could engage with the City to find an appropriate consultant to do the study. Another option would be for them to find their own consultant to do the study, and then that study would be subject to peer review from an independent consultant which the City selects to look at the validity of the report. She further stated that there are specific guidelines within the Draft Ordinance pertaining to what the City is looking for in the market feasibility study including: how the hotel will be run if owned by a private franchise group with brand affiliation, where the applicant thinks the market demand for another hotel in Page 3 of 7 AUGUST 22, 2018 HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMISSION AND PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES RANCHO CUCAMONGA CIVIC CENTER COUNCIL CHAMBERS 10500 CIVIC CENTER DRIVE RANCHO CUCAMONGA, CALIFORNIA the City is coming from, and where does their operation fit into that market demand to keep the City's occupancy rates at a good level. Chairman Macias asked if the staff will work with the applicant to develop the scope of work for the market study and then take that report to peer review for evaluation. Ms. Nakamura said another option would be to keep economists on hand who would be able to produce the report at the City's request and have the applicant pay the fees. Vice -Chairman Guglielmo asked if a set of amenities would be required by all hotels. Ms. Nakamura replied there is a set list of amenities that are required, but also the ordinance includes a list of optional amenities to choose from, as well as allowing some flexibility for choosing amenities not listed which the City can approve for presentation to the Commission for consideration. Commissioner Oaxaca noted his concern about the number of calls for service referenced in the staff report and is interested in hearing from staff in a future meeting on how we are addressing the current inventory of hotels. He would also like to hear more specifics about how we would look at the market feasibility study and it's result because feasibility is a spectrum and if there is a threshold at which staff would say it is unacceptable. Chairman Macias asked what is specifically looked at when the peer review panel evaluates the report. Ms. Nakamura stated it would be similar to what is done now with Initial Studies and the CEQA process, in which the validity and the methodology used is evaluated, and if that methodology supports the conclusions of the report. Further, if there are issues not adequately addressed, the applicant has the opportunity to address those issues. Chairman Macias said he is concerned about the fine line between appropriate methodology vs public interest. The report can be written well, with great methodology, but it could still be a bad idea to have another hotel in the City. He stated there is a need to figure out how these market feasibility studies are going to be evaluated within the spectrum Commissioner Oaxaca mentioned and what are the values the City will put in place to keep what is best for the public interest in mind. Page 4 of 7 . AUGUST 22, 2018 HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMISSION AND PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES RANCHO CUCAMONGA CIVIC CENTER COUNCIL CHAMBERS 10500 CIVIC CENTER DRIVE RANCHO CUCAMONGA, CALIFORNIA Commissioner Oaxaca said he has seen deterioration of quality and amenities in hotels that leave franchise agreements to go independent and would like to know if there is a condition the City could apply and enforce to require hotels to maintain a relationship with a franchised chain. Ms. Nakamura stated that staff could research and address if needed. Chairman Macias noted the public hearing is still open from the August 8, 2018 Planning Commission meeting. Seeing no comments, Chairman Macias closed the public hearing. Commissioner Munoz -requested staff to review the different types of hotels and where they are permitted, specifically to look at zoning and where hotels can exist. Ms. Nakamura asked if there was a specific type of hotel Commissioner Munoz was concerned with. Commissioner Munoz stated that he doesn't know much about different types of hotels and would like further education on the different types of hotels and where they can be located. Ms. Nakamura replied that staff could provide that explanation for the Commission. Moved by Munoz, seconded by Oaxaca, carried 5-0 to remand Municipal Code Amendment DRC2018-00605 back to staff for revisions and present back to the Planning Commission at a future date. F.

Tabe van Der Zwaag, Associate Planner, gave the staff report and PowerPoint presentation (copy on file), and noted staff likes the overall building form, but was unsure of what materials to add to support the "contemporary Spanish" style interpretation. He said because of the lack of defining elements staff recommended the applicant consider changing the architectural style from "contemporary Spanish" to Contemporary. He noted changing the style affords the applicant more opportunity to incorporate additional materials and design elements appropriate to that style. He recommended more variations of color to individualize the buildings within the development. He suggested a more modern design them would allow for more play with window style, size and shape. He said the design should emphasize walkways/pathways to connect the entire Empire Lakes project and to create interesting "third" space areas. Rick Bianchi, representing the New Home Company, introduced the Civil Engineer, two representatives from the architecture firm, and the landscape architect for the project. He stated the New Home Company prided themselves on their architectural styling. He said they could change the design to be more contemporary instead of Spanish but was hesitant to introduce elements just to force something. But he said they were open to any suggestions from the Commissioners and staff. Mr. Bianchi further stated, that they were excited to be part of a project with an entry-level price point in Rancho Cucamonga. Commissioner Oaxaca stated architecture should have truth in style and is comfortable with the project being more contemporary in design Commissioner Wimberly said he doesn't see the 360-degree architecture in the design, which is required per the Development Code. Commissioner Munoz stated he likes the style and articulation in the back and the play with colors. He said that we shouldn't have to guess at the overall style of the design that its current form is `schizophrenic'. Vice -Chairman Guglielmo stated that he likes a lot of the design elements, such as the decks and railings, but questioned some of the symmetry. Chairman Macias said he is comfortable with the design but doesn't see the Spanish and suggested. they fully commit to a design. He likes the transition to more contemporary from Spanish but stated to have the enhancements to make it more contemporary. Page 2 of 5 PLANNING COMMISSION " WORKSHOP MINUTES RAINS ROOM RANCHO CUCAMONGA CIVIC CENTER 10500 CIVIC CENTER DRIVE RANCHO CUCAMONGA, CALIFORNIA Commissioner Munoz commented that they should make sure there is connectivity in the common spaces. Mr. Bianchi acknowledged they see a lot of opportunity in the green spaces. Commissioner Oaxaca used Victoria Gardens as an example of interesting use of gathering spaces and suggested the applicant to create different experiences to encourage people to travel around. Mr. Bianchi was receptive to potentially changing the overall design to be more contemporary in style. Commissioners overall gave general positive feedback about the direction of the project and advised them to commit to a design style. D. ADJOURNMENT 8:30 PM I, Lois J.

