STAFF REPORT
DATE: June 24, 1992
TO: Chairman and Members of the Planning Commission
FROM: Brad Buller, City Planner
BY: Steven Ross, Assistant Planner
SUBJECT: TIME EXTENSION FOR TENTATIVE TRACT 13674 - MIGHTY DEVELOPMENT
- A residential subdivision consisting of 18 single family
lots on 11.29 acres of land in the Very Low Residential
District (less than 2 dwelling units per acre) located on the
west side of Amethyst Street north of Valley View Drive -
APN: 1061-401-03.
BACKGROUND: Tentative Tract 13674 was conditionally approved by the
Planning Commission on May 25, 1988. The original approval was for two
years, and since that date the applicant has been granted two 1-year
time extensions. On May 20, 1992, the applicant, Mighty Development,
requested another time extension in order to have additional time to
record the Final Map. The State Map Act, Section 66452.6, allows for up
to 36 months of extension, which may be granted in 12 month
increments. Because the applicant has already been granted two 1-year
extensions, the applicant is only allowed one more time extension, which
would require the map to record by May 25, 1993.
The Design Review for the homes for Tentative Tract 13674 was approved
by the Planning Commission on January 23, 1991. It consists of 18
custom homes which range from 3,845 to 5,215 square feet in size.
ANALYSIS: Staff has analyzed the proposed Time Extension request and
has compared the proposal with current development criteria outlined in
the Development Code. The project meets the Basic Standards for
development in the Very Low Residential District. Although the
Tentative Tract was approved prior to the adoption of the Hillside
Development Ordinance, it does meet the intent of the Ordinance.
FACTS FOR FINDINGS:
A. There have been no significant changes in the Land Use Element of
the General Plan, Development Code, or character of the area within
which the project is located, that would cause the approved project
to become inconsistent or non-conforming.
B. The granting of an extension should not be detrimental to the
public health, safety, or welfare or materially injurious to
properties or improvements in the vicinity.

RE: Tentative Tract 13674
Dear Steve:
Our tentative map will expire May 25, 1992. As you know, the
plan went through design review and was approved by the Planning
Commission on January 23, 1991.
Our engineer is working on the final map and public improvement
plan check corrections. Our architect has already finished 68%
of the working drawings and should finish completely in the next
six months.
We need more time to complete this project; we therefore request
time extension for one year.
Thank you.
Sincerely,

lVe have watoned with extreme regret the rural aspect of
this area completely disappear. The shee~ no longer graze
in the open fields. The orax~ge groves and vineyards have
vanished as if Dy a magician's wand.
The last vestiges are no- to ~e sacrificed--those fine,
old trees that nave stood tall through many a storm and

As to the number of houses, I believe will finally be

frontage with AC berm on the south side. Mayberry Avenue has existing
curb and gutter on the east side, 26 feet of pavement, and a low
retaining wall on the west side.
ANALYSIS: The purpose of this parcel map is two fold: to subdivide the west
two-thirds of the site into four hal f-acre parcel s, and to reserve property
surrounding the existing house on Mayberry Avenue (remainder parcel) for
future subdivision, per the attached master plan (Exhibit "C"). Street "A"
has been located such that future development on the south side o~ Wilson
Avenue can be accomodated by al igning another cul-de-sac with Street "A" .
Wil son Avenue will be widened on the north side, including the Mayberry
intersection, with a transition to existing pavement west of the west project
boundary (Exhibit "D"). Overhead utilities will be placed underground and the
Community Trail will be installed along the entire frontage, including the
remainder parcel.
The tentative parcel map was reviewed by the Trails Advisory Commitee on
December 18, 1991, and again on January 15, 1992. The committee recommended
approval of the tentative map with conditions to allow use of the perimeter
local trail by the remainder parcel, provide local trail access from Wilson
Avenue, and 1 ocate the drainage facilities on the project side of the local
trail on both the east and west sides. The north side facility must remain
north of the local trail to provide interim protection from offsite
undeveloped ~ ows.
Tree Removal Permt 92-03: A Tree Removal Permit application was submitted, as
project improvements will necessitate the removal of several trees located
within and adjacent to project boundaries. The project site currently
contains one Eucalyptus windrow 1 ocated along the north property line, a
former citrus grove, and several ornamental trees scattered throughout
(Exhibit "E"). In addition to these trees there is a Eucalyptus windrow
directly adjacent to the "Remainder Parcel" and located within the Mayberry
Avenue ultimate right-of-way that will be effected by project improvements.
An arborist's report was prepared to evaluate the condition of these trees and
to determine the possibility of transplanting the tree(s) within project
boundaries. Only those trees ~ffected by improvements were considered for
transplanting. Those trees adjacent to the existing residence will be
preserved in place.
Only one of the trees surveyed, the large Coast Live Oak tree nea~ the corner
of Wil son and Mayberry, was recommended for preservation by the arborist.
Although preserving in place is the preferred method, transplanting may be
necessary if the 75-foot crown of the Oak tree interferes with safe travel
along Wil son. The remaining trees should be removed because they are dead,
diseased (i.e. borer bee~ e), confi ict with proposed street improvements, o~
exhibit poor structure. Tree replacement is required by Municipal Code
Section 19.08.100.

PROJECT AND SITE DESCRIPTION:
A. Action RecXuested bX Applicant: Approval of a Modification to
Conditional Use Permit 90-42 to allow the construction of a drive-
thru restaurant and approval of specific designs for same-
B. Applicable Regulations: Drive-thru restaurants are permitted uses
within the Regional Related Commercial District and typically only
require the approval of a Development Review application. However,
a modification to the original Conditional Use Permit for the
Victoria Courtyard shopping center is required because the master
plan did not show a drive-thru restaurant in this location.

