SUBTPM20006. A Mitigated Negative Declaration of environmental impacts has been
prepared for consideration. CONTINUED FROM NOVEMBER 13, 2019 HPC/PC MEETING.
Mike Smith, Principal Planner, gave the Staff Report. We received additional comments from
Lozeau Drury LLP for the Initial Study/Mitigation Negative Declaration yesterday and because
of its complexity, staff and applicant will need more time to evaluate and make a determination
to the next step. We are requesting to continue to a date unspecified.
Rebecca Davis representing Supporters Alliance for Environmental Responsibility and is
requesting the City withdraw the MND due to it may have a significant environmental impact
and asking to prepare an EiR for the project. Observed wildlife of at least 50 special status
species on site. Also, may have a significant human health risk impact. Requesting Planning
Commission to decline and send back to staff to prepare an EIR to address these issues.
Michael Morris is the Entitlement Developer for the Scheu Management Corporation; he had
originally planned to answer any questions today but due to the letter received yesterday and
the project being continued to a future date, we are disappointed about it, but we will deal with
it, review the letter and we hope to see you next month.
Craig Scheu represented the Scheu family and spoke to his family's history in Rancho
Cucamonga and Upland area for 6 generations. He understands the situation but is frustrated
due to the timing issue with this project.
Commissioner Bryan Dopp mentioned that getting a 120-page letter in 24 hours before a
meeting, it's hard to get through the material fast. It does present a lot of difficulties to make
a formal decision. Looking forward to discerning the facts and sort out the differences and
hoping to get to hear it in January.
Chairman Guglielmo asked Attorney Nick Ghirelli, "Early on in the phase, how do you
differentiate whether a project needs to be full EIR"?

C. DISCUSSION ITEMS PLANNING COMMISSION
C1. Pre -Application Review.DRC2019-00896 -. Lewis Management Corporation — A
request for a Pre -Application Review of a proposed mixed -use development of 643 for -
rent apartments and 12,425 square -feet of commercial floor area on a vacant, 17.1-acre
site consisting of six parcels within the Mixed Use Financial, Restaurants, Residential
(MFC) District, Terra Vista, Planned Community, located at the northwest corner of
Foothill Boulevard and Milliken Avenue; APNs: 1077-422-51, -55, -98, and 799 and
1090-121-38, and -39.
David Eoff, Sr. Planner, gave a presentation of the project site (copy on file). He stated tonight
we will focus mostly on three-story walk ups but will be able to answer any questions you may
have about the four-story wrap building with any concerns or comments.
Commissioner Williams asked about the interior of the apartment, is it one long hall with just
doors?
David Eoff answered yes, essentially, it's a long corridor. Mentioned that Brian Jacobson will
discuss further in more detail after presentation.
Commissioner Dopp asked about the four-story wrap with the residential units, will some of
them be looking out at the parking lot interior?
David Eoff replied no, there is a wall. They will not have any windows looking into the parking .
structure. There is a corridor separating the structure from the apartments.
Mike Smith, Principal Planner, provided some background and contents how we arrived at
this particular project and the City's overall vision. Making sure we are providing a diverse
housing options for the community. One way is to start looking at mixed -use development.
Also, the proximity of this location (Foothill Blvd. and Milliken Ave.) within the City to get
people to drive less so all the amenities are close by where they live whether it be a
commercial or workplace destination. Expectations by the City is that the wrap building has
to be part of this project. It cannot be separated or cannot. be something that happens 20
years down the road or not at all. At some point be built along with this project in the future