Tom Grahn, Associate Planner, gave the staff report and PowerPoint presentation (copy on file). He noted that comment letters were received from Burrtec, California Department of Toxic Substance Control, and SQAMD. All issues have been adequately addressed. He noted there are some changes to the resolutions for the GPA and ZMA which have been placed on the dais. The changes are related to recent housing legislation. Tom Grahn, noted to the Commissioners the GPA and ZMA resolutions were revised addressing SB 166, and were on the dais for their review. Chairman Oaxaca opened the public hearing. The representative for the applicant, Michael Pauls, began his comments by thanking staff for their efforts and Tom Grahn whom they've been working with for 2 years. He spoke about the comprehensive oversight of Chevron franchises. He agrees with the conditions of approval as recommended by staff. He also recapped the history of the site noting since its closure, has become an eyesore. He said carwashes now have drought tolerant features per California.. He emphasized that the project meets noise standards for the City and surrounding neighborhoods and that they will also be hiring locally and creating 95 new jobs. They will encourage use of public transportation for workers. The site will be completely monitored by security cameras. He noted the lighting will not encroach onto other properties and when they did community outreach, the locals seemed to welcome the new facility. Suket Doyal, representing Quality Development, who owns a business across from proposed project which includes a mechanics shop and a larger retail space. He stated the prior station was not abandoned as suggested, but the City denied previous owners when they wanted to re -open which he indicated could be a possible liability. He believes there is more of a need for affordable housing in the City and that a lot of exceptions are being made for this gas station. For example, other locations cannot have pumps visible from street, but this project is being allowed to keep pumps visible. He asked that the Commission, at minimum, to restrict the sale of alcohol, and tobacco products since the station is located across from a school. Vic (last name unintelligible) The owner of Rancho Car Wash, Liquor Paradise, and a flower shop in the City, stated, he does not understand why the City is allowing more gas stations and car washes since there are 9 gas stations and 5 car washes within a 2.5 mile -radius. He stated that he previously asked the City about that lot and was told it would never be a gas Page 5 of 14 JULY 117 2018 HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMISSION AND PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES RANCHO CUCAMONGA CIVIC CENTER COUNCIL CHAMBERS 10500 CIVIC CENTER DRIVE RANCHO CUCAMONGA, CALIFORNIA station. Therefore, he spent 6.5 million on the full -service car wash on Hermosa and Arrow. He stated that he lost 25% business when a gas station opened on Haven and the proposed project will negatively affect his business. He believes the site should be something the community needs such as a grocery store, and the gas station will attract homeless people who use needles and will increase break-ins. Brandon (last name unknown) stated that there are many gas stations within a 2-mile radius and believes the site could be put to better use. He's also concerned about the school down street and the fumes and poisons that will be generated by the gas station. Elias (last name unintelligible) stated that he drives by the site every day and it is located on a great corner. He never thought a gas station would go in that site and there is not a need for it and he further believes it will take jobs from other car washes. Oscar, the manager of another car wash, which is 2000 feet from proposed site, stated that a new station may generate new jobs but his employees may lose their jobs or hours. Commissioner Oaxaca asked him if his car wash was full service. Oscar confirmed that it is a full -service car wash. Alan Smith — Co-owner of a property that is east of this project, suggested a change in the site plan by moving the proposed driveway away from the exit of the carwash and creating a 50- foot center driveway. He said he has already spoken to Engineering Services with the City about the proposed change and stated he is willing to share the cost. He said he supports the project because the City is experiencing growth, especially in multi -family units and there are lots of residents. He also thinks that the project has good architecture, keeping with the historical theme and if done right, the project should be good for the City. He stated that he doesn't see competition because the car wash down the street is full service, not express or automated and different people have places that fit their financial needs. He supports the project because it will clean up the area. An unidentified speaker said he is a Car wash employee that grew up in a poor neighborhood and started smoking since he was young and doesn't want his son to smoke and believes the gas station will encourage early smoking. He suggested a better usage would be fast food. Duke, a resident for 10 years, stated he would like a bank or car rental center. Page 6 of 14 JULY 11, 2018 HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMISSION AND PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES RANCHO CUCAMONGA CIVIC CENTER COUNCIL CHAMBERS 10500 CIVIC CENTER DRIVE RANCHO CUCAMONGA, CALIFORNIA Chairman Oaxaca closed public hearing. Michael Pauls responded to the speakers by stating that he appreciated what the speakers had to say. Addressing the comments about the car wash located % mile to east, he stated that specific business sells alcohol, has a quick service restaurant, and is a full service, detail center. Therefore, the proposed project will not compete with the existing car wash since they will not serve alcohol and have no quick serve restaurant. He went on to state gas station distances are measured by their distances from each other on the same side of the street, with the flow of traffic. The proposed project will be the only gas station northbound on Archibald Avenue and going west on Arrow Route. Since people flow into service stations with the direction of traffic, the gas station would be a good fit for the area and they are investing 3 million into the project. Commissioner Guglielmo mentioned the proposed project will not sell alcohol and asked about the sale of tobacco. Michael Pauls replied yes, tobacco will be sold, but there will be signs that smoking on site is prohibited. He also stated that the number of smokers is rapidly shrinking. Chairman Oaxaca closed the public hearing. Commissioner Wimberly commented that the report was very comprehensive and feels the project is a good fit for the location. He further stated the timeframe to deal with this project has been long. He recommended support of staffs recommendation. Commission Guglielmo stated that this is a tough decision, he's weighing the possibilities, wants to listen to the community and thanked them for their comments. Chairman Oaxaca said that it's important to understand the role of this Commission. It is not to determine if a business is economically viable or if it will affect viability of other businesses. The role of the Commission is to determine the appropriate uses of land and to promote overall growth and the development of the City. He has seen this site come and go over the years and observed that it's been left in poor condition for a long time. While others have looked at it for other reasons, a company has decided they can make the business work. He also commented on the nearby school and stated that it is a unique school which focuses on preschool age children with special needs. There will not be kids walking to and from or being Page 7 of 14 JULY 119 2018 HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMISSION AND PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES RANCHO CUCAMONGA CIVIC CENTER COUNCIL CHAMBERS 10500 CIVIC CENTER DRIVE RANCHO CUCAMONGA, CALIFORNIA dropped off by busses like a normal school. They will be escorted, supervised, and tightly controlled. Regarding the nearby car wash, he notes that people choose what level of service they want at a car wash and there is a difference between a full -service car wash and an automated car wash. He stated there is always a place for a strong business in Rancho Cucamonga and with new development in the City, there will be demand. Commissioner Munoz concurred with Chairman Oaxaca regarding his remarks about the role of the Commission. He said the full application proposal is complex but does meet City requirements with some minor exceptions. He stated that the site is unlikely to be housing, the site is complementary to what is already there, and the permit is not detrimental to public interest. He stated that there are no other current options and it's been vacant for over 20 years. There is no action that accommodates both sides and the Planning Commission is not responsible for picking a winner, but instead we let the market decide. He noted that at the neighborhood meeting only 3 people attended and the driveway was the only issue raised and that is being worked out. Chairman Oaxaca commented that car washes currently have the attention of the City and last month the City Council passed a moratorium regarding car washes, but this project was already in progress prior to the moratorium. Council and Staff will be looking at these standards. Nick Ghirelli noted that the remaining entitlements are contingent upon the approval of GPA and ZMA by City Council. Moved by Munoz, seconded by Wimberly, carried 5-0 to adopt the Resolutions recommending approval of General Plan Amendment and Zoning Map Amendment as amended by staff to the City Council for final action along with the proposed Mitigated Negative Declaration of environmental impacts and to adopt the resolutions approving the Design Review, Conditional Use Permit, Variance and Minor Exception which are contingent on the approval of the General Plan Amendment and Zoning Map Amendment.

There is not enough seating and no office for Father John. Further there is dust created by the bare parking area and they will be adding parking and landscaping to fix this issue. Chairman Oaxaca opened the public hearing. Father John, Priest of St. Yostina, gave a brief history about the Coptic Orthodox church which was established in the first century by apostle Mark. This church started in 2010 with 35 families and has now grown to over 400 families. He stated that the property is great for expansion and the project needs to move forward. He also noted that they have a good relationship with neighbors and only a few came to the neighborhood meeting. Chairman Oaxaca closed the public hearing Commissioner Munoz stated that he fully supports the project and has -seen the church grow. Commissioner Wimberly stated that he is also familiar with church and looks forward to the expansion.

COMMISSION BUSINESS/HISTORIC PRESERVATION AND PLANNING COMMISSION INTER -AGENCY UPDATES: Commissioner Munoz gave election updates discussed at the League of California Cities. He said Prop 68, a $4 billion park/water bond passed and we are hoping some grant money will come back to our City for Central Park. He said Prop 69 also passed; it offers constitutional protection of money set aside for the specific purpose to rehabilitate roads. He also noted Prop 72 which provides exemptions to homeowners who install recapture water systems. He said these are all "wins" for cities. He said they also met regarding 3 telecommunications bills with respect to "Net Neutrality" — he said it has been put on a watch basis -the League neither opposes or supports it. He said most people are not wanting to increase taxes and therefore they will monitor the climate for the next few months. He said the League approved a drone policy that would support minimum State standards. He said it received strong approval from the representatives on the committee and he would forward the information to staff for their use.