ANALYSIS:
A. Background: The master plan for the Victoria Courtyard shopping
center, Conditional Use Permit 90-42, was approved by the Planning
Commission on July 10, 1991. The integrated shopping center
consists of 13 commercial buildings totaling 316,414 square feet and
a service station on 31 acres of land generally bounded by Foothill
Boulevard, Day Creek Boulevard, the Devore Freeway, and a Southern
California Edison Utility Corridor.
The approved master plan for the shopping center indicated a 3,523
square foot sit-down restaurant on the freestanding pad where the
Carl's Jr- drive-thru restaurant is now proposed, contigious to
Foothill Boulevard.
B. General: The project consists of a 3,535 square foot building and a
900 square foot patio with a ball crawl and outdoor eating area.
The drive-thru aspect complies with the Planning Commission's design
goals and policies for drive-thru uses, as established by Resolution
No. 88-96. A stacking distance of 210 feet, enough for 11-12 cars,
has been provided between the pick-up window and the drive-thru
entrance which should prevent conflicts between drive-thru users and
customers wishing to park and order' inside the restaurant- The
drive-thru will be screened on all sides through the use of building
orientation, grade differences, berming, screen walls, landscaping,
and a wrought iron lattice- A truck loading/unloading area has been
provided adjacent to an exterior circulation aisle. Access to the
site will be available from Foothill and Day Creek Boulevards.
C. Design Review Committee: On April 16, 1992, the Committee (Tolstoy,
Vallette, Coleman) made the following comments and recommended
approval of the project subject to staff's review of the revised
plans prior to scheduling for the Planning Commission:
1. The ball crawl structure and any other equipment located in the
outdoor patio should be painted to match the primary colors of
the building.
2. A metal trellis matching that used around the patio should be
used on the east side of the drive-thru canopy to screen the
PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT
CUP 90-42 - CARL ]<ARCHER ENT.
June 24, 1992
Page 3
vehicles and piCk-up windows from adjacent properties and to
reduce the amount of wind in the pick-up area. Vines should be
densely planted along the base of the trellis.
3- A low wall and/or a higher berm should be provided adjacent to
the southern portion of the drive-thru lane to adequately
screen the cars.
4. The planter between the patio wall and the adjacent hardscape
should be widened to ensure the healthy survival of the
landscaping and to allow enough width for trees to be
planted. If possible, a specimen size tree should be planted
in the patio area to provide shade- Additional trees should be
planted around the entrance to the building-
5. Enhanced paving should be provided in the handicap parking
spaces because the spaces are often vacant and can double as an
extension to the plaza.
6. Although the restaurant's signage will be governed by the
uniform sign program for Victoria Courtyard, the Cormnittee
stated that the conceptual signage was not in scale with the
area between the arch and the cornice. To achieve the correct
sense of scale, the letter height should be reduced or the
available sign area should be increased-
All of the above comments have been addressed in the revised plans,
with the exception of the building's signage which will be reviewed
separately with the submittal of the uniform sign program for
Victoria Courtyard.
D. Technical Review Committee: The project was conceptually approved
by the Committee on April 15, 1992, subject to standard conditions
contained in the attached resolution of approval. The Grading
Committee approved the conceptual grading plan on May 14, 1992.
FACTS FOR FINDINGS: In order to approve the project, the following
facts for findings must be made:
A- The proposed modification is in accord with the General Plan, the
objectives of the Development Code, the Victoria Community Plan, and
the purposes of the district in which the site is located.
B- The proposed modification, together with the conditions applicable
thereto, will not be detrimental to the public health, safety, or
welfare or materially injurious to properties or improvements in the
vicinity.
C- The proposed modification complies with each of the applicable
provisions of the Development Code and the Victoria Community Plan-

to construct a 2,912 square foot fast food restaurant (with
drive-thru ) within a previously approved commercial retail