so it operates as a unified development. This project will be a contributor to the City's overall
vision.
Brian Jacobson, Vice President Lewis Mgmt. Corp., introduced his staff before giving his
presentation. Addressing points of what they have done with regard to pedestrian safety,
realigned and made sure to fill in some of the gaps with crosswalks and adding a wider
sidewalk. Also, revised some of the parking, redesigning to add additional parking because
they wanted to reduce some of the spaces along interior streets and replace with landscape.
Also, changed to angled parking, formerly was per -particular head in parking.
Chairman Guglielmo asked if they lost the fitness center?
Brian Jacobson replied, at the base of the wrap building, the commercial spaces being too
broken up at the Plaza. They significantly revised that. Discussed using a portion of that for
the fitness amenity. Serving two purposes; 1) if helps address the challenges on the siding
and 2) it also guarantees we will .have activity in that commercial space along Foothill Blvd.
with people working out and believe it will help the marketing factor in that space. Also,
creating a little plaza area through landscaping elements to again make those entrances into
the building more identifiable. They are pleased staff likes the architecture style they landed
on. This modern farm, it's around a lot now and very popular especially in mixed -use type
settings. With regard to landscaping comments, it has been enhanced. Staff wanted
landscaping to feel more urban, more paying, more plaza type feel at the corner. Rick and
his team have started exploring ways to do that. They are hitting all of the key amenities that
are market and demographic like and expected in a modern community. They intend to have
a beautiful roof deck on the top of the four-story wrap building. By mixing the amenities, they
are really encouraging folks, regardless which product they are living in, give them opportunity
to interact with neighbors.
Commissioner Williams asked regarding the parking, will there be breaks or will there be a
long street of solid cars?
Brian Jacobson replied, about every 4 stalls there is landscape and a tree at the end of it and
drive -isle part.

Commissioner Morales asked about the four-story parking structure. It's open on north side
and looks like there's grass. Are you able to fit in cypress trees similar to Victoria Gardens
parking structure? Is it possible to fit in for visual?
Brian Jacobson replied in the green area that is shown, it's designed that way to keep the
parking structure open in such a way it does not have to be mechanically ventilated.- That
really achieves two objectives; it's less expensive and less difficult to maintain and it does
draw light down into it.
Commissioner Morales asked about the plaza area on Foothill Boulevard, is there going to
be art work like Route 66 or a monument?
Brian Jacobson replied we do have an art requirement. How they are going to meet that has
not yet been defined. If that is an important element that the Commissioners would like to
see, similar to the Resort where we designed the art pieces and became street furniture, we
are certainly open to that.
Commissioner Oaxaca asked, was there any consideration of taking the commercial portion
and wrapping the corner and bring it up on Milliken at any extent?
Brian Jacobson replied the primary concern and challenge is it's just further and further from
available parking. It makes the commercial space more attractive. It gives us flexibility when
trying to occupy the commercial space.
Commissioner Oaxaca stated he can tell that they already have some interface between the
walk-up fronts and sidewalks and it would be nice when you are ready to get a more of a
ground level or a.3D regiment and what that interface looks like.
Brian Jacobson .replied, this edge is from a constructability stand point, it's the most
challenging because there is a pretty good grade fall. They will be working more closely to
figure out the best way to accommodate that grade change, how to create attractive
landscaping slopping and walkways. Once they define that better, they will be able to create
sections and give an ideal during the DRC process of what this will look like.
Commissioner Dopp thanked the Lewis Homes and team for putting together and taking a lot
of time to deliberate about the thought they put into a project like this. Mentioned the roof

deck can potentially provide that extra element for recreation. Suggested to maybe look at
different color palates other than white.
Brian Jacobson mentioned that they have a lot of exploration and additional work to do on
refining what the buildings will look like.
Commissioner Dopp continued stating that he is concerned -with the scope of this size about
traffic pattern, not walkability but vehicles from a peek standpoint you may have too many
people leaving the parking unit at the same time with 650 units that maybe 800 different cars
leaving this project at some point, you might end up with an issue.
Brian Jacobson stated they will be doing a significant analysis on all sorts of issues, as this
gets further along. Traffic is a big concern. They will do an extensive analysis on the traffic
related issues. Mentioned the parking garage has two exits and entrees which will facilitate
during high traffic time.
Randall Lewis added, they are getting a lot of healthcare workers. People working swing/
night shift and with all of their projects, they encourage homebased businesses and
telecommuters.
Commissioner Dopp lastly regarding the interior walkway for a lot of these units, he
encourages maybe turn a least a couple of units where you have the doors facing the
walkway/ exterior'on Church Street facing the North or main three block facing the South to
allow extra opportunities for interaction and people to get out rather than being confined to an
open space.
Commissioner Williams asked about accommodation for handicap accessibility?
Brian Jacobson answered that all the ground floor units on the three story walk up/ground
buildings are required to be accessible to their.front door and are elevator served.
Commissioner Williams stated she is pleased to know they have smaller units for lower rent
and asked what is the average unit size?
Brian Jacobson answered, the overall average unit size on both product types are 792 sq. ft.
Studios range 513 — 600 sq. ft. The average in the ground walk up building is 715 sq. ft.