DIRECTOR'S STAFF REPORTS The following items do not legally require any public testimony, although the Chairman may open the meeting for public input. D1. CAR WASH LAND USE REGULATIONS Vincent Acuna, Assistant Planner gave the staff report and PowerPoint presentation (copy on file). Commissioner Wimberly said from the report it would seem there are many requests for car washes. He asked if this implies we have not handled the use properly in the past. Jennifer Nakamura, Associate Planner said there has been an increase of inquiries in the last 6-12 months. She said some are interested in zone changes to make the zone compatible for a car wash, and in some cases, they are requesting to use remnant commercial property that is adjacent to residential. She said it is a variety of situations and staff believes we need to dive deeper to determine the highest and best use of the land. She noted some benefits but also noted the use causes noise and traffic and does not generate many jobs. She pointed to Page 2 of 7 MAY 233 2018 HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMISSION AND PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES RANCHO CUCAMONGA CIVIC CENTER COUNCIL CHAMBERS 10500 CIVIC CENTER DRIVE RANCHO CUCAMONGA, CALIFORNIA one example in San Luis Obispo adjacent to homes. She said the noise studies says one thing, and appears to meet code, but people living close by see it differently. She said staff wants to address these kinds of things. She said the use has heavy short-term impacts often during certain times of day. Commissioner Guglielmo asked if there will be a needs analysis study. He asked if staff will consider the demand for flex style car washes. Ms. Nakamura said we could, and consider distance requirements, best practices from other jurisdictions as well as the solutions they may have discovered. She said we may not look deeply at different types of carwashes but more likely to look at overall impacts. She said the Development Code standards can also shift. Commissioner Guglielmo asked what is the likelihood of needing the extension to 1-year. Ms. Nakamura said we typically request up to a year but staff would move to Council as soon as it is ready. Nicholas Ghirelli, Assistant City Attorney noted the Government Code only allows the initial 45 days and then Council can approve an extension if they determine it is needed. Commissioner Macias asked if there is enough information to preclude the 45 days. He wanted to know if the changes could be made within the 45-day moratorium. He said the demand is there for the use; people will use it. He said it is important to create standards and thresholds that directly relate to washing cars and related mitigation measures. He said he is comfortable with what staff wants to do. He commented that he takes his cars all the time -they are noisy, busy, and they create traffic. He said staff is correct, this is a big deal. He said the entrepreneurship/demand is there but there is nothing wrong with being proactive. He said he supports Option 1. Ms. Nakamura said given the legal noticing and environmental review requirements, it is difficult, if not impossible to complete changes within 45 days, which is, why we typically request an extension. Commissioner Wimberly asked if the operating hours are part of proposed conditions in a Conditional Use Permit. Page 3 of 7 IVIHT LJ5 ACV 10 HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMISSION AND PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES RANCHO CUCAMONGA CIVIC CENTER COUNCIL CHAMBERS 10500 CIVIC CENTER DRIVE RANCHO CUCAMONGA, CALIFORNIA Ms. Nakamura confirmed that we currently do consider this but when a problem or complaint arises it is difficult for Community Improvement to know each set of conditions of approval set for each business. She said it would be far easier for them to enforce if they were all the same. Chairman Oaxaca noted staff is looking for guidance. He said he agrees with Commissioner Macias. He said it sounds like the current process does not give staff a comfort level to deal with some of these requests for car washes. Ms. Nakamura added that standards for a CUP are fairly general but more stringent regulations such as considering distance, zone, a change or reduction of zones gives more tools for us to work with. Chairman Oaxaca noted that right now they are allowed in about 6 zones. He agreed that at least a 45-day moratorium would be needed to study this. Ms. Nakamura said we want to look at all the land uses, land available, and possible areas to shift zones. She said it may all be ok but we may add a distance requirement from other sensitive uses for example. She said these are the things staff will explore during the process. Commissioners Munoz indicated he supports Option 1, Commissioner Guglielmo agreed. He noted staff has a challenging task in a short timeframe. He said he does not want to discourage businesses. The consensus of the Commission is to support Option1 with a possible extension to 1-year and staff will bring a final ordinance forward when it is ready. Chairman Oaxaca said he appreciates staff being proactive. The Secretary received and filed the report. E.

Vice Chairman Macias mentioned he is President of the Public Art Committee and that his placement on the committee is meaningful to him as he is an artist and has had his works displayed at the Cultural Center. He noted the remaining membership of the committee is Linda Bryan, Leslie Matamoros, Lauren Verdugo, John Machado. He said they have to decide how to move forward. He noted they have about $20,000 consultant money and they are currently looking for a consultant that knows art well. He said they will meet again in July.

He also congratulated staff for winning a sixty -million -dollar grant for the Etiwanda overpass. G. ADJOURNMENT 7:30 PM I, Lois J.

Items discussed at their Board Meeting focused on the preservation of local transportation funding, efforts to repeal SB9 and support Prop 69. Also discussed is the sustainability of pension benefits. Governor Brown also paid a visit to the Board and spoke about a `financial bomb' with respect to pension reform. Also addressed were public safety concerns about long sentences, costs of incarceration and lack of support to build and sustain prisons. He said the Board should protect SB 1 funding because he believes we will not get this king of money again in a post -Brown future. COMMISSION ANNOUNCEMENTS: None G. ADJOURNMENT 8:20PM I, Lois J.

PRESENTATION/WORKSHOP PLANNING COMMISSION C1. HOUSING LEGISLATION Candyce Burnett, City Planner introduced the presenter, Diana Varat, Esq. Page 1 of 5 MAY 912018 PLANNING COMMISSION WORKSHOP MINUTES TRI-COMMUNITIES ROOM RANCHO CUCAMONGA CIVIC CENTER 10500 CIVIC CENTER DRIVE RANCHO CUCAMONGA, CALIFORNIA A PowerPoint presentation (copy on file) was given by Diana Varat, Esq. of Richards, Watson and Gershon (Attorneys at Law). Chairman Oaxaca asked if only vacant parcels are considered for the inventory. Ms. Varat said they can be non -vacant but they must be non -utilized and there are special requirements regarding their status. She said that if an agency is unable to identify sites the default density can be used so the lower income number of the RHNA can still be met. Ms. Burnett commented that we have to prepare before projects reach the Commission as these requirements must be considered with the projects. She said having two commissioners on policy committees with the League of California Cities has been very advantageous. They have been passing some materials to staff and keeping us informed. She said much will impact us and how it changes our planning efforts. She noted our RHNA numbers are a little low. Our problem is we do not know when builders are going to build what has been already approved. She said our land values are very high -and it is difficult to get developers interested in the incentives. We have talked about inclusionary housing but it is difficult. She noted that staff has already looked at 2"d dwelling units but other outstanding issues are taking precedence. Commissioner Wimberly said with respect to affordable housing, how we have addressed this so far has worked for us. He said bringing it in to the City was difficult but we got one major development with 300+ units developed - He said that project has been a good beacon for this type of housing as many objectors have been quieted. He expressed concern about the State mandates -noting they are not a request for partnership. He asked that when this gets out and builders ask for some of these things how will we say `no' with respect to the standards we have on the books. Ms. Burnett said that has been our concern. So far, we have been partners and therefore have been able to hold them to higher design standards: She said we will have to look at our standards and make them specific and objective. There will be an impact. Commissioner Munoz said there is more proposed legislation out there now. Two bills out there are not good. Commissioner Guglielmo asked if the $75 fee is a recording fee and when does that start. Ms. Varat said it is already being collected. She said we will not know until the end of the year how much has been collected. Until then, only partial funding, a small percentage, will be Page 2of5 PLANNING COMMISSION WORKSHOP MINUTES TRI-COMMUNITIES ROOM RANCHO CUCAMONGA CIVIC CENTER 10500 CIVIC CENTER DRIVE RANCHO CUCAMONGA, CALIFORNIA available soon. She said the money will go to local agencies that are revising their planning documents to streamline multi -family projects. Commissioner Macias said it was an excellent presentation. He expressed frustration about California becoming a one -party system with regulations becoming more and more draconian. He said the loss of local control is worse all the time. He asked what thought process was used by Sacramento concerning the impacts on the market. He said we continue to regulate but we don't see much incentive to developers or cities to do much of this. He remarked that affordability is the elephant in the room in addition to requiring prevailing wages. He said people will not be able to afford to buy homes because of the additional costs to the builder. He said these requirements are a huge burden to cities and it creates another cottage industry for lawfirms to help us. He asked why coastal zones are exempt. Chairman Oaxaca said the legislatures in California build layer upon layer of legislation. We have projects at various points of entitlement and some are significant as well as a large annexation pending. He asked if this legislation applies to those projects in various stages or is this only looking forward to new projects. Ms. Varat said most of what we talked about are new developments new in the process. She said approvals will get factored into the RHNA reports along with building permits pulled so already approved projects will come into play but the emphasis is to get more built. Ms. Burnett added that they get counted once constructed. New submittals will get counted once they are deemed complete and move forward. Chairman Oaxaca requested staff to keep the Commission informed. He requested the Commission be part of some of those conversations as we move from subjective to objective standards and it is helpful to refresh the Commission as to where our site inventory stands and where staff thinks where we are with meeting the numbers. Ms Burnett said staff can also provide RHNA reports to them to keep them updated. Commissioner Macias asked if there is any indication as to what the changes to RHNA might be. Ms. Varat said there may be changes in methodology of the calculations — some connect more to transit and some to connect more to jobs coming in. She said the idea is to have a jobs/housing balance. She said they may also look at what types of jobs are being created and the relationship to the housing provided. She said the statute is still vague.