ANALYSIS:
A. General: The applicant is proposing to develop a 2,912 square
foot, drive-thru restaurant at the western end of the Foothill
Marketplace commercial center. The building has been sited to
orient the ~stacking portion of the driVe-thru lane to the side and
rear of the building, thereby minimizing visibility of the stacking
from Foothill Boulevard. That portion of the drive-thru lane along
the Foothill frontage will be used by vehicles exiting the pick-up
window. The design of the restaurant is consistent with the
architecture of the center.
B. Design Review Committee: The Design Review Committee (Melcher,
McNiel, Kroutil) originally reviewed the proposal on March 19,
1992, and recommended the following revisions to the plans:
1. The integral public art for the center should be reviewed and
approved prior to scheduling this project for the Planning
Commission. Once the extent of the public art and the impact
it may have on this site are known, the plans should be
revised accordingly.
2. Because the drive-thru lane on the north side of the building
will be for exiting and no stacking will occur, the Committee
felt that setback from the street was acceptable with the
inclusion of:
a- A retaining wall on the north side of the drive-thru lane
to bring the landscaping closer to street grade; and
b. Shrub planting along the Foothill frontage to further
screen the drive-thru lane.
3- Greater relief/treatment is needed on all elevations.
4. A trellis structure should be provided over the drive-thru
lane on the east elevation-
5. The Committee would consider the use of canopy trees around
the outdoor seating area in-lieu of a trellis-
6. Arched windows should be used under the arched elements of the
elevations-
7. Pre-cast columns should be used at the towers.
8. The applicant should explore reducing the drive aisle widths
to 26 feet (28 feet proposed) and shifting the building to the
west.
PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT
CUP 92-05 - IN-N-OUT BURGER
June 24, 1992
Page 3
9. The applicant should consider a 6-foot wall on the south side
of the building to screen and separate the delivery area from
the drive-thru and drive aisle.
Upon submittal of revised plans for consideration at the meeting of
April 16, 1992, the Committee (Melcher, McNiel, Kroutil)
recommended that further revisions be made to the project as
follows:
1. The retaining/screen wall on the east side of the drive-thru
lane should be revised to allow placement of the trellis
columns on top of the wall.
2. A minimum 20-foot wide landscape area should be provided on
the east side of the building between the drive-thru trellis
and the project entry-
3. The north window on the east elevation should be recessed to
provide consistent window detailing around the front of the
building-
4. Relocate the keystone elements from above the arches to the
building corners-
5. Eliminate the reveal arch at the south end of the west
elevation and continue the trim band behind the trellis.
6. The trellis beams should be increased in size and decreased in
spacing.
The applicant has provided revised plans that address the
recommendations of the Design Review Committee- These plans are
included as exhibits in the staff report-
C. Technical Review Committee: Upon reviewing the plans submitted by
the applicant, staff noted one minor inconsistency between the
proposed site plan and the approved Parcel Map- Along the west
side of the project, the radius of the freeway dedication is
slightly smaller on the proposed plans- This will necessitate a
minor shift in the driveway alignment in order to obtain a minimum
5-foot landscape setback- Because of the minor nature of the
change, staff has simply added a condition of approval requiring
the revision to be reviewed and approved by the City Planner prior
to the issuance of building permits.
D. Environmental Assessment: Conditional Use Permit 90-37 was
approved by the City Council on August 21, 1991 and a Negative
Declaration was issued for the project. As part of this approval,
plans for a drive-thru facility at this location were considered in
approving the Master Plan for the center- Because the application
PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT
CUP 92-05 - IN-N-OUT BURGER
June 24, 1992
Page 4
is in substantial conformance with the master plan, the Negative
Declaration issued for the original Conditional Use Permit
adequately addresses the environmental impacts of the project-
Therefore, no additional environmental assessment is required.
FACTS FOR FINDINGS: The project is consistent with the General Plan,
the Development Code, and the Foothill Boulevard Specific Plan. The
project will not be detrimental to adjacent properties or cause
significant adverse environmental impacts- In addition, the proposed
use and site plan, together with the recommended conditions of approval,
are in compliance with all applicable provisions of the Foothill
Boulevard Specific Plan, the Development Code and City standards.
CORRESPONDENCE: This item has been advertised in the Inland Valley
Daily Bulletin as a public hearing, notices were sent to all property
owners within 300 feet of the site, and the site was posted-

STAFF REPORT
DATE: June 24, 1992
TO: Chairman and Members of the Planning Commission
FROM: Brad Buller, City Planner
BY: Scott Murphy, Associate Planner
SUBJECT: CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT 90-37 - FOOTHILL MARKETPLACE - Review
of the proposed integral public art for inclusion in the
previously approved commercial retail center located on the
south side of Foothill Boulevard between 1-15 and Etiwanda
Avenue - APN: 229-031-03 through 13, 15, 16, 20, and a
portion of 59.
BACKGROUND: On January 3, 1991, the Historic Preservation Commission
recommended to the City Council a Point of Interest Designation for the
Foothill Marketplace site- As a part of the recommendation, the
Historic Preservation Commission included a condition requiring the
integration of public art into the design of the buildings that
reflected the familial and wine-making past of the southern Etiwanda
area. This condition was required as mitigation for the cultural
resources being lost with the redevelopment of the site- The City
Council subsequently approved the Point of Interest Designation,
including in their Resolution the condition for integrated public art.
This condition was eventually incorporated into the Resolution of
Approval for Conditional Use Permit 90-37 adopted by the Planning
Commission and City Council-
HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMISSION: During the past few months, the
applicant has been finalizing the integral public art for submittal to
the City. On May 7, 1992, the Historic preservation Commission reviewed
the formal proposal for the integral public art. After considering the
various designs, media, and styles, the Commission directed the
applicant and staff to pursue a final concept utilizing the following
criteria:
1. Murals in a realistic style with subtle colors and tones
so as not to "fight" with the design and colors of the
buildings-
2.Several smaller murals should be provided across the
site instead of one 20 x 40-foot mural.
3. The use of grape leaves on an arch and/or stamped into
the concrete was appealing.

4. The possible use of a bas-relief within the main plaza
area should be considered.
5. Narrative text should be provided to describe the
Etiwanda history in addition to the pictorial displays-
With the focus more clearly defined, a new proposal (see Exhibit "A")
was submitted for review by the Historic Preservation Commission at
their June 4, 1992, meeting. After considering the information, the
Commission recommended the following be pursued for incorporation into
the final design of the center:
1. In that the Point of Interest Designation was for the
entire site, any proposal should include integral art
across the entire site. While Price Club and Wal-Mart
may not allow the art on their parcels, the western
portion of the site under the control of the applicant
can be used for additional displays. Possible subjects
include the Campanella family and the Big Bear Winery.
2. Four murals should be provided for the project - two
within the eastern portion and two within the western
portion. Two murals were selected each from Rebecca
Guzak (Nos- 2 and 3) and Susana Sheid (Nos. 1 and 2).
The murals from each artist should be kept together and
not intermixed with the other artist's work.
3- Two welded grape arbors at the main plaza entries should
be provided-
4. Grape leaf patterns should be embedded into the concrete
around the grape arbors/arches-
5. Medallions should be used within the eastern and western
portions of the site- The medallions should be designed
with a narrative, informational focus rather than an art
focus- The applicant should work with staff on the
final wording of the medallion descriptions-
6. The bas-relief and reflecting pool should be used in the
main plaza area- The final design of the bas-relief
should be reviewed and approved by staff.
7. Indigenous plant materials with sculptural and exotic
shapes should be used to enhance the main plaza area.
8. Maintenance of the reflecting pool and murals should be
included-