Chairman Guglielmo stated this is a completely different layout and believes they went the
extra mile to cater to the new plan of the City. The new innovation and urban style living.
Commented they listened to the City and made a ton of great additions and modifications.
Asked the question about the front entry/ loop area if it will that be a dedicated uber lift type
pickup area? If so, he likes the idea.
Brian Jacobson answered they have not defined the ride/pickup location yet but stated they
do incorporate those in all their communities now.
Commissioner Williams stated that regarding the Senior's and subsidized. housing.
Commented that something like this looks like a fun place to live and they can accommodate
nicely and she likes the idea of having smaller units.
As a recap Mike Smith, Principal Planner summarized the comments for the purpose of staff
to work with the applicants, so we all are hearing the same thing:
• General consensus.- Commissioners are all fine with the Architecture
• Concern was the color white — look into something different
• Applicants alone - come back to PC slightly refined
• . Parking/ traffic will all be analyzed
• Integration of the Arts — Route 66
- Randall Lewis asked, does it have to be Rt. 66? Commissioners said no.
Chairman Guglielmo mentioned to give them more leeway on choosing their own
style.
Randall Lewis stated they have a brand but just don't know what it is yet.
Something that will speak to customers and what they will relate to. Stated that
the City might be ready for something new.

to the neighborhood area from the rural conservation area. Property owners within the rural
conservation area will ultimately have the choice to sell their development rights or develop
privately on their own.
Commissioner Dopp asked for clarification on the flooding issues in Deer Creek and Day
Creek.
Tony Locacciato, Meridian Consulting, stated that the CEQA analysis evaluated the flood,
performance and maintenance data of those basins provided by the County and determined
that they are quite adequate to handle flood debris.
Chairman Guglielmo asked about the expansion of the retail uses in the commercial area,
specifically medical uses in the upstairs units only.
Mr. Burris explained that to maintain fiscal neutrality, it was important to permit retail uses Y`
which provide sales tax support while allowing other service -based uses without
compromising the ability to maintain and support retail uses. Mr. Burris further explained that
second story uses could be elevator served.
Nick GhireNi stated that all projects would be required to meet ADA accessibility standards.
Chairman Guglielmo stated that he would prefer not to see vacant space.

that the City and County have prevented property owners from getting to their property for
maintenance.
Judy Brennan stated opposition to the project. Risking loss of trust in the City. Any home
north of Banyan was supposed to be half acre. Does not believe the plan will be followed.
Concerned that trails will not be constructed and does not have accurate trail connections from
east to west. Trails are needed for equestrian uses as well as evacuation.
Don Horvatich expressed his concern that the community plan doesn't match the surrounding
area, and the desire for no retail in the area.
Sami Muller asked how strongly is the conservation area designated and for how long? Is the
housing proposed going to look like what is in the plan?
William Gibson is concerned about the number of cars and the traffic impacts between Day
Creek and Milliken. Asked about the impacts to schools.
Mark Gibboney is opposed to the plan because the idea of open space was not evaluated.
The community was not part of the 2017 plan. Stated Federal agencies recommend
conservation of the land. Does not like the small lot development. Community asked for large
lots only. The plan is a done deal — public wasn't asked.
Alexander Cunningham expressed he represents the area east of preserve to Fontana City
limits — 400 acres. Planning Department met with us to address compatibility. Confused with
the transfer of development rights. 'Likes rural life and don't understand why they need to be
brought into the City. They don't fit.
Mary Linden Keith mentioned she is opposed to the plan because this is the Deer Creek Wash.
80 foot gorilla above the wash. Homes already there should not be there. Should not add
more homes. Concerned about flood impacts of Deer Creek.