Her PowerPoint addressed concerns previously mentioned by the Commission Page 2 of 10 r%r-MIL I I , Lv 10 HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMISSION AND PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES RANCHO CUCAMONGA CIVIC CENTER COUNCIL CHAMBERS 10500 CIVIC CENTER DRIVE RANCHO CUCAMONGA, CALIFORNIA on March 14. She said the number of signs allowed (12) was determined with input and seemed to be reasonable to give clear directions to event locations. She said a different number could be recommended by the Commission to the Council. She mentioned the driving force began with 2015 case law that pointed to areas of our current ordinance to be out of compliance. Additionally, she mentioned the public safety/traffic concerns as a driving force. She indicated the timing of this draft ordinance has little to do with it being a political season as this was started long before the pollical season. She said we regularly receive reports about signs but our hands are currently tied with respect to enforcement using our current ordinance. She said 350 signs were removed on 10 separate dates during February 2018. She said staff had hoped to bring this forward sooner, but the process was very complicated working with other departments followed by review from legal counsel to ensure defensibility. She noted a positive response was received at the Chamber of Commerce Business Connections Network breakfast. She said the BIA is aware we are moving forward and the discussion with them is. continuing to seek options for an off -site sign program for development projects that is satisfactory to the BIA and the City. Chairman Oaxaca opened the floor for public comment. Bill Rue of the Citrus Valley Association of Realtors said they have had many conversations with staff and they appreciate the hard work and attention to their concerns and for keeping them informed. He said they appreciate the time, effort, the members feel they are getting more not less, they too appreciate limiting blight, and they are glad to look for safety — their members take safety seriously. He said they also appreciate that it is content neutral and that we are following the Supreme Court ruling for equality for all. He said he looks forward to working with Mr. Espinoza and Ms. Cook in the future. Chairman Oaxaca closed the public comment period and moved to Commission comments. Commissioner Munoz said he supports the realtors' and BIA concerns and he understands the line of sight issue/safety. He said we look at this issue frequently and he appreciates the tweaks. He said he does not believe we currently give everyone an even break with respect to signs and he supports the idea of the change to help ensure all parties get a fair shot. He commented on his concerns regarding blight, permitting/registration of those wanting to post signs, what happens with those who run afoul of the law or don't use common sense, enforcement and the consequences of possibly doing nothing with the current ordinance. He asked legal counsel what the implications of doing nothing might be. Page 3 of 10 P%r-RIL I I, LV 10 HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMISSION AND PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES RANCHO CUCAMONGA CIVIC CENTER COUNCIL CHAMBERS 10500 CIVIC CENTER DRIVE RANCHO CUCAMONGA, CALIFORNIA , Nick Ghirelli, Assistant City Attorney clarified that with respect to the blight issue,. they are allowed 1 sign per side of the block. So technically 2 per block. Ms. Cook confirmed that there could be numerous signs from different companies on one block. She said She also confirmed there is no procedure for them to register or permit in any way. She said the only signs being removed now are those posted on city structures and/or those in poor/dilapidated condition and she confirmed that profane or unlawful signs will be removed. She confirmed that none have been removed up to this point relative to content. Mr. Ghirelli spoke to the "doing nothing" option by indicating the consequence is what Community Improvement deals with now as' staff does not feel it appropriate to enforce the sign ordinance because the current ordinance creates a prohibition on many types of signs and then creates categories of signs with special rules — it raises a threat of an unequal scenario and could expose the City to liability. He said for example: the big one is extra permission given to real estate signs. He said currently, if staff removes a real estate sign and not a political sign then it creates a problem of fairness. Commissioner Munoz confirmed that safety and the line of site trumps all other concerns regardless of the sign. Ms. Cook confirmed that is correct. Mr. Ghirelli confirmed that the city has a compelling duty to protect the public safety Commissioner Munoz surmised that the concern is not so much about enforcement: we are trying to correct the language. He thought if all the businesses put out signs it would create blight. He asked how we control that if content neutrality is an issue. Ms. Cook noted we still have limits/rules in place (one per block limited to 'l2 for example) in addition to the content neutrality e.g. the one sign per block rule is in place so multiple sign blight would not be occurring. She said we would probably not see every business purchasing many signs and putting them out and removing them for 60 or 90 days. We may have unintended consequences, but we can deal with that if it arises. Chairman Oaxaca asked what if all businesses in a strip mall decided to put out a sign -the result would be blight. Page 4 of 10 /yrRIL I 1 , Lv 10 HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMISSION AND PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES RANCHO CUCAMONGA CIVIC CENTER COUNCIL CHAMBERS 10500 CIVIC CENTER DRIVE RANCHO CUCAMONGA, CALIFORNIA Ms. Cook referred to a slide in her PowerPoint. No signs within 200 feet of a business location or complex would be allowed. Chairman Oaxaca asked about provisions in our sign program conditions that help with this. Ms Cook noted those are all on private property. This ordinance is just for signs in the public right of way. Chairman Oaxaca asked about notification requirements, related possible liability and managing the frequent violators. Ms. Cook said that notification was considered but it would be arduous to monitor through that vehicle. She said also some individuals or groups practicing free speech might feel constrained about noting their phone, name etc. on some sort of City notification. For violators we start with a kind request, then an administrative citation and then for those who really don't comply we can do a civil injunction or criminal filing -these are tools that could be used if necessary. Chairman Oaxaca noted the sought -out balance of free speech rights and city rules. Ms. Cook said there is specific due process for violations -an administrative hearing and a review by the Superior Court if it is pursued beyond that. Mr. Ghirelli reminded the Commission they can qualify their recommendation with comments or suggestions for changes to the Council. Moved by Wimberly seconded by Macias carried 5-0 to adopt the Resolution recommending approval of Municipal Code Amendment DRC2018-00177 by the City Council as presented by staff. D2.

Chairman Oaxaca opened the public hearing. Ben Horning, Director of Development for Dedeaux Properties said it was a pleasure working with staff for the last year. He said they are excited to get it built. Chairman Oaxaca closed the public hearing. Commissioner Guglielmo asked how does the traffic flow work is there a "suicide lane" for trucks to pull into. Albert Espinoza, Assistant City Engineer said this was a concern for us as well because of the short distance from the southerly driveway to the railroad tracks just to the south and was another reason why this had to be addressed. He said the movements will be limited to the northerly driveway for inbound truck traffic and the southern drive is for outbound truck traffic only. There are fewer limitations on cars/employee vehicles when accessing/exiting the site. Chairman Oaxaca said the DTSC mentioned potential for underground storage tanks. He asked if there was evidence of that. 'Page 6 of 10 r►rMIL i 1, cv 10 HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMISSION AND PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES RANCHO CUCAMONGA CIVIC CENTER COUNCIL CHAMBERS 10500 CIVIC CENTER DRIVE RANCHO CUCAMONGA, CALIFORNIA Mr. Perez said there were underground tanks and the removal of them was verified. There was a regulatory closure in 1998 but the DTSC determined no further assessment is necessary. Commissioner Munoz said the project is straightforward, looks .good and will improve the area - he offered his support. Commissioner Wimberly concurred and offered congratulations to the applicant for working through the concerns. Commissioner Guglielmo concurred and said it is a good design and functional site.