FOOTHILL MARKETPLACE PARTNERS
Integra! Art Proposal Summary
May 28, 1992
On Thursday, May 7th, the Foothill Marketplace Partners appeared before the Historical
Preservation Commission to present their initial report on the Integral Public Art Condition
for the development of the shopping center. Various artistic concepts were presented and
discussed in detail. Foothill Marketplace Partners summarized their efforts to date and
proposed their ideas for ways to represent the history throughout the site. (See attached
copy of summary).
The Commissioners reviewed the package and gave direction for the developer's final
submittal. The Commissioners felt that first and foremost, the purpose of the art should
be to educate and inform. Generally, there was a consensus that the art should be realistic
(not abstract), and should tell the story of the grape and italian wine-making community.
Specific attention will be brought to the families which lived on the site. The instructions
suggested that bright colors should be avoided, but instead emphasizing earth tones. The
murals were also to be down-scaled; illustrating only one or two scenes.
Acting upon the developer's suggestion, the Commissioners agreed to pursue three artists
for a final submittal to be made for the June 4th Historical Preservation Commission
meeting. Two muralists, Susana Shied and Rebecca Guzak, were selected. A third artist,
Linda Quinn, was also chosen to pursue several ideas for the plaza area.
Subsequent to the Hearing, a meeting was held at City Hall with the three artists to further
define the perimeters for their presentations. The developer produced and distributed an
exhibit (attached) to assist the muralists with size and location criteria.
Included in this package are each of the three artists' revised proposals.
The following proposal is intended to set a framework for the Commissioners' final
approval selection.
DEVELOPER'S SUGGESTIONS
For the Commissioners review, Foothill Marketplace Partners have included with this
submittal a site plan that calls out the specific locations in which we propose to feature the
integral art. It is our feeling that the site's history can be best portrayed through a variety
of artistic mediums.
FOOTHILL MARKETPLACE PARTNERS
Integral Art Proposal Summary

MEDALLIONS
Consistent with several of the Commission's comments, Foothill Marketplace Partners feel
the medallions should be a very' direct recount of the site's history. Artwork should be kept
to a minimum. The locations chosen by the developer for the placement of the medallions
correspond to the approximate location of the site's early structures. For example, on Pad
4 a narrative describing the Guidera house would be placed in a location that was
appropriate once the final design of this building was determined.
To narrate the story, the developer feels six different medallions should be placed
throughout the eastern portion of the site. To accurately describe the history and place the
medallions appropriately, we suggest final language and location be !eft to the City's
planning staff. The six suggested locations are designated on the attached site plan by the
letter "M".
SCULPTURE
As a second element of the integral art, Foothill Marketplace Partners suggest contracting
with Linda Quinn to pursue her proposal as detailed in her attached letter. The plaza
fountain would be replaced with a reflection pool featuring a monolith bas-relief depicting
the history of the area in picture-story form. Additionally, simple but eloquent metal
arbors or archways would be placed at two of the entrances to this area. The arbors would
be three copper pipes arching over each other with metal grape vines and soft tendrils
trailing and wrapping over the pipes. Finally, grape leaves would be stamped in the
concrete.
MURALS
Foothill Marketplace Partners feels two murals, one painted directly on the stucco and the
second painted in a mosaic style on ceramic tiles, would complete the site's history. Our
preference is Susana Sheid's #1 for the mosaic and Rebecca Guzak's #4 for the direct
mural.
Foothill Marketplace Partners look forward to the Commission's directions on this
proposal.

Re: Proposal for Artwork in Public Areas of the Foothill Marketplace;
Rancho Cucamonga, California
Dear Phil:
Based on your instructions in our last discussion, the design of the murals were
to be made less decorative and more educational, showing the process of winemaking
during the 1920's and 1930's occurring at the Foothill Marketplace site.
After some investigation, the designs that I am presenting are as follows:
Mural Number I Plowing the Fields and Harvesting the Grapes
Mural Number 2 Pressing the Grapes and Constructing the
Barrels
Mural Number3 Pumping the Wine, Filling, Corking and
Labeling the Bottles
Mural Number 4 Scene of the Winery with a Portrait of the
Guidera Family
These designs which I am presenting are subject to some modification and
refinement. If my proposal was to be accepted, I would continue my research,
focusing on the Guidera, Campanella and Di Carlo families to find more information
on their lives. As an example, I would like to find out if they plowed the land with
mules at that time or used tractors for the work. Also it would be important for me
to portray the families and their activities with as much accuracy as possible.
Mr. R. Phillip Ramming III