Outreach — One -of the most extensive the City has every embarked upon. Multiple, workshops
in multiple parts of the city, social media, electronic and in person. The City tried to bring a
broad and wide balanced perspective to the Commission for consideration. The City reached
out to land owners in the rural area, as well.
Fiscal responsibility — Focus is on the financial burden on the. City. For example; fire, police,
and public services. Low property tax city, retail needed to supplement funds needed to
support civic services.
Conservation land — How long? Designed to be set up forever, provides for an endowment
for lands to be managed in perpetuity.
Architectural styles - Craftsman, Spanish, Mid Century and Ranch, similar to surrounding
areas.
Traffic - Thoroughly detailed in the EIR, found that adding another east -west road north of the
210 will help alleviate pressure on Banyan.
Plan anticipates another new K-8 school on Wilson to divert traffic from Banyan.
Plan should have been open space. Considered this in great detail. Cost was estimated at
over $100.million. There is no revenue stream available to fund.
Balance community vision, property rights and fiscal responsibility.
Water supply assessment was provided by CVWD and found adequate water supplies,
conservation is mandated by the State.
Commissioner Oaxaca commented on Flood Control and is hoping to see in the documents
in response to comments. Reference to documents from various regulatory agencies related
to flood control—. gap for him — unable to square historical documents with justifications in the
final EIR. What is the relevance of the historical documents? Are they wrong? Out of date?
Improvements made over the year changed factors? Would have liked a side -by -side
comparison of historical documents and FEIR conclusions. Similar concerns with fire danger.
If historical documents are relevant, how are they being addressed?

Mr. Burris responded to help in navigating documents — 2003 Grand Prix Fire — able to take
bad fire and water storm and test the flood control facilities. Basins are not dams, not intended
to hold water., Intended to contain debris and to keep it out of channels. Help to understand
that the levy has been certified by FEMA. Is a diversion mechanism to help direct flows into
the channel; Systems has been tested many times over. Staff visited the site many times
during and after significant rain storm to understand how the infrastructure worked during and
after a rain storm. Water virtually not on the site because everything is working as it should.
Flood District did an amazing job and spent millions of dollars to protect our downstream.
neighborhoods.
Mr. Locacciato explained some of the changes made to the areas by the Army Corps of
Engineers and Flood Control Channel.
Commissioner Oaxaca asked about the role of the property owners in the LAFCO decision
making process.
Mr. Ghirelli and Mr. Burris provided a brief explanation of the LAFCO process and after LAFCO
approved an annexation, with an ability for protest vote.
Commissioner Wimberly asked about outreach with property owners within the conservation
area and if enough outreach has been done.
Mr. Burris explained that we have reached out to many property owners and residents, with
some response. We continue to initiate conversations throughout the process.
Commissioner Dopp asked if outreach is still available to interested parties and could changes
be made necessary before City Council.
Mr. Burris said yes, conversations can and will be ongoing throughout the process.
Chairman Guglielmo offered each commissioner time to comment.
Commissioner Dopp stated that the City has done a lot of outreach and provided data to
support it. Feels that annexation allows for local control that was supported by outreach data.
While some may not agree with all parts of the project, it is important that people feel heard.
Preserving as much of the conservation area as important for the long term. Properties