DISCUSSION ITEMS PLANNING COMMISSION C1. PRE -APPLICATION REVIEW DRC2017-01009 — GRAND PACIFIC COMMUNITIES — A request for a Planning Commission Workshop to review a proposed 160-unit mixed - use development on 4.8 acres of land that includes 7,700 square feet of commercial tenant space and 5,600 square feet of commercial ready tenant space located in the Community Commercial (CC) District of the Foothill Boulevard Overlay District approximately 300 feet north of Foothill Boulevard on the west side of Etiwanda Avenue. — APN: 1090-601-04 and 20 Page 1 of 6 PLANNING COMMISSION WORKSHOP MINUTES RAINS ROOM RANCHO CUCAMONGA CIVIC CENTER 10500 CIVIC CENTER DRIVE RANCHO CUCAMONGA, CALIFORNIA Tabe van der Zwaag, Associate Planner, gave a brief introduction and summarized the items to be addressed in the discussion. He said a Development Code Amendment will be needed to be in conformance with the General Plan. He noted that the commercial ready units have a different layout than what staff originally understood. The change adjusted the parking needs and lessened their deficit of parking. He said they propose tandem parking with one space in front of each garage. He said the original proposal had a 26% deficit in parking and with the adjustment is now a 15% deficit (55 spaces). Commissioner Munoz confirmed that there is no agreement yet for the easement between the two parcels (referring to the westerly border of the site adjoining the existing developed commercial area to the west). Mike McDaniel indicated nothing formal has been worked out although those existing businesses stand to benefit by allowing easy pedestrian access from the applicant's development. Mr. van der Zwaag said it has also been suggested that a shift of the driveway location (shown off of Etiwanda Avenue) to the south so that it could be a shared driveway with any new development that takes place on the vacant parcel to the south of this application. He provided 3 options for the smaller, .44-acre parcel that fronts along Foothill Boulevard. Serafim Maranan of Architects Orange provided an overview of the presentation. Mr. McDaniel said they met with liquor store owner and they indicated there is a 10-year lease and that it had recently sold. Mr. van der Zwaag asked the Commission for their inclinations regarding the Land Use makeup and if they thought there was enough commercial space compared to the number of residential units. Commissioner Munoz said he did not know if it will be enough space provided. He said his concern about mixed use projects is that if it looks empty, that's not good. He asked if they could design it so it does not look awkward if units are still empty. Mr. McDaniel said the commercial ready units will be commercial but if they are not getting filled, they will change over to apartments. Mr. Maranan said the two-story high building is set up for commercial, and will have a commercial look. Chairman Oaxaca said his experience with transitioning residential spaces and ramping up to commercial is difficult. He said the reality is it may not look like mixed use for a while. Mr. McDaniel said they intend to stay to manage this place Page 2 of 6 PLANNING COMMISSION WORKSHOP MINUTES RAINS ROOM RANCHO CUCAMONGA CIVIC CENTER 10500 CIVIC CENTER DRIVE RANCHO CUCAMONGA, CALIFORNIA Chairman Oaxaca asked if they see markets where residential transitions to commercial. He said this is new territory for Rancho Cucamonga and therefore we don't know. Mr. Maranan said they can't predict but they followed a suggestion to make it flexible. Commissioner Munoz said the next time the applicants should bring a firmed -up plan to show that commercial part can work. He said the challenges are parking and the commercial component. He said the architecture looks good and the amenities look good; the circulation shows thinking out of the box. Mr. van der Zwaag said that when they come back they need to provide financial numbers representing rental differences between the units being commercial rather than residential. Commissioner Munoz said staff should continue to work with the applicant. If the commercial sits empty they may end up with awkward looking apartments. Chairman Oaxaca said the proportion of commercial vs the rest of project makes sense if all proposed commercial units work. He said more commercial units might not make sense. He said he has no problem supporting the zoning change Commissioner Guglieimo said he believes it is important to make the parking interconnected with the adjacent project. Mr. Maranan said 39 parking spaces are available for the retail units. Commissioner Guglielmo asked if the commercial ready units could be live work units. Mr. Maranan said they could consider that and it may be a good idea. Mr. McDaniel said with respect to switching units from commercial to residential; they can plumb them for either use and easily change from one to another. Commissioner Guglieimo asked if they have done this type of tandem parking before. Mr. McDaniel said with this layout, the tenants can't block each other; the tandem space belongs to the same tenant. Mr. van der Zwaag asked for Commissioner comments on the Site Layout. Page 3 of 6 MARCH 28, 2018 PLANNING COMMISSION WORKSHOP MINUTES RAINS ROOM RANCHO CUCAMONGA CIVIC CENTER 10500 CIVIC CENTER DRIVE RANCHO CUCAMONGA, CALIFORNIA Commissioner Munoz said it appears the circulation only allows an outer loop Mr. Maranan said residents will be using the parking in assigned spots, there are contiguous corridors around each building and internal corridors as well. Mr. van der Zwaag noted that for the smaller building -staff likes the building to be closer to the street rather than pushed back like the liquor store. Mr. Mc Daniel said they purchased the small parcel because they hope to get it all. They unsuccessfully tried to acquire the liquor store and the other piece to the east -it was bought before they could get it. Offers were made to the new owners, but they asked for too much money. Commissioner Munoz thought the layout of that piece is awkward. Chairman Oaxaca said it may make more sense to leave that piece alone for now. If something goes there it should make sense to complement the project to the west. A decision on this does not need to be made now. Mr. van der Zwaag asked about their thoughts on the architecture. He noted it currently provides good articulation and good use of materials. Commissioner Munoz said he appreciates the articulation, the contemporary design and said it provides a nice streetscape. Chairman Oaxaca said pedestrian scale is important. Mr. van der Zwaag said they should make sure quality is displayed throughout the project and they should work with the neighbor to the south and adjust for a shared driveway. Chairman Oaxaca asked if we are looking for a master plan for the entire corner. Commissioner Munoz noted that when the application comes in for the property to the south they should design their project to work with this application. Chairman Oaxaca noted that it is important to look at the possible connections now. Mr Marana said we can help give them cues and look for staffs help when that time comes. Mr. van der Zwaag suggested they revisit the parking: Page 4 of 6 a a y, ao .Z..A � Y '_k � � . �?F k-����3 MARCH 28, 2018 PLANNING COMMISSION WORKSHOP MINUTES RAINS ROOM RANCHO CUCAMONGA CIVIC CENTER 10500 CIVIC CENTER DRIVE RANCHO CUCAMONGA, CALIFORNIA Commissioner Munoz noted there is a concern for us and the City Council regarding projects that come in with too little parking. Mr. van der Zwaag said we do not want to see a problem created for the other development to the south. Commissioner Munoz was curious as to how they would resolve a 25% deficit. Mr. Maranan said if the commercial ready space was residential we would have 160 units and 7700 square feet of retail leaving only a 12% parking deficient. Mr. McDaniel said if there is after hours shared parking at night we end up with only an 11-parking space deficit. He asked if shared parking after hours would be acceptable. Chairman Oaxaca said the applicant should work with staff on these issues. D. ADJOURNMENT 8:35 PM I, Lois J.

TIME EXTENSION DRC2018-00054 — SUSAN ETCHEBERRIA — A request to allow for a one (1) year time extension of a previously approved 7 lot Tentative Tract Map (SUBTT18210) on 4.89 acres of land in the Very Low (VL) District (1-2 dwelling units per acre) of the Etiwanda Specific Plan on the south side of Banyan Street between Greenwood Place and Laurel Blossom Place; APN: 0225-171-04.