It should be noted that the layout of the murals corresponds to the locations
of the artwork in the Foothill Marketplace. The specifications indicate that the murals
are to be 5 feet high by 15 feet wide each. They also indicate that the murals will be
situated on a corner so that one exposure will be 5 feet high by 5 feet wide and the
adjacent exposure will be 5 feet high by 10 feet wide. Each of my murals is designed
so that it will depict a separate scene in each segment of the mural, yet when the
scenes are combined or viewed together they are harmonious and consistent in
context.
As far as the colors are concerned, they will be more muted, based on your
comments, in order to give a more traditional rather than modern character. If the
murals are done in ceramic tile, the background will be white, as is the color of the
unpainted and unglazed ceramic tiles.
The cost of the murals done on ceramic tile will include the conceptual studies,
the artwork, the cost of all underglaze paints, finish glazes and the firing of tiles. Not
included in this price will be the cost of the field and decorative tiles and the
installation of the tiles on the walls. The cost of the murals done on ceramic tile will
be This price also reflects the substantial
amount of detail which has been requested in the proposal.
The cost of the murals painted directly on the finished plaster surface will
include the conceptual studies, the artwork, the cost of all paints, finish sealers and
travel to and from the work site. The cost of the murals painted directly on the
finished plaster surface will be -~ This price also
reflects the substantial amount of detail which has been requested in the proposal.
The cost of maintaining the artwork would be charged on an hourly basis as
needed. The hourly rate for this work would be $50 per hour including travel time to
and from the site.
Thank you again for allowing me to present my ideas for your artwork in the
Foothill Marketplace.
Sincerely,
Susana Diaz Rivera de Sheid

RE: Proposal II - Foothill Marketplace
Dear Mr. Ramming:
Please accept the following revised proposal for the artwork to be performed at Foothill
Marketplace in the city of Rancho Cucamonga.
Plaza Courtyard
The plaza courtyard is an area that is probably the most important in the whole
marketplace. Plazas have been utilized for countless decades as a public meeting place, a
gathering place for individuals and families. I would like this area to entice the public to
spend time here to rest, play and interact.
To start, the entrance needs to state a special space with a subtle boundary to the area, that
says "This is special". The simpler the approach the better. Over the entrances, I'm
proposing metal pipe arched over the concrete path. Three arches over each individual
entrance. One main arch, approximately 1"-11/2" round metal tubing. Repeating the same
arch, two smaller diameter metal tubes on each side of the main one. Approximately 3/4"-
1/2". In metal there would be ivy vines; leaves with tendrils and clusters of grapes. A metal
interpretation of grape vines. This would be metalized to prevent any metal corrosion, and
then painted in a rustoleum metal paint. Over this will be subtly painted natural tones of
nature on the leaves and tendrils. Each arch would be welded firmly and embedded or
mounted in concrete.
Mr. Phillip Ramming
May 28, 1992
Page 2
As the participant walks through and under the archway, the path they walk on is concrete,
smooth troweled squares with sandblasted concrete squares. The geometric design would
be broken up with leaf patterns, softly embedded incised images of grape leaves naturally
and randomly placed. Some areas would be denser than others, as leaves would fall in
nature.
This would be achieved by stamping or tapping metal leaves into the appropriate time when
concert is being poured. Removing the metal at a later time, ~,ou would achieve a shallow
image embossed in the concrete. The depth would be slight and create no problem walking
on the surface, in fact in wet times it would only create better friction.
Plaques, Medallions, and other similar products, I can also help you with. Whether this
be cast in bronze or inscribed on metal plates. These can be done on an hourly fee basis,
if I'm not personally making it with my crew in my studio.
In the center of the plaza replacing the fountain, I have proposed a cylindercal stone
sculpture depicting the historical imagery. The material being used would be a durable cast
stone or a carvable light-weight concrete. Both materials are intended for exterior space
and both can be carved into. This piece would approximately. be 5'-5 1/2' high and 4'-3 1/2'
feet wide. A viewer can walk entirely around the piece. Sta!?ing at the top and wrapping
around the piece, would be a bas-relief or incising/carved im 3ery, depicting in story form
a historical theme. The theme can be decided upon at a later date. Surrounding the
monolithic sculpture will be a reflection pool with an approximate 3 1/2'-4' radius from
sculpture. A written description will be placed around the perimeter of the poo!'s ledge.
The viewer can read what is being depicted on the art piece. This is an effective way in
which to educate the public and make it interesting and enjoyable.
The plants that are used in this area are also an important aspect to the overall mood and
aesthetics of the space. Very simply, utilizing indegious plants, with sculptural and exotic
shapes would enhance the environment and add to the overall theme.
Other areas not discussed previously that need elements of the viticulture included, can be
added simply and to compliment the whole project.
Mr. Phillip Ramming
May 28, 1992