change and development desires change overtime. This plan is the best opportunity to allow
for some development and preserve out open space.
Commissioner Dopp further stated he understands the concern about traffic. Agrees that
adding another east -west access may help alleviate traffic along Banyan and Vintage. is
happy to see buffers with the adjacent residential community. Wonders if the TDR option ;will
work. Understands the need for commercial uses. Recognizes that while half acre homes are
nice, we must think of the long term and the cost and availability of housing for the next
generations. The City has done their best to make a plan that, is the most palatable to most
residents.
Commissioner Oaxaca thanked staff and the team for the efforts to date to develop the plan
and reach out to the community and listen to that input. Notes two points from public: 1. Apply
local control; 2. Maximize the area that can be conserved. Conservation takes resources to
prevent the area from deteriorating. This plan allows us to create the resources to make the
conservation happen.
Commissioner Oaxaca recognized the traffic concerns brought up by the public. Feels that
the completion of Wilson Avenue will help. The goal is to bring the best possible plan to meet
the most needs of those who have a current and future stake in Rancho Cucamonga.
Commissioner Wimberly thanked staff for their work and believes that this is the best plan for
the future of the City. Concurs with Commissioners Dopp and Oaxaca. Wants to make sure
that the TDR ratios support conservation.
Commissioner Munoz thanked public. for coming out to participate in the process.
Understands that not all may agree with the plan, but it is the Commissions job to look at the
long term. Plan is comprehensive, thorough and allows for local control, addresses
conservation of the open space and connected the plan to the General Plan while maintaining
fiscal responsibility. Glad to see the addition of roadway segments that will alleviate stress
during school pick up and drop off times. Pleased with the expansion of the trails network,
architectural styles and development standards. Supports the plan.
Chairman Guglielmo thanked the public for their participation. Goal is to look at the overall
view of the City and decide what is best for the City as a whole. Believes in private property
rights and empathetic to those that may not agree. We have an unbelievable city and we have
an opportunity to make it even better. The plan creates additional trails and parks which we

of 39.68 acres located within the Empire Lakes Specific Plan, Planning Area 1, located north

Avenues. The location of the project site is south of 6th Street and west of The Resort
Parkway; APN: 0210-102-08 through -10.
Vincent Acuna, Associate Planner, gave the staff report and presentation starting with
a .review the vision of the Empire Lakes Specific Plan as a walkable mixed -use
community within biking/walking distance to job centers and. transit. He also discussed
the importance of street connections, building plotting, architecture and floor plans, and
parking, and how each of these items collectively contribute to achieving the Specific
Plan's vision. (PowerPoint on file).
The Commissioners appreciated the good report.
Mr. Brian" Jacobson, with Lewis Development Corp., stated that they believe their
proposal is consistent with the vision of the Specific Plan, and were excited to present
the project. They wanted to focus on delivering on the Specific Plan's vision by
proposing an open community that is connected and complimentary with the
surrounding development. He presented a broad range of building types with variety in
both the exterior elevations and floor plans. He stated that the project will be all rentals
with a separate 16, 000 sq. ft. lease and rental facility with a large gym and amenities
offered.
Mr. Scott, the architect with Lewis Development, explained in more detail the applicant's
intent for their landscape plan. He stated that the Lewis Group's vision for the next
generation developments is for residents to engage and interact in many ways with each
other. This is reflected in the pedestrian emphasis of the landscaping design and the
number of paseos that connect multiple neighborhoods within The. Resort.
Mr. Randall Lewis, with Lewis Development, stated this is, the largest project they have
ever done. They have put a lot of thought into the placement of all of the buildings. He
added that the project is,unique from all the previous projects they've done in Rancho

community. He liked that the streetscape appears to be easy to navigate as a result of
the proposed grid pattern and small blocks.
Commissioner Dopp asked about how the 1000-foot, long interior street parallel to the
Resort Parkway could be .shortened to break up what seemingly was a long walk for
residents.
Mr. Jacobson stated that the Parkway is designed with unique table top cross walks and
art installations in the parklets that will help break up the length of the street. He offered
some solutions that could tie-in the tabletop crossings on Resort Parkway with the
parallel interior street and alley through the use of landscape and minor building plotting
changes.
Commissioner Dopp, agreed with the idea and asked the applicant to continue working
with staff to develop a solution.
Mr. Acuna discussed the importance of window and door placement from the sidewalk
in creating a safe vibrant public realm and explained a couple of best practices.
Mr. Burris pointed out that there are a large number of options for achieving a vibrant
public realm," and that the Planning Commission has the latitude to explore other
architectural options to activate the public realm. ,
Mr. Mike Smith stated that working with Mr. Jacobson and Lewis members on the
project layout was the key to try and create what future residents would enjoy through
the creation of a walkable neighborhood with different architectural styles.
Mr Jacobson appreciated the comments of the Commissioners and wanted to know if
there were any other thoughts for improvement.
Commissioner Dopp said he likes the grid pattern and how parking is hidden within the
block interiors.. He stated that he believes that applicant accomplished the vision of the
Empire Lakes Specific Plan, and to continue working with staff to resolve minor issues
brought up during staff's presentation.