Page 2 of 9 MARCH 14, 2018 HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMISSION AND PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES RANCHO CUCAMONGA CIVIC CENTER COUNCIL CHAMBERS 10500 CIVIC CENTER DRIVE RANCHO CUCAMONGA, CALIFORNIA D2. MUNICIPAL CODE AMENDMENT DRC2018-00187 - CITY OF RANCHO CUCAMONGA - A request to amend Title 17 of the Municipal Code to enact requirements and standards for the development of wireless communication facilities within the public right of way. This item is exempt from the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and the City's CEQA guidelines under CEQA section 15601(b)(3). This item will be forwarded to the City Council for final action. Jennifer Nakamura, Associate Planner, gave the report and PowerPoint presentation (copy on file). Commissioner Munoz commented on how this allows staff to coordinate with the fiber optic master plan. He offered suggestions mentioned at the League for Cities that could be in a future ordinance such as setting timeframes on leases and/or having annual renewals. He asked if the terms of approval would be indefinite and if we could consider an equipment attachment fee. He asked if the leases would be adjustable and if they have liability and performance. measures and/or security deposits. He asked if we can negotiate other forms of exchange to benefit the city. Ms Nakamura said many of these items are covered in negotiated leases with the carriers and they have timeframes with length of terms, rents and maximum lease periods. Nick Ghierelli, Assistant City Attorney has the City currently holds the option to extend as the maximum term is currently 10 years. Ms. Nakamura noted that each lease is individually negotiated. She said performance standards are covered under the MDR permit so that compatibility and location can be addressed and if violations are not addressed, the leases can be revoked if necessary. Commissioner Munoz said this technology is completely different than anything before as it will require 100s or 1000s of these small cells to give coverage to the whole City. He asked if these should be conditioned to prevent them from being put in front of businesses/residences. He said we may want to look at this again in the future to see what can we do to make the ordinance the best. Ms Nakamura agreed and said when we are looking at wooden poles and independent sites we should look at additional siting requirements with residential buffers but the ones on streetlights we have greater control over size, location, scale, look and feel of those. She noted Page 3 of 9 IVIAKUH 1 &+� LV 10 HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMISSION AND PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES RANCHO CUCAMONGA CIVIC CENTER COUNCIL CHAMBERS 10500 CIVIC CENTER DRIVE RANCHO CUCAMONGA, CALIFORNIA that the City as the property owner has more power to control. She agreed that we need to continue this discussion about leases. She said each lease morphs -and we learn going forward. We will continue to dialogue. Commissioner Munoz said the League has created and participates on a new telecommunications committee and he will share information as he receives it. Commissioner Guglielmo asked how cables for the cell sites get to these poles. Ms. Nakamura said they have power and conduit encased inside or attached to the poles. We do flat a rate chargeback for the power they use which they get from the pole. Albert Espinoza said if the site can't handle all the new conduits, then we can require them to put in a new streetlight so it can handle the new conduit. He said we are taking a look at other options including solar. We are looking at the aesthetics of those. Commissioner Guglielmo asked if all of the site equipment encapsulated on the pole. Ms Nakamura said these typically do not have standard shelters like the other larger facilities you see -they are fully encased. For a larger site she said we try to get them to underground their cable and if that is not feasible, they have to pay for permits -they will have to get an encroachmenUconstruction permit if they have to open up streets and sidewalks. If they are already opened up the street or sidewalk then we will also put in fiber network at the same time while it is open. Commissioner Macias noted there will always be exceptions to the rule. Vice Chairman Macias opened the public hearing and seeing and hearing no further comment, closed the public hearing. Commissioner Wimberly noted it was an outstanding report. Moved by Wimberly, seconded by Guglielmo, carried 4-0-1 (Oaxaca absent) to adopt the Resolution recommending approval of Municipal Code Amendment DRC2018-00187 to be forwarded to the City Council for final action. Page 4 of 9 IVIIAML.n 16r1,Cv 10 HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMISSION AND PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES RANCHO CUCAMONGA CIVIC CENTER COUNCIL CHAMBERS 10500 CIVIC CENTER DRIVE RANCHO CUCAMONGA, CALIFORNIA D3. MUNICIPAL CODE AMENDMENT DRC2018-00177 — CITY OF RANCHO CUCAMONGA — A request to amend Title 17 (Development Code) of the Municipal Code to amend regulations regarding the posting and display of signs in the public right-of-way. This item is exempt from the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and the City's CEQA guidelines under CEQA sections 15061(13)(3) and 15305. This item will be forwarded to the City Council for final action. Jana Cook, Community Improvement Manager gave the report and PowerPoint presentation (copy on file). She noted in her presentation that staff is requesting a continuance to allow time for stakeholder groups to further study the information and for staff to formulate any additional changes. She asked for a continuance to March 28rn Commissioner Wimberly asked if this pertains to a 60-day period prior to an event -does that include an election referencing political signs. Ms Cook said the regulations are content neutral, so it could be any kind of sign political or otherwise. It can be up a total of 60 days. Commissioner Munoz said signs are typically discussed prior to every election -this is the third time in twelve years. He asked what is driving force this review now as we have dealt with this in the past; the issues are the same -not changed much. We care about the realtors and have a concern they may have to jump through more hoops. He asked why has the situation not changed. He thought bad enforcement might be the problem because without enforcement the behavior won't change. He said this ordinance may make the job more impossible. He asked why don't we leave it alone until we have a real problem. He said we don't have the staff to enforce it and he expressed concern about impinging on politicians and small business owners. Ms Cook said she disagreed about the problem -as it does exist. She said the last political season we had some bad traffic issues created by those signs. She said she has been working for 18 months on the ordinance - long before the onset of the political season. Commissioner Munoz said we have many more officers than we have staff in Community Improvement and we really don't have the staff to enforce this. This issue has been with us for many years and we just acknowledge the presence of political signs nor do we want to infringe on the livelihood of realtors. Page 5 of 9 1V1AK%.' 1 1 t+, LV 10 HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMISSION AND PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES RANCHO CUCAMONGA CIVIC CENTER COUNCIL CHAMBERS 10500 CIVIC CENTER DRIVE RANCHO CUCAMONGA, CALIFORNIA Nick Ghirelli, Assistant City Attorney said part of the driver for many cities is because of a supreme court decision in 2015. He said sign regulations targeted at certain types of signs was not content neutral if it created exceptions as a general rule. There is concern about overall enforcement of the sign ordinance in light of court's decision. He said the policy issue is there is no magic in the number of signs. Commissioner Munoz said if that is the driver, the report did not make that clear. He said he understands we may have some liability if we do not act but wondered if we can manage this. Ms. Cook said from an enforcement perspective right now we can do nothing but after this is put in place we will have tools to go after the most egregious violators -some action can be taken. She said she does not expect 100% compliance. Commissioner Guglielmo said it still seems confusing. There will be staff or volunteers picking up signs. What if someone takes someone else's sign down. Mr. Ghirelli said that would be criminal theft. Ms. Cook said anyone can volunteer to help removed signs they need only go through the screening process of our HR department. Commissioner Guglielmos asked how do folks find their signs if they are removed. Ms. Cook said they can be picked up at the City Yard they will be held for 30 days at that one location. Vice Chairman Macias opened the public hearing. Bill Rue of the Citrus Valley Association of Realtors thanked Ms. Cook and Mr. Espinoza for taking extensive time to explain the proposed ordinance. He said they understand it and seem happy with it. He said they actually get more signs with this and also a clear time -a 12-hour period. The brokers said the clarity of the ordinance is good. He said they understand the triangulation issue of signs on corners. He said he also did outreach and let members know to not place signs in ADA access areas. He said no other input has been received from their members. Page 6 of 9 1VIA cL.n 1 9+9 ACV 10 HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMISSION AND PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES RANCHO CUCAMONGA CIVIC CENTER COUNCIL CHAMBERS 10500 CIVIC CENTER DRIVE RANCHO CUCAMONGA, CALIFORNIA Commissioner Munoz asked how do we manage local businesses that put signs in public property without a permit and continue to do so. Ms. Cook said with temporary installations right now there is no enforcement because we don't have a law that allows us to. Commissioner Munoz asked if we can condition this so we acknowledge the Supreme Court decision and we are going to take action. Mr. Ghirelli said our current ordinance violates the decision. A risk of a lawsuit against the City is low risk. The other option is to not allow signs in the public right of way at all or reduce the number. He said he thinks the best practice is to have content neutral ordinance for enforcement and city liability purposes. Vice Chairman Macias said he understands why we should do this. We will always have a manpower issue to manage this and legitimate concerns need to be taken back and considered.. Ms. Cook confirmed the recommendation is to continue the public hearing to March 28rn Mr. Ghirelli suggested he reopen the public hearing. Moved by Wimberly, seconded by Guglielmo carried 4-0-1 (Oaxaca absent) to continue the public hearing to the March 28, 2018 meeting. F.