Costs on Main Items.:
1. Arbors over entrances: costs includes materials, fabrication, and custom finish. This
doesn't include installation or metalizing. I will have to give my metalizers a
complete drawing to get their price.
Each Arbor: depending on density of plant motif.
2. Pattern of ivy leaves in concrete walk: hourly charge/fqr two persons -
3. A. Sculpture Column - approximate price between - includes
materials, fabrication, carving, design and finish..Installation to be worked out with
Wattson Company.
B. Written description of sculpture piece - difficult at this time to price. Decision
on materials, amount of information to inscribe, etc.
The marketplace project is not only a large scale undertaking, but specific needs need to
be met on many other levels. From my own personal experience, when so many individuals
are involved, it can be difficult to move forward. I, and my Company, have provided art
consultation for a variety of businesses and individuals. Not ~x,.!y the art conceptions, but
providing solutions to fabrications of materials that need to press their uniqueness. If
you find that you need a service of this nature, please keep me in mind. l'm a strong
believer that artistic endeavors/or statements can be accomplished without costs
skyrocketing. By using the creative concepts with new approaches. The main objective on
any project is to turn out a successfully completed job and to have everyone happy with the
outcome.
Sincerely,
Linda Quinn
FOOTHILL MARKETPlACE PARTNERS
Integral Art Proposal Summary
/
As part oVResolution 91.86 adopted July of 1991, Foothill Marketplace Partners are
required to fulfill various conditions pertaining to the loss of historical points of interest
that were on our site prior to its development of the shopping center.
At this point, all the conditions, with the exception of the integral art, have been ful~lled.
PROPOSAL SUMMARY
In Foothill Marketplace's April 24, 1992 submittal, we presented artistic conceptions in
three mediums from seven artists. These proposals can be summarized as follows (detailed
information is contained in the April 24, 1992 submittal):
Ceramic and Bronze Plaques
Foothill Marketplace's design team, working with the artists, conceptualized a
narrative history to be displayed throughout the shopping center portraying the wine
making and Route 66 heritage. This artistic portrayal would be displayed in
pedestrian/shopper gathering areas and in a building cornerstone presentation.
Another idea for this concept is to incorporate the ceramic tiles as a framework for
the medallions to be set in the plaza fountain.
Sculpture
This art piece incorporates the wine making past by portraying the image of
grapevines composed of machinery and tools used by the wineries. This piece would
be placed in the plaza area as the main focal point.
Murals
Rebecca Guzak
She uses a layered mural, depicting the rural atmosphere of the Etiwanda region as
well as various illustrations of local specific buildings and families. This idea
portrays the historical wine-making industry and architecture as well as the
pioneering and hard work of the families. The mural is done in muted coloring,
creating a realistic picture of antiquity.
Trace Tres Fukuhara
This artist included two different concepts for a mural. The first is a paneled mural
with eight separate designs. Each design depicts a phase of the wine-making process
from start to finish. This concept portra s the hard work and struggle endured by
FOOTHILL MARKETPLACE PARTNERS
Integral Art Proposal Summary

the pioneering families. The second mural is a unique design for a focal corner
point display. This concept displays the vineyards and local environment. Both
murals use vivid colors.
Stephen L. Schloss
This presentation is a modern realist approach using vivid coloring to create a
feeling of festivity and movement. It displays several aspects of the farming and
production of wine in the 1920's. It also portrays a pioneering family in a
celebration atmosphere, toasting to a worthy harvest.
Susana Sheid
She included two ideas, both of which use ceramic tiles as her foundation using
vibrant colors and rich textures. Her first concept uses the mountains as a backdrop
to fields of vineyards, with a relaxed atmosphere of women and children harvesting
the grapes and plowing in the vineyard. Her second idea is portraying members of
the families to one side and in the center is a view of a man atop a horse-drawn
wagon hauling grapes from the fields back to the winery. At the other side of the
mural is a view of the Guidera Wine Store.
Robert Downs
His design is to create a mural by painting the artwork on ceramic tiles and
arranging them in a unique and colorful display depicting various relics and artifacts
from the local area.
DEVELOPERS PROPOSAL
Although the city ordinance suggests a selection by the Historical Preservation Committee
and the Planning Commission of one of the three proposals, our review and discussion with
the staff have concluded that a mix may be more appropriate then selecting one art piece.
We feel the history may be best represented through a variety of smaller art statements.
The Foothill Marketplace Partners suggest that the Historical Preservation Committee
approve a plan for integral artwork which consists of the following:
1) Feature family names through out the site on monument and directory signs
consistent with the illustration in our detailed submittal.
FOOTHILL MARKETPLACE PARTNERS
Integral Art Proposal Summary
Page 3 of 3
2) Incorporate into pads 2, 3 and 4, the medallion concept. These pads were
selected because they are located on the site of the now removed historical
points of interest. Each pad would feature a narrative in ceramic tile with a
bronze medallion describing the structures and acts that once took place at
the site. Two examples are as follows:
Narrative #1:
The dwellings of the DiCarlo, Schiro, Campanella, Ellcan, Columbaro and
Guidera families were once located on this site. These families forged a
community based on shared cultural background, faith and way of existence.
Narrative #4:
On this site once stood the Orchard/Meier filling station which is linked
historically to the small retail wineries in the area and lies beside the most
popular thoroughfare of the time, Route 66.
3) Foothill Marketplace Partners suggest that two muralists are selected to paint
their work in the two areas marked on the attached site plan. We feel two
murals of limited size would give a greater impact than one larger statement.
We suggest that Rebecca Guzak, Susana Sheid and Tres Fukuhara be given
further direction and be requested to submit final proposals.