Mike Smith, Principal Planner, gave the Staff Report and Power Point presentation (copy on

Commissioner Dopp asked about recourse for violations of historic structures. Mr. Smith
explained that sometimes modifications are made without awareness of the City. Mr. Ghirelli
added that the City has the option to terminate the Mills Act contract if deemed appropriate
which provides tax consequences to the property owner.
Mr. Smith added that the applicant asked for two revisions to Condition #2 requiring period
correct windows as that was not originally in the consultant's recommendations for returning
the historic house to its original character and they are impractical to source. Staff is
supportive of this revision. They further asked that the remaining portions of that condition not
be tied to the recordation of the final map. Mr. Smith consulted with the City Attorney and that
is not possible. The applicant was informed of this prior to the meeting.
Steve Landis, applicant, thanked staff for their work on the project. He explained that they are
fixing issues that were the result of the previous property owner. They are dedicated to
restoring the home to the condition similar to other historic homes restored by other
developers.
Vice Chairman Wimberly asked the applicant if they are accepting the revised condition

Mr. Acuna stated that the parking does exceed the parking required by the City. A parking
study has been provided and it does meet the requirements. Since they are targeted for

additional parking issues.

age but caters to someone that averages 83 years of age. He stated that visitors and staff
will take parking spaces, but that the reality is not many residents will use them.

regarding additional parking and using the street.

INTER -AGENCY UPDATES: Commissioner Munoz gave an update from League of California Cities
regarding continued discussion about Governor Newsome's goal to build more housing. The League
sees it as increased State oversight and control of local governments. A primary concern is the State's
ability to take transportation funds from the City if housing production is lower than regional housing
requirements.
Commissioner Oaxaca commented that cities don't build, developers build.
Commissioner Munoz agreed and said that cities can't compel developers to build a certain number of
housing and said he anticipates continued conversation in Sacramento regarding this issue. He wants
the residents to be aware that the State can take away the City's ability to condition projects. There are
-numerous proposed Bills that could potentially prohibit the City from controlling development.
Commissioner Dopp asked if there is data on where the city is with meeting the housing needs

Commissioner Dopp asked Mr. Cockroft if there are any future plans for the winery and if they
will be maintaining the vines.
Mr. Cockroft replied that they are not prepared to address future plans for the winery at this
time and yes, the vines are part of the landscape plan and they will also be incorporating
additional vines throughout the facility.
Chairman Guglielmo opened the public hearing and after seeing and hearing no one, closed
the public hearing.
Commissioner Dopp expressed concern that the letter from the applicant would set a
precedent for future applicants to avoid applying for historic designation.
Candyce Burnett, City Planner, replied that the City has additional tools in place to ensure
properties with potential historic value are protected. These include the authority to start the
process of historical designation over owner objection per the Historical Preservation
ordinance and ensuring projects are consistent with the historic integrity of the property
through the Minor Development review process, and asking applicants to do a cultural
resource analysis, Additionally, Ms. Burnett clarified the letter is first an acknowledgement that
the properly is historic, and they could be required to take additional steps if, in the future,
significant changes were to be made to the project site.
Nick Ghirelli, Assistant City Attorney, clarified that the letter is not a contract and a future land
use application on the properly would go through the CEQA process requiring a cultural
analysis be completed. The condition in the letter does riot negate the Historic Preservation
Ordinance in the Municipal Code.