DISCUSSION ITEMS PLANNING COMMISSION C1. PRE -APPLICATION REVIEW DRC2017-00987 — CHARLES JOSEPH ASSOCIATES FOR CHRIS HYUN — A request for a Planning Commission Workshop to review a proposed office and retail complex on a site of 9.37-acres consisting of seven structures, totaling approximately 205,800 square feet located within the Industrial Park (IP) District and the Haven Avenue Overlay District at the southwest corner of Haven Avenue and Arrow Route — APN: 0209-092-09 and -13. Vincent Acuna, Assistant Planner, gave a PowerPoint presentation (copy on file). He noted Buildings A and F are elevated and would allow for parking underneath. He said a medical use was not contemplated in the parking analysis. Page 1 of 5 FEBRUARY PLANNING COMMISSION WORKSHOP MINUTES RAINS ROOM RANCHO CUCAMONGA CIVIC CENTER 10500 CIVIC CENTER DRIVE RANCHO CUCAMONGA, CALIFORNIA In attendance for the applicants: Danny Smith Cal Pac Management Jeff Fisher — Lee & Associates Greg Martin — Lee & Associates Chris —Hyun: Owner Chuck & Suzanne Buquet Mr. Buquet said the development incorporates everything into an office business community that is walkable to Haven City and other services. He said it is a city within a city and will be a good business address with a nice blend of tenants and unique office types. He described it as a "Class A" office product. The discussion began with Zoning: Commissioner Munoz asked what the vision for the retail uses. He suggested no fast food but maybe a Baja fresh type of eatery. Mr. Martin suggested a Kinkos. Mr. Buquet said they are trying to create synergy- perhaps a jeweler. He said Fashionista/low impact retail. Commissioner Munoz voiced a concern about the suggested Medical use. He said the renderings look good, and architecturally it looks like it would work. He said Medical is a long stretch as there may be restrictions on that use along Haven Avenue. Mr. Buquet said it is currently all conceptual; they will address the uses -the retail uses will service the business owners there in the development- there will not be strip center retail. Mr. Hyun said he want things that suit his needs. Commissioner Wimberly said he is glad that the applicants already talked with staff about the Haven Overlay, requirements; he said there may be some things missing here. He said it architecturally looks nice. Chairman Oaxaca noted that the development proposed for Haven & 26th Street will be addressing some of the same issues. Mike Smith, Senior Planner said there is a list for retail uses currently allowed like banks and financial services. He said some uses, such as massage, call centers, etc. are not what we would want now. He sa some things have changed since the Code was written. This is an opportunity for us to reset some things wt are doing along this corridor -we can amend to get what we desire/ such as look at the development Page 2 of 5 FEBRUARY 28, PLANNING COMMISSION WORKSHOP MINUTES RAINS ROOM RANCHO CUCAMONGA CIVIC CENTER 10500 CIVIC CENTER DRIVE RANCHO CUCAMONGA, CALIFORNIA standards, revisit the size requirements, and look at how we review/approve these projects. He said we can develop solutions that work for the City and make their project work. He said it is unlikely a Taco Bell will be allowed here. Commissioner Munoz said the report is a little vague as to what staff was supporting but he confirmed that if staff supports the changes we can amend the Code. He said part of the problem is that the vision for the Haven Corridor has not been real popular out there for development. Mr. Smith said we agree the Haven corridor is very important to the City with respect to land uses and architectural expectations. He said we have to periodically ask ourselves if adjustments are needed and make them accordingly. He said we are also updating the Code to stay current with development market changes. Chairman Oaxaca confirmed that it allows us to look at the bigger picture. Commissioner Macias said he is relatively pleased with the renderings; the retail is tastefully done. He said with the parking structure they should be careful of residential views. The signage should be compatible with the overall vision for that corridor. Commissioner Guglielmo asked if there is an Uber drop off indicated on Arrow Route. Mr. Buquet said it is just a rendering. He said there will not be on -street parking there. He said we would need Engineering to approve a large drop off on the southbound side. Chairman Oaxaca noted this project will fall under the public art requirement. Mr. Buquet said they are considering a strong architectural element/something in the center of the development and around the corner -but it will not be like the black silhouettes at MacDonald's. Mr. Buquet said the parking deck makes a 6-story building possible. He added that a walkway goes from the parking deck directly into the building. The Commissioners offered generally positive remarks about the conceptual architecture. Mr. Martin indicated the decision as to where to locate the parking structure either at the south end or north end. He said the parking structure massing is to lessen conflict between the residential development to the north and the remaining development. Page 3of5 FEBRUARY PLANNING COMMISSION WORKSHOP MINUTES RAINS ROOM RANCHO CUCAMONGA CIVIC CENTER 10500 CIVIC CENTER DRIVE RANCHO CUCAMONGA, CALIFORNIA Mr. Buquet said the 6-story building is at the south end and is used as a focal point to draw people in — he said the office building location will help free up parking and will lessen traffic for the retail and service uses located at the northeast corner of the site. He said it allows people to drive down to the entry point. He said we want the office use to make us of the parking deck. Mr. Martin said it encourages a dispersement of parking. D.

Page 5 of 9 rC6RUAMT 104, ACV 10 HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMISSION AND PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES RANCHO CUCAMONGA CIVIC CENTER COUNCIL CHAMBERS 10500 CIVIC CENTER DRIVE RANCHO CUCAMONGA, CALIFORNIA Renee Massy, a resident of Red Hill, clarified that she is not against something being built and she also fell in love with the view. She said their lot is between two homes but because of the curve in the road, the view will be obstructed (Ms. Massey also spoke during public comment and wishes those comments to be included in the record. They are repeated below) Renee Massey, a resident of Red Hill, expressed concern regarding Item D6. She explained that the new home proposed to the south of her home will block their view of the valley. She asked in several meetings to share the view and they felt the owners should lower their home by 5 additional feet. She indicated that just meeting the requirements is not enough and the value of her home will be lessened if the home is built as proposed and she believes she has not been "heard". Paul Bardos said he owns a lot on the south side of Camino Predera. He said he has been a builder for 40 years and understands the lot challenges. He said this project well designed, it has grading challenges and some retaining walls but they achieved excellent balance to keep the profile low and minimize view obstructions. He said he has built two homes on this street; they did an excellent job. Chairman Oaxaca closed the public hearing. Nick Ghirelli, Assistant City Attorney recommended the Chairman allow the applicant to reply. The applicant declined. Commissioner Wimberly thanked Mr. van der Zwaag for the comprehensive report and thanked the applicants for diligently working with and considering the neighbors. Commissioner Guglielmo noted a letter requesting the applicants to lower the height of the home 5 more feet. Mr. van der Zwaag said they looked into it but it would have required more retaining walls. Chairman Oaxaca said this is an example of we will see more of in the future — more challenging properties. He said it takes lot of extra work to fit in these existing neighborhoods. He said we have to look for the best possible outcome. This applicant met and exceeded the requirements and achieved the best balance possible and addressed as many concerns of the neighbors as possible.

PLANNING COMMISSION C1. PRE -APPLICATION REVIEW DRC2017-00960 — LEWIS MANAGEMENT CORP. - A request for a Pre -Application Review of the features and open space amenities within and along The Resort Parkway (formerly The Vine), a public street pending construction within the Empire Lakes Specific Plan, Planning Area 1, located north of 4th Street, south of 6th Street, west of Milliken Avenue, and east of Utica/Cleveland Avenues. The specific location Page 1 of 5 FEBRUARY PLANNING COMMISSION WORKSHOP MINUTES RAINS ROOM RANCHO CUCAMONGA CIVIC CENTER 10500 CIVIC CENTER DRIVE RANCHO CUCAMONGA, CALIFORNIA of the project site is length of The Resort Parkway that will be located between 4th and 6th Streets. Mike Smith, Senior Planner gave a brief overview of the area being discussed (The Resort Parkway). He noted the City's responsibility will be limited to the curb to curb areas and not the furnishings and amenities. He said the south half of the parkway will be discussed tonight but will generally the concepts will be replicated to the north. The northern half will be specifically discussed at a later time. Bill Kennedy of Lewis Companies made the opening remarks and introductions. He said some things will change but the core ideas will remain. All 15 parklets/seating areas will be unique and different with identifying plaques/signage. Rick Polhamus, of Sitescapes (consultant for Lewis Companies) gave a Powerpoint presentation explaining the major highlights of the Resort Parkway (previously referred to as "The Vine'). Mr. Kennedy said the 15th space is the lobby area entrance to the community building reviewed at the last meeting. Commissioner Wimberly said he liked the way the amenities are established in tabletops/parklets and said it will be a fantastic draw for the parkway. He said because they are all different it will appeal to a broad demographic whether they are residents or visitors. Commissioner Macias agreed and said the uniqueness is what makes it exciting and different with different amenities. He said its "pretty cool"; he said he is relatively impressed. Commissioner Guglielmo echoed the remark. He said it looks like a mix between downtown Claremont and the Gas Lamp District. He noted the length is about % mile long. He inquired about the proposed speed limit. Mr. Kennedy said the intent is to calm/slow traffic down. He said the speed would be no more than about 30-35 mph. Mr. Smith referred to exhibit E and said the Parkway is designed to be pedestrian oriented and utilized by a variety of transit modes including bikes. He said there are opportunities to slow down traffic with roundabouts, on -street parking, tabletop crossings. He estimated it would likely be 25-30 mph. He said the vision/model for this street was the streets in Victoria Page 2 of 5 FEBRUARY 14, 2018 PLANNING COMMISSION WORKSHOP MINUTES RAINS ROOM RANCHO CUCAMONGA CIVIC CENTER . 10500 CIVIC CENTER DRIVE RANCHO CUCAMONGA, CALIFORNIA Gardens where people will want to slow down not just for safety but because so much is going on -there is much to see. Commissioner Guglielmo asked if the parking stalls will be "first come first served". Mr. Kennedy said they are at this point. He said they may look into some parking controls and make sure resident's garages are not filled with stuff instead of their vehicles which would increase the likelihood of them parking on the parkway. He said they can set controls for the parking in the private areas. Chairman Oaxaca thanked them for talking about the calming effect of slower traffic. He said Victoria Gardens plays out as very pedestrian friendly. He said he likes the variety, the focus on key pieces of vegetation such as a big tree, the incorporation of light features and nice interactive spaces. He asked about the use of palm trees -as he has been personally bothered by them. He asked what do you do when they get so tall and ladder trucks have to be used for their maintenance and then their height diminishes their impact to the context of the rest of the landscape. He asked if there are any other options. He said he does not want to see the "29 palms" view. Mr. Polhamus said the palms go well with the architecture and massing of the structures. He said they have incorporated a mixed scale of trees; some linear and tall, others provide shade. He said there is a balance and a rhythmic repetition of the palms but there are various types of trees worked in to break them up. Commissioner Macias said a neighbor of his has a 50-footer and it does nothing for the neighborhood. Randall Lewis of the Lewis Companies asked if there will be conflict with the street lights. Mr. Polhamus said no, they are curved out from the street and they are about 10 feet from the streetlights. D. ADJOURNMENT 4 The meeting adjourned at 8:45 PM. I, Lois J.