SUBJECT: DEVELOPMENT REVIEW 91-23 - R.K. DEVELOPMENT - The development of a
single family house totaling 5,007 square feet on 0.5 acres of land
in the Very Low Residential District (less than 2 dwelling units
per acre), located at 5041 Beryl Street - APN: 1061-821-15.
ABSTRACT: This item has been referred by the City Planner to the full
Planning Commission to review the proposed custom house design for a hillside
lot relative to major design issues discussed at the May 21, 1992, Design
Review Committee meeting.
BACKGROUND: This infill lot is located on the east side of Beryl Street
within Tract 11626 which is developed with custom homes on all sides (see
Exhibit "A"). Most of the houses within this tract were approved prior to the
adoption of the Hillside Development Regulations, and represent the type of
hillside development that is undesirable. The existing grade slopes 10 to 30
percent from west to east (see Exhibit "B"). The steeper areas are the result
of fill from construction of surrounding houses-
The project was originally submitted in December 1991, but was deemed
incomplete for inadequate and inaccurate plans- As part of the incomplete
notice, staff also identified major design issues relative to inconsistencies
with the intent of the Hillside Development Regulations. The project was
resubmitted and deemed complete in late April 1992, however, the major design
issues were not resolved.
APPLICABLE REGULATIONS: The house is subject to City Planner review (i.e-,
design review) under the Hillside Development Regulations (Rancho Cucamonga
Municipal Code Section 17.24.020) because the existing slopes are greater than
8 percent and 4.5 feet of fill is proposed. However, in this instance, the
City Planner has invoked his authority to refer the project to the Planning
Commission because of the negative recommendations from the advisory
committees and the applicant's reluctance to change the design.
A. Design Review Committee: The Design Review Committee (Melcher, Tolstoy,
Coleman) reviewed the project on May 21, 1992, and focused on three major
design issues as listed below. The Committee did not recommend approval
and noted that significant modifications to the house would be necessary-
1. The Committee determined that the house design is contrary to the
intent and requirements of the Hillside Development Regulations for
the following reasons:
ITE~ F
PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT
DR 91-23 - R.K. DEVELOPMENT
June 24, 1992
Page 2
a. The house is designed with essentially a flat first floor (see
Exhibit "D- 1" and "F- 1" ) .
b- The 1,218 square foot lower level (see Exhibit "D-3") required
approximately 5 feet of cut below existing grade (see Exhibit
"G" and "B-2").
c- The finished floor at the southeast corner of the house is 10
feet above existing grade requiring approximately 4 feet of
fill and 2:1 and 3:1 slopes on top of a 4-foot retaining wall
(see Exhibit "B-2" and "B-3")-
d. The effective visual bulk of the house, as viewed from the
east, is that of a three story house, measuring 37 feet (see
Exhibit "E-2").
Staff Comment: The intent of the Hillside Development Regulations
is to fit the house to the landform- Special architectural and
design techniques are required, such as split level foundations of
greater than 18 inches, stem walls, stacking, and terracing- The
floor plan is not sensitive to the existing grade which falls
approximately 8 to 11 feet from front-to-back of the house (see
Exhibit "B-3" and "C-4")- The design concept is based on a flat
first floor in which only the family room has been stepped down
12 inches.
2. The proposed fill grading, which raises the finish grade at the
southeast corner of the house so that overall height does not exceed
the maximum building envelope, is not an acceptable solution.
Staff Comment: The fill is being used to artifically raise the
landform bocause the building envelope is measured from finished
grade (see Exhibit "E-2")- The first floor of the house is 10 feet
above existing grade at this location (see Exhibit "B-2").
3- The proposed grading scheme is inconsistent with the intent and
criteria of the Hillside Development Regulations.
Staff Comment: The cut/fill plan submitted by the applicant
indicates that 55 percent of the site is being graded to create a
pad for the house (see Exhibit "G")- The Hillside Development
Regulations established a standard that "lot padding is limited to
the boundaries of the structure's foundation and a usable rear yard
area of 15 feet---" Further, the resulting slopes are designed at a
constant 2:1 angle, creating a rigid "engineered" appearance, which
is inconsistent with the guidelines- The proposed 4-foot high
retaining wall along the south elevation exceeds the 3-foot height
limit-
Due to the significance of the Committee's concerns, and the applicant's
reluctance to redesign the house, the secondary design issues identified
by staff were not discussed (see Exhibit "H"). However, the Committee
PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT
DR 91-23 - R.K. DEVELOPMENT
June 24, 1992
Page 3
did recommend lowering the pitch from 8:12 to 6:12. This would lower the
main roof peak by 4 feet and significantly reduce the effective visual
bulk of the house-
Following the Committee meeting, the applicant submitted the attached
written statement in support of the project design as proposed- The
applicant is requesting that the house be approved in its present
configuration.
B. Grading Committee: The project was also reviewed by the Grading
Committee on May 19, 1992. The Grading Committee did not recommend
approval and requested additional information. The Committee felt that
the proposed design did not minimize grading.
OPTIONS: The following options may be considered:
1. Deny the project based upon the negative recommendations of the
advisory committees, or
2. Refer the item back to the Design Review and Grading Committees for
redesign, if the applicant is willing, or
3. Approve, or conditionally approve, the project as proposed.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the Planning Commissi'on consider the
staff report, and the applicant's testimony. If the Commission concurs with
the advisory committees, then the project should be denied through adoption of
the attached Resolution. However, if the design is deemed "workable", then
the City Planner should be directed by minute action to approve or take the
item back to the committees for refinement-

Attention: Planning
Re : Design Review 91-23
Gentlemen/Ladies:
I am writing this letter to you to request a review of the decision
of your Design Review Committee on May 21st on the above project
and to secondly, to appraise you of additional facts on the
project.
At the outset, I would hope that you would all agree, as did the
Design Review Committee, that the above project is in complete
compliance with the letter of the llillside Ordinance. There is
nothing in the present design that violates the ordinance as it is
written.
The objections to the project seem to be in application of
subjective standards by certain members of the Design Review
Committee and staff, these being:
1). The "appearance" of a .three story condition to the rear
elevation of the residence and
2). A "massive" feeling of the rear elevation.
To lessen the argument that the house is too "massive", I have been
requested to be more sensitive to the natural topography. You will
note that there is no cut or fill greater than 4.5 feet in any area
and the project is terraced. The lot coverage by this design is
substantially lens than what could be proposed under the present
guidelines. The existing architecture of the tract, you would
agree, is not homogeneous. My project is sensitive to existing
conditions and is in conformity to the Hillside standards.
The use of a terraced design gave rise to the appearance of a three
story condition. However, a close review of the e]c\'ation will
verify that. this was a subjective con{'lusion and not based on the
actual facts. The project on th]s issue is also in conformity with
the Hillside sta~,dards.
I realize the c,~o~','ns and obligations that the City of Rancho
Cucamongn has in the review of proposed residences. However, I
~;ou]d urge that feelings and subjective judgments in reviewing
process should not prevent construction of houses that in fact do
conform with the existing objective guidelines. The end result of
judgments is a further exacerbation of an already fragile economy.