The Police indicate this is a normal range of calls for service. Page 2 of 8 V/'11YV/11ti L-Fv ACV 10 HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMISSION AND PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES RANCHO CUCAMONGA CIVIC CENTER COUNCIL CHAMBERS 10500 CIVIC CENTER DRIVE RANCHO CUCAMONGA, CALIFORNIA Commissioner Wimberly noted that in the past, the prior owners put out advertisements and the clientele they drew at the time was not desirable. He said the Commission can review the permit in 6 months. Ms. Cavazos said the Police will have all the calls received detailed and can be discussed at that review. Chairman Oaxaca opened the public hearing Anne Lungu, a local resident expressed concern re: noise and amplified music. She questioned if there is no dancing allowed, why would they need bands. She said she believes they will have dancing anyway. She reported that in December all her doors and windows were closed and she could still hear the DJ and music until about 1:30 a.m. She said they were doing it without a permit and expressed concern that if they are willing to do it without a permit, they may go ahead and do things with the permit anyway. She said summer will be worse because her windows will be open. She said she believes 10:00 p.m. during the week and Friday & Saturday at 12:00 p.m. is late enough for entertainment. She said decibel rating is too loud -should be lowered. She said she did not see how the findings required could be met because her quality of life is compromised. She said she is concerned about loitering and other activities. She asked if the doors will be closed to the outside patio. She said the CUP should expire if these owners leave and she would like some other use at that location. Mike Towles said he appreciated her comments. He noted that he initially believed the CUP and EP were together and he noted that was their fault. He said they are responsible with the entertainment and have a decibel meter. He said the goal is to keep customers there and for them to enjoy their visit and listen to live music. He said there is not heavy metal being played, it is a mellow crowd with a focus on food. He said he also owns Corky's. Chairman Oaxaca closed the public hearing. Commissioner Macias said he did not have any major problems with the application. He said we need to give the owner a shot at doing it for 6 months to see if they can do it without complaints. He said the Commission will re-evaluate the permit in 6 months. Commissioner Munoz said he hears the concerns of the neighbor. He concurred with Commissioner Macias -give them opportunity to see if moving forward they can be successful Page 3 of 8 VP11V V/1R I L1'J L.V 1 V HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMISSION AND PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES RANCHO CUCAMONGA CIVIC CENTER COUNCIL CHAMBERS 10500 CIVIC CENTER DRIVE RANCHO CUCAMONGA, CALIFORNIA and re-evaluate. He said we do have a good relationship with the police and if it is not working we will come back and can revoke the permit if necessary. He cautioned the owner and noted that their success can be easily tripped up by little things like leaving the door open. He said they need to watch the small stuff and be vigilant - sound travels. He said we should give the owner the opportunity to prove it can work. He told the applicant that if they have issues, they can come see us for assistance. Commissioner Wimberly concurred with Commissioners Macias and Munoz. He reiterated his concern about the type of customers that had frequented the establishment. He said they have a security plan in place and their staff have to monitor the doors and he cautioned that they are under review. Commissioner Guglielmo concurred. Chairman Oaxaca emphasized that between staff and police the City is active in monitoring permits. He said we want businesses to succeed but also businesses must operate by the letter of the permit issued. He said the Commission will review it in 6 months and anytime thereafter. He said it has happened before and can happen again. He stated the applicants should read the permit and do what it says. He added that we are optimistic and want an acceptable outcome. Moved by Munoz, seconded by Wimberly, carried 5-0 to adopt the Resolution Approving Entertainment Permit DRC2017-00734. The Commission will review the permit in 6 months. D2.

He recommended that it should be noted in the report and the exhibit maps that the Preserve is nearby. Mr. Perez agreed to the validity of the point, and stated that it would be noted in the future. Chairman Oaxaca opened the public hearing. Natasha Walton stated she appreciated the mentioned preserve. She asked that the environmental review be reevaluated as it was analyzed in 2004, things have changed, many developments have come in since then. She said she doubted that all that has been considered and they are barely able to manage the preserve as it is -she mentioned Alluvial Fan Sage Scrub is endangered. She said they should look at new issues in the area as plant and wildlife populations can change over time. John Schafer stated he represents the owner. He said they have continued to do endangered species surveys over the years and no new information regarding endangered species has occurred there. He said they also have conservation land provided. Commissioner Guglielmo asked if there is any indication as to when development there is anticipated. Mr. Schafer noted they also own land to the south that has 388 homes entitled. He said there have been delays in satisfying the environmental permits. He said the plans for the property to the south are in engineering plan check and following that it could take a few more, years before development occurs. Chairman Oaxaca closed the public hearing. Commissioner Munoz said this is fairly routine, there are extensions available to them., and he recommended approval. Commissioner Wimberly concurred. Commissioner Guglielmo concurred.

He noted contemporary architecture is largely acceptable and that this design incorporates 360-degree architecture that will be visible from 6"' Street. He said there is -movement of the wall planes and it is an interesting building design. Bill Kennedy, representing the applicant's team said the facility will serve the for -sale dwelling owners both north and south of 6`" Street and that there will be another facility further south for rental unit residents. Cathy Baranger, of WHA Architects said she worked on the specific plan and analyzed the design for consistency with the plan -using materials such as non -fading wood tiles and high -quality windows. Mr. Kennedy provided samples of the exterior stucco and noted the wood the (2 variations) will be used both on the pool area pathway to the ION and on vertical surfaces of the building. He noted the large rectangular cream -colored stone will be used for building cladding. He reviewed the Interior spaces of the building plans. Commissioner Guglielmo asked if the public art will be at a fixed location. Mr. Kennedy said there is an entrance piece proposed but will require levels of review. He said there are 5 panels that are flexible -any medium can be used, they are replaceable and removable. He said the replacement program needs to be developed. Commissioner Guglielmo asked if the pool has a "beach entry" and if the dog area is separate from the pool area. Mr. Kennedy replied affirmatively and noted the pool entry tapers and then meets the lap pool entry; there is a gradual increase of depth. He said there is pool fencing and there are two dog -washing stations that are separate from each other and have dedicated perimeter fencing. Chairman Oaxaca asked for final Commission comments. Commissioner Munoz said it is good work for a first shot -well done. Commissioner Oaxaca said the applicant did a very nice job; they articulated the specific plan well with design and material choices.