Gentlemen:
This is in response to your recent telephone conversation with, Mr. Ralph Roach who has asked that we respond
to issues you raised at that time.
1. The proposed maximum depth of fill on the site is four and a half feet which is less than the five feet
maximum allowed in your Hillside Development Standard.
2. The existing front setbacks within Tract 11626 are thirty feet. We have increased the front setback thirty
percent on this lot to forty feet.
3. The side yard setbacks have been increased substantially, fifteen feet on the north and twenty-one feet on
the south side, for a total side yard setback of thirty-six feet as opposed to the required total sethack of
twenty-five feet.
4. The house plans and the Grading Plan have been revised to be consistent with the hillside development
standards, this has insured the compliance with the structural building envelope and elevation standards.
5. The four foot high retaining wall on the south side of the property is within the allowable tolerances
called out in your Hillside Development Standards.
6. We feel that we have followed the intent of the Hillside Development Standards by limiting the cut and
fill area to no more than 25% of the site, by limiting the amount of cut and fill to 520 cubic yards with no
import or export, and we are grading the site to follow the natural slope of the existing site.
7. The grading plan has been carefully designed to conform with the natural terrain and to conform with all
requirements of the Hillside Development Standards.
We believe that the grading plan conforms with the requirements set forth in your Hillside Development
Standards and City ordinances. If we may be of any assistance, please feel free to call on us at any time.
Very truly yours,
MARTIN & ASSOCIATES

DESIGN REVIEW COMMENTS
7:40 - 8:00 Tom May 21, 1992
DEVELOPMENT REVIEW 91-23 - R.K. DEVELOPMENT - The development of a
single family house totaling 5,007 square feet on 0.5 acres of land in
the Very Low Residential District (1-2 dwelling units per acre), located
at 5041 Beryl Street - APN: 1061-821-15.
Design Parameters:
This application pertains to the development of a single family house on
property subject to requirements of the Hillside Development
Ordinance. The project site is located on the east side of Beryl Avenue
and single family homes are situated directly to the north, east, and
south. Vegetation consists of native grass and weeds and the grade
slopes approximately 10 to 12 percent from the northwest. Existing
topography is not natural slope, during development of an adjacent
parcel a significant level of fill was placed on the lot, most of which
has since been removed. This application is not subject to Planning
Commission review and approval-
Staff Cca-~.nts:
The following comments are intended to provide an outline for Committee
discussion:
Ma3or Issues:
The following broad design issues will be the focus of Committee
discussion regarding this project:
1. The house design is contrary to the intent and requirements of the
Hillside Development Ordinance. Specifically, the floor
configuration is not sensitive to the existing grade which falls
approximately 8 feet from front-to-back of the proposed house. The
house should be redesigned to conform to the existing contours
using various techniques as described in the ordinance, including
but not limited to, stem walls and split level foundations to
minimize the effective bulk on the exterior of the structure.
2. The proposed fill grading which raises the finish elevation at the
southeast corner of the structure so the overall height does not
exceed the building envelope, is not an acceptable design
solution- In the development of a hillside residence some amount
of fill is expected, however, it should be kept at a minimum and
follow the existing contours of the site so the resulting grade can
appear as natural as possible.

3. The proposed grading scheme is inconsistent with the intent and
criteria of the ordinance. Specifically, the 2:1 slope should be
redesigne~ to appear more natural through the use of variable slope
gradient, rounding off the top and toe, and following the existing
contour pattern.
Secondary Issues:
Once all of the major issues have been addressed, and time permitting,
the Committee will discuss the following secondary design issues:
1. The architectural design should be revised to provide 360 degree
architectural treatment-
2. The use of masonite siding appears as an after thought and should
either be substantially increased or removed from the elevations.
3. Expand the use of Palos Verde stone veneer. Suggested locations
include: the entryway columns, below the living room windows on
the west and south elevations, and expanding the base element on
the north elevation.
4. The 8:12 roof pitch creates too massive of an appearance and should
be lowered-
Design Review Coemittee Action:
Members Present: John Melcher, Peter Tolstoy, Dan Coleman
Staff Planner: Tom Grahn
The Committee did not recommend approval for the following reasons:
1. The Committee determined that the proposed design concept was
contrary to the intent of the Hillside Development Ordinance.
Specifically, the Committee noted that the house was designed with
a flat first floor, a large lower level which required cutting into
existing grades, and the southeast corner of the house was 10 feet
above existing grade requiring extensive fill and retaining
walls. The Committee also noted that the house appeared to be
three stories on the east elevation.
2. The house design and grading scheme should be revised to reduce the
amount of cut and fill-

3. The roof pitch should be lowered from 8:12 to 6:12 or similar to
reduce the roof massing and overall structure height.
The Committee recommended that the applicant make significant
modifications to the design concept to the satisfaction of staff before
returning to the Design Review Committee.
